This changes improves performance of lld, when self-hosting lld, when compared
with the bfd linker. BFD linker on average takes 8 seconds in elapsed time.
lld takes 3 seconds elapased time average. Without this change, lld takes ~5
seconds average. The runtime comparisons were done on a release build and
measured by running linking thrice.

I knew I cut corners when I wrote this. Turned out that it is
actually slow when a file being read has many symbols. This patch
is to stop doing linear search and instead do map lookup.

This adds a parallel_for_each similar to functionality in MSVC concurrency
library.
This was very patiently reviewed by Rui and credits go to him for this patch.

The `eh_frame_ptr` field in the `.eh_frame_hdr` section contains an address
of the `.eh_frame` section. Using an absolute 32-bit format for encoding
of this field does not work for 64-bit targets. It is better to use a
relative format because it covers both 32-bit and 64-bit cases. Sure
this work if a distance between `.eh_frame_hdr` and `.eh_frame` sections
is less than 4 Gb but it is a rather correct assumption.

Puts symbols defined in linker script expressions in a runtime file that is
added as input to the resolver, making the input object files see symbols
defined in linker scripts.

This commit implements the behaviour of the SECTIONS linker script directive,
used to not only define a custom mapping between input and output sections, but
also order input sections in the output file. To do this, we modify
DefaultLayout with hooks at important places that allow us to re-order input
sections according to a custom order. We also add a hook in SegmentChunk to
allow us to calculate linker script expressions while assigning virtual
addresses to the input sections that live in a segment.
Not all SECTIONS constructs are currently supported, but only the ones that do
not use special sort orders. It adds two LIT test as practical examples of
which sections directives are currently supported.
In terms of high-level changes, it creates a new class "script::Sema" that owns
all linker script ASTs and the logic for linker script semantics as well.
ELFLinkingContext owns a single copy of Sema, which will be used throughout
the object file writing process (to layout sections as proposed by the linker
script).
Other high-level change is that the writer no longer uses a "const" copy of
the linking context. This happens because linker script expressions must be
calculated *while* calculating final virtual addresses, which is a very late
step in object file writing. While calculating these expressions, we need to
update the linker script symbol table (inside the semantics object), and, thus,
we are "modifying our context" as we prepare to write the file.

The gotSymbol need not be a global static variable. Apart from this reason, This
variable was creating an issue with self hosting lld, as there seems to be an
issue running global initializers, when initializing the guard for this static
variable.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

Handle resolution of symbols coming from linked object files lazily.

The Segment Chunk had two functions one to append a section and one to append a
chunk. A section is a subclass of a chunk and clearly this can be merged into
one single function.

GNU LD has an option named -T/--script which allows a user to specify
a linker script to be used [1]. LLD already accepts linker scripts
without this option, but the option is widely used. Therefore it is
best to support it in LLD as well.

This makes it a bit more like a 'real' iterator though I still haven't
gone through to make sure it meets the full requirements. Copy
assignability seems to be required by MSVC's std::find_if, which is its
right.

The canonical LLVM directory arrangement places binaries in the 'utils/'
tree when they are used as part of building the project. For example,
the tblgen binaries are built out of 'utils/' trees.
Tools which are not used by any other part of the build, including
testing utilities, are just in the 'tools' directory. For example, in
Clang we have 'c-index-test' which is exactly the same kind of thing as
'linker-script-test'.

the spec required by std::sort and friends.
Ordering things this way also dramatically simplifies the code as
short-circuit ensures we can skip all of the negative tests.
I've left one FIXME where we're establishing a fairly arbitrary
ordering. Previously, the function compared all types as equal except
for the ones it explicitly handled, but it didn't delegate correctly to
the atomflags when doing so, and so it would fail to be a SWO. The two
possible fixes are to stop comparing the atom flags entirely, or to
establish some arbitrary ordering of the types.
Since it was pure luck which ordering of unequal types we ended up with
previously (the caller was std::sort, not std::stable_sort) I chose to
make the ordering explicit and guaranteed. This seems like the best
conservative approach as I suspect we would want to switch to
stable_sort otherwise in order to have deterministic output.
