As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.
The ELF spec says
> If the sh_flags field for this section header includes the attribute SHF_INFO_LINK, then this member represents a section header table index.
Set SHF_INFO_LINK so that binary manipulation tools know that sh_info is
a section header table index instead of (the number of local symbols in the case of SHT_SYMTAB/SHT_DYNSYM).
We have already added SHF_INFO_LINK for --emit-relocs retained SHT_REL[A].
For example, we can teach llvm-objcopy to preserve the section index of the sh_info referenced section if
SHF_INFO_LINK is set. (GNU objcopy recognizes .rel[a].plt and updates
sh_info even if SHF_INFO_LINK is not set).

For the record, GNU ld changed to 64k max page size in 2014
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=7572ca8989ead4c3425a1500bc241eaaeffa2c89
"[RFC] ld/ARM: Increase maximum page size to 64kB"
Android driver forced 4k page size in AArch64 (D55029) and ARM (D77746).
A binary linked with max-page-size=4096 does not run on a system with a
higher page size configured. There are some systems out there that do
this and it leads to the binary getting `Killed!` by the kernel.
In the non-linker-script cases, when linked with -z noseparate-code
(default), the max-page-size increase should not cause any size
difference. There may be some VMA usage differences, though.

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`
line and causes the next `CHECK-NEXT:` to fail.
```
Disassembly of section .foo:
0000000000001634 .foo:

GNU ld creates the synthetic section .iplt, and has a built-in linker
script that assigns .iplt to the output section .plt . There is no
output section named .iplt .
Making .iplt an output section actually has a benefit that makes the
tricky toolchain feature stand out. Symbolizers don't have to deal with
mixed PLT entries (e.g. llvm-objdump -d incorrectly annotates such jump
targets).
On EM_PPC{,64}, .glink contains a PLT resolver and a series of jump
instructions. The 4-byte entry size makes it unnecessary to have an
alignment of 16.
Mark ppc32-gnu-ifunc.s and ppc32-gnu-ifunc-nonpreemptable.s as `XFAIL: *`.
They test IPLT on EM_PPC, which never works.

Previously we were setting it to the GotPlt output section, which is
incorrect on ARM where this section is in .got. In static binaries
this can lead to sh_info being set to -1 (because there is no .got.plt)
which results in various tools rejecting the output file.

A more efficient PLT sequence can be used when the distance between the
.plt and the end of the .plt.got is less than 128 Megabytes, which is
frequently true. We fall back to the old sequence when the offset is larger
than 128 Megabytes. This gives us an alternative to forcing the longer
entries with --long-plt as we gracefully fall back to it as needed.
See ELF for the ARM Architecture Appendix A for details of the PLT sequence.

This change introduces new synthetic sections IpltSection, IgotPltSection
that represent the ifunc entries that would previously have been put in
the PltSection and the GotPltSection. The separation makes sure that
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations are placed after the non R_*_IRELATIVE
relocations, which permits ifunc resolvers to know that the .got.plt
slots will be initialized prior to the resolver being called.
A secondary benefit is that for ARM we can move the IgotPltSection and its
dynamic relocations to the .got and .rel.dyn as the ARM glibc expects all
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations to be in the .rel.dyn

Add support for an ARM Target and the initial set of relocations
and PLT entries that are necessary for an ARM only hello world to
link. This has been tested against an ARM only sysroot from the
4.2.0 CodeSourcery Lite release.
Tests have been added to test/ELF for the support that has been
implemented.
Main limitations:
- No Thumb support
- Relocations incomplete
- No C++ exceptions support
- No TLS support
- No range extension or interworking veneer (thunk) support
- No Build Attribute support
- No Big-endian support
The deprecated relocations R_ARM_PLT32 and R_ARM_PC24 have been
implemented as these are used by the 4.2.0 CodeSourcery Lite release.
