GroupedSectionsPass was a complicated pass. That pass's job was to reorder
atoms by section name, so that the atoms with the same section prefix will be
emitted consecutively to the executable. The pass added layout edges to atoms,
and let the layout pass to actually reorder them.
This patch simplifies the design by making GroupedSectionPass to directly
reorder atoms, rather than adding layout edges. This resembles ELF's
ArrayOrderPass.
This patch improves the performance of LLD; it used to take 7.1 seconds to
link LLD with LLD on my Macbook Pro, but it now takes 6.1 seconds.

Atom ordinals are the indeces in a file. Currently the PECOFF reader assigns
ordinals for each section, so it's (incorrectly) assigning duplicate ordinals.

Instead of having multiple SectionChunks for each section (.text, .data,
.rdata and .bss), we could have one chunk writer that can emit any sections.
This patch does that -- removing all section-sepcific chunk writers and
replace them with one "generic" writer.
This change should simplify the code because it eliminates similar-but-
slightly-different classes.
It also fixes an issue in the previous design. Before this patch, we could
emit only limited set of sections (i.e. .text, .data, .rdata and .bss). With
this patch, we can emit any sections.

Disable tests to be run with REQUIRES: disable. Note disable is not added to the
config by the test runner Mkaefiles, so essentially disables the test.

We added layout edges to the head atoms in grouped sections. That was wrong,
because the head atom needs to be followed by the other atoms in the *same*
section, not by the other section contents. With this patch, layout edges are
added from tail atom, which is the last atom in a section, to head atom.

With this patch the entry symbol is treated as an undefined symbol, to force
the resolver to resolve the entry symbol.

With this patch, it can now resolve relocations in the same output file.
"Hello world" program does not still work because call to the DLL routine
is not supported yet.
