In this patch, all symbols are resolved normally and then wrap options
are applied. Renaming is implemented by mutating `Body` pointers of
Symbols. (As a result, Symtab.find(SymbolName)->getName() may return
a string that's different from SymbolName, but that is by design.
I designed the symbol and the symbol table to allow this kind of
operations.)

String tables in unstripped executable files are fairly large in size.
For example, lld's executable file is about 34.4 MB in my environment,
and of which 3.5 MB is the string table. Efficiency of string table
construction matters.
Previously, the string table was built in an inefficient way. We used
StringTableBuilder to build that and enabled string tail merging,
although tail merging is not effective for the symbol table (you can
only make the string table 0.3% smaller for lld.) Tail merging is
computation intensive task and slow.
This patch eliminates string tail merging.
I changed the way of adding strings to the string table in this patch
too. Previously, strings were added using add() and the same strings
were then passed to getOffset() to get their offsets in the string table.
In this way, getOffset() needs to look up a hash table to get offsets
for given strings. This is a violation of "we look up the symbol table
(or a hash table) only once for each symbol" dogma of the new LLD's
design. Hash table lookup for long C++ mangled names is slow.
I eliminated that lookup in this patch.
In total, this patch improves link time of lld itself about 12%
(3.50 seconds -> 3.08 seconds.)

In a UI such as XCode, LLVM source files are in 'libraries' while clang
files are in 'clang libraries'.
This change moves the lld source to 'lld libraries' to make code browsing easier.
It should be NFC as the build itself is still the same, just the structure in a
UI differs.

MipsReginfoInputSection is basically just a container of Elf_Mips_Reginfo
struct. This patch makes that struct directly accessible from others.

Unlike ObjectFile or ArchiveFile, SharedFile had two parse functions,
parseSoName() and parse(). parse must have been called after parseSoName,
but that requirement was not obvious from their names. (So it looked
like you could call parse() on a shared object file right away.)
This patch rename parseRest. It is now obvious that there's no single
parse function for the shared object file.

Previously, we handle archive files with --whole-archive this way:
create instances of ArchiveFile, call getMembers to obtain memory
buffers of archive members, and create ObjectFiles for the members.
We didn't call anything except getMembers if --whole-archive was
specified.
I noticed that we didn't actually have to create ArchiveFile instaces
at all for that case. All we need is to get a list of memory buffers
for members, which can be done by a non-member function.
This patch removes getMembers member function from ArchiveFile.
Also removed unnecessary code for memory management.

Test did not catch this either, so I`ll improve it and recommit later.
Original commit message:
[ELF] - Optimize .eh_frame section: remove CIE if all FDEs referencing it were removed.
This patch performs little optimization for eh_frame section.
If all FDE`s that referenced CIE are removed then CIE is also removed from output.
That can happen for example when dropping FDEs that point to dropped sections. Testcase showing that is included.
The same optimization was added to ld about 14 years ago: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2001-12/msg00144.html, gold does not do that it seems.

The linker has to create __tls_get_addr, end and _end symbols.
Previously, these symbols were created in createSections().
But they are not actually related to creating output sections.
This patch moves code out of the function.
