This is what link.exe does and lets us avoid needing to worry about
merging output characteristics while adding input sections to output
sections.
With this change we can't process /merge in the same way as before
because sections with different output characteristics can still
be merged into one another. So this change moves the processing of
/merge to just before we assign addresses. In the case where there
are multiple output sections with the same name, link.exe only merges
the first section with the source name into the first section with
the target name, and we do the same.
At the same time I also implemented transitive merging (which means
that /merge:.c=.b /merge:.b=.a merges both .c and .b into .a).
This isn't quite enough though because link.exe has a special case for
.CRT in 32-bit mode: it processes sections whose output characteristics
are DATA | R | W as though the output characteristics were DATA | R
(so that they get merged into things like constructor lists in the
expected way). Chromium has a few such sections, and it turns out
that those sections were causing the problem that resulted in r318699
(merge .xdata into .rdata) being reverted: because of the previous
permission merging semantics, the .CRT sections were causing the entire
.rdata section to become writable, which caused the SEH runtime to
crash because it apparently requires .xdata to be read-only. This
change also implements the same special case.
This should unblock being able to merge .xdata into .rdata by default,
as well as .bss into .data, both of which will be done in followups.

Part of the DBI stream is a list of variable length structures
describing each module that contributes to the final executable.
One member of this structure is a section contribution entry that
describes the first section contribution in the output file for
the given module.
We have been leaving this structure unpopulated until now, so with
this patch it is now filled out correctly.

Summary:
This change does three things:
- Try to find the file and line number of an undefined symbol
reference by reading codeview debug info.
- Try to find the name of the function or global variable with the
undefined symbol reference by searching the object file's symbol
table.
- Prints the information in the same style as the ELF linker.

In this reland I removed an unnecessary use of /debug in the test
delayimports32.test and used the /pdbaltpath flag in the test
pdb-publics-import.test, both of which avoid embedding absolute PDB
paths in executables which could affect later RVAs.

The DBI stream contains a list of module descriptors. At the
beginning of each descriptor is a structure representing the first
section contribution in the output file for that module. LLD
currently doesn't fill out this structure at all, but link.exe
does. So as a precursor to emitting this data in LLD, we first
need a way to dump it so that it can be checked.
This patch adds support for the dumping, and verifies via a test
that LLD emits bogus information.

MIPS ABI requires creation of the MIPS_RLD_MAP dynamic tag for non-PIE

files and defines MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL.
The MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL tag stores the offset to the .rld_map section
relative to the address of the tag itself.

If all references to a DSO happen to be weak, and if the DSO is
specified with --as-needed, the DSO is not added to DT_NEEDED.
If that happens, we also need to eliminate shared symbols created
from the DSO. Otherwise, they become dangling references that point
to non-exsitent DSO.

I'm proposing a new command line flag, --warn-backrefs in this patch.
The flag and the feature proposed below don't exist in GNU linkers
nor the current lld.
--warn-backrefs is an option to detect reverse or cyclic dependencies
between static archives, and it can be used to keep your program
compatible with GNU linkers after you switch to lld. I'll explain the
feature and why you may find it useful below.
lld's symbol resolution semantics is more relaxed than traditional
Unix linkers. Therefore,
ld.lld foo.a bar.o
succeeds even if bar.o contains an undefined symbol that have to be
resolved by some object file in foo.a. Traditional Unix linkers
don't allow this kind of backward reference, as they visit each
file only once from left to right in the command line while
resolving all undefined symbol at the moment of visiting.
In the above case, since there's no undefined symbol when a linker
visits foo.a, no files are pulled out from foo.a, and because the
linker forgets about foo.a after visiting, it can't resolve
undefined symbols that could have been resolved otherwise.
That lld accepts more relaxed form means (besides it makes more
sense) that you can accidentally write a command line or a build
file that works only with lld, even if you have a plan to
distribute it to wider users who may be using GNU linkers. With
--check-library-dependency, you can detect a library order that
doesn't work with other Unix linkers.
The option is also useful to detect cyclic dependencies between
static archives. Again, lld accepts
ld.lld foo.a bar.a
even if foo.a and bar.a depend on each other. With --warn-backrefs
it is handled as an error.
Here is how the option works. We assign a group ID to each file. A
file with a smaller group ID can pull out object files from an
archive file with an equal or greater group ID. Otherwise, it is a
reverse dependency and an error.
A file outside --{start,end}-group gets a fresh ID when
instantiated. All files within the same --{start,end}-group get the
same group ID. E.g.
ld.lld A B --start-group C D --end-group E
A and B form group 0, C, D and their member object files form group
1, and E forms group 2. I think that you can see how this group
assignment rule simulates the traditional linker's semantics.

Currently LLD sets OutSecOff in addSection for input sections.
That is a fake offset (just a rude approximation to remember the order),
used for sorting SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
(see resolveShfLinkOrder, compareByFilePosition).
There are 2 problems with such approach:
1. We currently change and reuse Size field as a value assigned. Changing size is
not good because leads to bugs. Currently, SIZEOF(.bss) for empty .bss returns 2
because we add two empty synthetic sections and increase size twice by 1.
(See PR37011: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37011)
2. Such approach simply does not work when --symbol-ordering-file is involved,
because processing of the ordering file might break the initial section order.
This fixes PR37011.

Some platforms interpret the pound sign as one character. Platforms that use
Python 2.x actually interpret it as two characters because in the Python 2.x

Currently there are a few odd things about the warning about symbols
that cannot be ordered. This patch fixes:
* When there is an undefined symbol that resolves to a shared file, we
were printing the location of the undefined reference.
* If there are multiple comdats, we were reporting them all.

Previously, "size" column is 9 characters long which is too long
at least for 32-bit (because at maximum it needs 8 columns). This
patch make it one column shorter than before. That's also a reasonable
default for 64-bit.
