Add a new file AArch64ErrataFix.cpp that implements the logic to scan for
the Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419. This involves finding all the executable
code, disassembling the instructions that might trigger the erratum and
reporting a message if the sequence is detected.
At this stage we do not attempt to fix the erratum, this functionality
will be added in a later patch. See D36749 for proposal.

Previously, lld exited with an error status if the only option given to
the command was -v. GNU linkers gracefully exit in that case. This patch
makes lld behave like GNU.
Note that even with this patch, lld's -v and --version options behave
slightly differently than GNU linkers' counterparts. For example,
if you run `ld.bfd -v -v`, the version string is printed out twice.
But that is an edge case that I don't think we need to take care of.

Currently lld can produce file that break that requirement.

lld assumes some ARM features that are not available in all Arm
processors. In particular:
- The blx instruction present for interworking.
- The movt/movw instructions are used in Thunks.
- The J1=1 J2=1 encoding of branch immediates to improve Thumb wide
branch range are assumed to be present.
This patch reads the ARM Attributes section to check for the
architecture the object file was compiled with. If none of the objects
have an architecture that supports either of these features a warning
will be given. This is most likely to affect armv6 as used in the first
Raspberry Pi.

We used to handle both -defsym and -wrap using the same set of functions

SymbolBody and Symbol were separated classes due to a historical reason.
Symbol used to be a pointer to a SymbolBody, and the relationship
between Symbol and SymbolBody was n:1.
r2681780 changed that. Since that patch, SymbolBody and Symbol are
allocated next to each other to improve memory locality, and they have
1:1 relationship now. So, the separation of Symbol and SymbolBody no
longer makes sense.
This patch merges them into one class. In order to avoid updating too
many places, I chose SymbolBody as a unified name. I'll rename it Symbol
in a follow-up patch.

Summary:
**Problem**
`--exclude-libs` does not work for static libraries affected by the `--whole-archive` option.
**Description**
`--exclude-libs` creates a list of static library paths and does library lookups in this list.
`--whole-archive` splits the static libraries that follow it into separate objects. As a result, lld no longer sees static libraries among linked files and does no `--exclude-libs` lookups.
**Solution**
The proposed solution is to make `--exclude-libs` consider object files too. When lld finds an object file it checks whether this file originates from an archive and, if so, looks the archive up in the `--exclude-libs` list.

The Android relocation packing format is a more compact
format for dynamic relocations in executables and DSOs
that is based on delta encoding and SLEBs. An overview
of the format can be found in the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/tools/relocation_packer/src/delta_encoder.h
This patch implements relocation packing using that format.
This implementation uses a more intelligent algorithm for compressing
relative relocations than Android's own relocation packer. As a
result it can generally create smaller relocation sections than
that packer. If I link Chromium for Android targeting ARM32 I get a
.rel.dyn of size 174693 bytes, as compared to 371832 bytes with gold
and the Android packer.

ScriptConfiguration was a class to contain parsed results of
linker scripts. LinkerScript is a class to interpret it.
That ditinction was needed because we haven't instantiated
LinkerScript early (because, IIRC, LinkerScript class was a
ELFT template function). So, when we parse linker scripts,
we couldn't directly store the result to a LinkerScript instance.
Now, that limitation is gone. We instantiate LinkerScript
at the very beginning of our main function. We can directly
store parse results to a LinkerScript instance.

The condition whether a section is alive or not by default
is becoming increasingly complex, so the decision of garbage
collection is spreading over InputSection.h and MarkLive.cpp,
which is not a good state.
This moves the code to MarkLive.cpp, to keep the file the central
place to make decisions about garbage collection.

When parsing linker scripts, LLD previously started with a '.' value of 0,
regardless of the internal default image base for the target, and regardless of
switches such as --image-base. It seems reasonable to use a different image base
value when using linker scripts and --image-base is specified, since otherwise the
switch has no effect. This change does this, as well as removing unnecessary
initialisation of Dot where it is not used.
The default image base should not be used when processing linker
scripts, because this will change the behaviour for existing linker script users,
and potentially result in invalid output being produced, as a subsequent assignment
to Dot could move the location counter backwards. Instead, we maintain the existing
behaviour of starting from 0 if --image-base is not specified.

I think it is not defined what would happen to detached threads
when the main thread tries to exit. That means it was not guaranteed
that unlinkAsync correctly removes a temporary file. It was also
reported that this unlinkAsync caused a crash on Windows.
This patch adds a few new functions so that the main thread always
waits for non-main threads before exitting.
I don't actually like the new two functions, runBackground and
waitForBackgroundThreads, because it looks like it is a bit
overdesigned. After all, what we are doing with these functions
is to just remove a file.
An alternative would be to do fork(2) and make the child process
remove a file asynchronously. However, it has its own problems.
Correctly forking and reclaiming a resource using waitpid(2) is not
doable unless we know our process-wide settings (such as signal mask),
but we can't make any assumption on it when lld is embedded to other
process. So I chose to stick with threads instead of multi-processes.

Currently LLD calls the `isMicroMips` routine to determine type of PLT entries
needs to be generated: regular or microMIPS. This routine checks ELF
header flags in the `FirstObj` to retrieve type of linked object files.
So if the first file does not contain microMIPS code, LLD will generate
PLT entries with regular (non-microMIPS) code only.
Ideally, if a PLT entry is referenced by microMIPS code only this entry
should contain microMIPS code, if a PLT entry is referenced by regular
code this entry should contain regular code. In a "mixed" case the PLT
entry can be either microMIPS or regular, but each "cross-mode-call" has
additional cost.
It's rather difficult to implement this ideal solution. But we can
assume that if there is an input object file with microMIPS code, the
most part of the code is microMIPS too. So we need to deduce type of PLT
entries based on finally calculated ELF header flags and do not check
only the first input object file.
This change implements this.
- The `getMipsEFlags` renamed to the `calcMipsEFlags`. The function
called from the `LinkerDriver::link`. Result is stored in
the Configuration::MipsEFlags field.
- The `isMicroMips` and `isMipsR6` routines access the `MipsEFlags`
field to get and check calculated ELF flags.
- New types of PLT records created when necessary.

This fixes pr34301.
As the bug points out, we want to keep some relocations with undefined
weak symbols. This means that we cannot always claim that these
symbols are not preemptible as we do now.
Unfortunately, we cannot also just always claim that they are
preemptible. Doing so would, for example, cause us to try to create a
plt entry when we don't even have a dynamic symbol table.
What almost works is to say that weak undefined symbols are
preemptible if and only if we have a dynamic symbol table. Almost
because we don't want to fail the build trying to create a copy
relocation to a weak undefined.
