This adds support for:
* Uniquing CIEs
* Dropping FDEs that point to dropped sections
It drops 657 488 bytes from the .eh_frame of a Release+Asserts clang.
The link time impact is smallish. Linking clang with a Release+Asserts
lld goes from 0.488064805 seconds to 0.504763060 seconds (1.034 X slower).

leaq symbol@tlsld(%rip), %rdi
call __tls_get_addr@plt
symbol@tlsld (R_X86_64_TLSLD) instructs the linker to generate a tls_index entry (two GOT slots) in the GOT for the entire module (shared object or executable) with an offset of 0. The symbol for this GOT entry doesn't matter (as long as it's either local to the module or null), and gold doesn't put a symbol in the dynamic R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 relocation for the GOT entry.
All other platforms defined in http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf except for Itanium use a similar model where global and local dynamic GOT entries take up 2 contiguous GOT slots, so we can handle this in a unified manner if we don't care about Itanium.
While scanning relocations we need to identify local dynamic relocations and generate a single tls_index entry in the GOT for the module and store the address of it somewhere so we can later statically resolve the offset for R_X86_64_TLSLD relocations. We also need to generate a R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 relocation in the RelaDyn relocation section.
This implementation is a bit hacky. It side steps the issue of GotSection and RelocationSection only handling SymbolBody entries by relying on a specific relocation type. The alternative to this seemed to be completely rewriting how GotSection and RelocationSection work, or using a different hacky signaling method.

relocateOne is a function to apply a relocation. Previously, that
function took a pointer to Elf_Rel or Elf_Rela in addition to other
information that can be derived from the relocation entry. This patch
simplifies the parameter list. The new parameters, P or SA, are used
in the ELF spec to describe each relocation. These names make
relocateOne look like a mechanical, direct translation of the ELF spec.

Given the name, it is natural for this function to compute the full target.
This will simplify SHF_MERGE handling by allowing getLocalRelTarget to
centralize the addend logic.

If one file is MIPS64EL, all files are MIPS64EL, and vice versa.
We do not have to look up MIPS-ness for each file. Currently we
do not support 64-bit MIPS, so the config value is always false.

R_PPC64_TOC does not have an associated symbol, but does have a non-zero VA
that target-specific code must compute using some non-trivial rule. We
handled this as a special case in PPC64TargetInfo::relocateOne, where
we knew to write this special address, but that did not work when creating shared
libraries. The special TOC address needs to be the subject of a
R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocation, and so we also need to know how to encode this
special address in the addend of that relocation.
Thus, some target-specific logic is necessary when creating R_PPC64_RELATIVE as
well. To solve this problem, we teach getLocalRelTarget to handle R_PPC64_TOC
as a special case. This allows us to remove the special case in
PPC64TargetInfo::relocateOne (simplifying code there), and naturally allows the
existing logic to do the right thing when creating associated R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations for shared libraries.

When a relocation points to a SHF_MERGE section, the addend has special meaning.
It should be used to find what in the section the relocation points to. It
should not be added to the output position.
Centralizing it means that the above rule will be implemented once, not once
per target.

Under the PPC64 ELF ABI, functions that might call into other modules (and,
thus, need to load a different TOC base value into %r2), need to restore the
old value after the call. The old value is saved by the .plt code, and the
caller only needs to include a nop instruction after the call, which the linker
will transform into a TOC restore if necessary.
In order to do this the relocation handler needs two things:
1. It needs to know whether the call instruction it is modifying is targeting
a .plt stub that will load a new TOC base value (necessitating a restore after
the call).
2. It needs to know where the buffer ends, so that it does not accidentally
run off the end of the buffer when looking for the 'nop' instruction after the
call.
Given these two pieces of information, we can insert the restore instruction in
place of the following nop when necessary.

This patch adds AsNeeded and IsUsed bool fields to SharedFile. AsNeeded bit
is set if the DSO is enclosed with --as-needed and --no-as-needed. IsUsed
bit is off by default. When we adds a symbol to the symbol table for dynamic
linking, we set its SharedFile's IsUsed bit.
If AsNeeded is set but IsUsed is not set, we don't want to write that
file's SO name to DT_NEEDED field.

Previously, output sections that are handled specially by the linker
(e.g. PLT or GOT) were created by Writer and passed to other classes
that need them. The problem was that because these special sections
are required by so many classes, the plumbing work became too much
burden.
This patch is to simply make them accessible from anywhere in the
linker to eliminate the plumbing work once and for all.

This is a case that requires --start-group --end-group with regular ELF
linkers. Fortunately it is still possible to handle it with lazy symbols without
taking a second look at archives.
Thanks to Michael Spencer for the bug report.

This is just enough to get PLT working on 32 bit x86.
The idea behind using a virtual interface is that it should be easy to
convert any of the functions to template parameters if any turns out to be
performance critical.
