Summary:
This assumes all symbols are <4GB long, so we can store them as a 32-bit
integer. This reorders the fields so the length appears first, packing
with the other bitfield data in the base Symbol object.
This saved 70MB / 3.60% of heap allocations when linking
browser_tests.exe with no PDB. It's not much as a percentage, but worth
doing. I didn't do performance measurements, I don't think it will be
measurable in time.

When faced with command line options such as "crtbegin.o appmain.o
-lsomelib crtend.o", GNU ld pulls in all necessary object files from
somelib before proceeding to crtend.o.
LLD operates differently, only loading object files from any
referenced static libraries after processing all input object files.
This uses a similar hack as in the ELF linker. Here, it moves crtend.o
to the end of the vector of object files. This makes sure that
terminator chunks for sections such as .eh_frame gets ordered last,
fixing DWARF exception handling for libgcc and gcc's crtend.o.

Reorder the fields in both to use padding more efficiently, and add more
comments on the purpose of the fields.
Replace `std::vector<SectionChunk*> AssociativeChildren` with a
singly-linked list. This avoids the separate vector allocation to list
associative children, and shrinks the 3 pointers used for the typically

browser_tests.exe with NO PDB by 13.10%, going from 2,248,728 KB to
1,954,071 KB of heap. These numbers exclude memory mapped files, which
are of course a significant factor in LLD's memory usage.

We introduce a new class hierarchy for debug types merging (in DebugTypes.h). The end-goal is to parallelize the type merging - please see the plan in D59226.
Previously, dependency discovery was done on the fly, much later, during the type merging loop. Unfortunately, parallelizing the type merging requires the dependencies to be merged in first, before any dependent ObjFile, thus this early discovery.
The overall intention for this path is to discover debug information dependencies at a much earlier stage, when processing input files. Currently, two types of dependency are supported: PDB type servers (when compiling with MSVC /Zi) and precompiled headers OBJs (when compiling with MSVC /Yc and /Yu). Once discovered, an explicit link is added into the dependent ObjFile, through the new debug types class hierarchy introduced in DebugTypes.h.

Summary:
This avoids allocating O(#relocs) of intermediate data for each section
when range extension thunks aren't needed for that section. This also
removes a std::vector from SectionChunk, which further reduces its size.
Instead, this change adds the range extension thunk symbols to the
object files that contain sections that need extension thunks. By adding
them to the symbol table of the parent object, that means they now have
a symbol table index. Then we can then modify the original relocation,
after copying it to read-write memory, to use the new symbol table
index.
This makes linking browser_tests.exe with no PDB 10.46% faster, moving
it from 11.364s to 10.288s averaged over five runs.

Turns out nobody understands what "conflicting comdat type" is supposed to
mean, so just emit a regular "duplicate symbol" error and move the comdat
selection information into /verbose output.
This also fixes a problem where the error output would depend on the order of
.obj files passed. Before this patch:
- If passed `one_only.obj discard.obj`, lld-link would only err "conflicting
comdat type"
- If passed `discard.obj one_only.obj`, lld-link would err "conflicting comdat
type" and then "duplicate symbol"
Now lld-link only errs "duplicate symbol" in both cases.
I considered adding a "Detail" parameter to reportDuplicate() that's printed in
parens at the end of the "duplicate symbol" diag if present, and then put the
comdat selection mismatch details there, but since users don't know what it's
supposed to mean decided against it. I also considered special-casing the
Detail message for one_only/discard mismatches, which in practice means
"function defined as inline in TU 1 but as out-of-line in TU 2", but I wasn't
sure how useful it is so I omitted that too.

In a previous patch, I made changes so that PDBs which were
generated on non-Windows platforms contained sensical paths
for the host. While this is an esoteric use case, we need
it to be supported for certain cross compilation scenarios
especially with LLDB, which can debug things on non-Windows
platforms.
However, this regressed a case where you specify /PDBSOURCEPATH
and use a windows-style path. Previously, we would still remove
dots and canonicalize slashes to backslashes, but since my
change intentionally tried to support non-backslash paths, this
was broken.
This patch fixes the situation by trying to guess which path
style the user is specifying when /PDBSOURCEPATH is passed.
It is intentionally conservative, erring on the side of a
Windows path style unless absolutely certain. All dots are
removed and slashes canonicalized to whatever the deduced
path style is after appending the file path to the /PDBSOURCEPATH
argument.

For MinGW, unique partial sections are much more common, e.g.
comdat functions get sections named e.g. text$symbol.
A moderate sized example of this contains over 200K Chunks
which create 174K unique PartialSections. Prior to SVN r352928
(D57574), linking this took around 1,5 seconds for me, while
it afterwards takes around 13 minutes. After this patch, the
linking time is back to what it was before.
The std::find_if in findPartialSection will do a linear scan of
the whole container until a match is found. To use something like
binary_search or the std::set container's own methods, we'd need
to already have a PartialSection*.
Reinstate a proper map instead of having a set with a custom sorting

cl.exe and clang-cl.exe put vftables in a 'discard' comdat when building with
RTTI disabled (/GR-) but in a 'largest' comdat when building with RTTI enabled.
To be able to link /GR- code with /GR code, lld-link needs to accept comdats
that have this type of comdat selection conflict.
For example, static libraries in the Visual Studio standard library are built
with /GR, and without this it's impossible to build client code with /GR- and
still link to the standard library.
link.exe also accepts merging 'discard' with 'largest', and it accepts merging
'largest' with any other selection type. lld-link is still a bit stricter since
it only allows merging 'largest' with 'discard' for symmetry.

LLD used to handle comdats as if the selection field was always set to
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY. This means for obj files produced by `cl /Gy`, LLD
would never report a duplicate symbol error.
This change:
- adds validation for the Selection field (should make no difference in
practice for compiler-generated obj inputs)
- rejects comdats that have different Selection fields in different obj files
(likewise). This is a bit more strict but also more self-consistent thank
link.exe (see comment in code)
- implements handling for all the selection kinds
In practice, compilers only generate comdats with
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES (LLD now produces duplicate symbol errors for
these), IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY (no behavior change), and
IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST (for RTTI data; here LLD should no longer create
broken executables when linking some TUs with RTTI enabled and some with it
disabled – but see below).
The implementation of `IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST` is incomplete: If one
SELECT_LARGEST comdat replaces an earlier one, the comdat symbol is replaced
correctly, but the old section stays loaded and if /opt:ref is disabled (via
/opt:noref or /debug) it's still written to the output. That's not ideal, but
better than the current treatment of just picking any one of those comdats. I
hope to fix this better later.

Currently, if an associative comdat appears after the comdat it's associated
with it's processed immediately, else it's deferred until the end of the object
file. I found this confusing to think about while working on PR40094, so this
makes it so that associated comdats are always processed at the end of the
object file. This seems to be perf-neutral and simpler.
Now there's a natural place to reject the associated comdats referring to later
associated comdats (associated comdats referring to associated comdats is
invalid per COFF spec) that, so reject those. (A later patch will reject
associated comdats referring to earlier comdats.)

LLD's performance on PGO instrumented Windows binaries was still not
great even with the fix in D56955; out of the 2m41s linker runtime,
around 2 minutes were still being spent in ICF. I looked into this more
closely and discovered that the vast majority of the runtime was being
spent segregating .pdata sections with the following relocation chain:
.pdata -> identical .text -> unique PGO counter (not eligible for ICF)
This patch causes us to perform 2 rounds of relocation hash
propagation, which allows the hash for the .pdata sections to
incorporate the identifier from the PGO counter. With that, the amount
of time spent in ICF was reduced to about 2 seconds. I also found that
the same change led to a significant ICF performance improvement in a
regular release build of Chromium's chrome_child.dll, where ICF time
was reduced from around 1s to around 700ms.
With the same change applied to the ELF linker, median of 100 runs
for lld-speed-test/chrome reduced from 4.53s to 4.45s on my machine.
I also experimented with increasing the number of propagation rounds
further, but I did not observe any further significant performance
improvements linking Chromium or Firefox.

It turns out that sections in PGO instrumented object files on Windows
contain a large number of relocations pointing to themselves. With
r347429 this can cause many sections to receive the same hash (usually
zero) as a result of a section's hash being xor'ed with itself.
This patch causes the COFF and ELF linkers to avoid this problem
by adding the hash of the relocated section instead of xor'ing it.
On my machine this causes the regressing test case
provided by Mozilla to terminate in 2m41s.
