If a binary is stripped, which can remove discardable sections (except
for the .reloc section, which also is marked as discardable as it isn't
loaded at runtime, only read by the loader), the .reloc section should
be first of them, in order not to create gaps in the image.
Previously, binaries with relocations were broken if they were stripped
by GNU binutils strip. Trying to execute such binaries produces an error
about "xx is not a valid win32 application".
This fixes GNU binutils bug 23348.
Prior to SVN r329370 (which didn't intend to have functional changes),
the code for moving discardable sections to the end didn't clearly
express how other discardable sections should be ordered compared to
.reloc, but the change retained the exact same end result as before.
After SVN r329370, the code (and comments) more clearly indicate that
it tries to make the .reloc section the absolutely last one; this patch
changes that.
This matches how GNU binutils ld sorts .reloc compared to dwarf debug
info sections.

With this set, we retain the symbol table, but skip the actual debug
information.
This is meant to be used by the MinGW frontend.

This was originally reverted because of some non-deterministic
failures on certain buildbots. Luckily ASAN eventually caught
this as a stack-use-after-scope, so the fix is included in
this patch.

This is causing failures on linux bots with an invalid stream
read. It doesn't repro in any configuration on Windows, so
reverting until I have a chance to investigate on Linux.

This allows us to use yaml2obj and obj2yaml to round-trip CodeView
symbol and type information without having to manually specify the bytes
of the section. This makes for much easier to maintain tests. See the
tests under lld/COFF in this patch for example. Before they just said
SectionData: <blob> whereas now we can use meaningful record
descriptions. Note that it still supports the SectionData yaml field,
which could be useful for initializing a section to invalid bytes for
testing, for example.

We want to convince the NT loader not to map these sections into memory.
A good first step is to move them to the end of the executable.
