Summary:
That unless the user requested an output object (--lto-obj-path), the an
unused empty combined module is not emitted.
This changed is helpful for some target (ex. RISCV-V) which encoded the
ABI info in IR module flags (target-abi). Empty unused module has no ABI
info so the linker would get the linking error during merging
incompatible ABIs.

Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:
-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data

This should be correctly implied by the linker.
This also makes the tests slightly easier to maintain and compare
with the equivalent tests under for other platforms.

Currently symbols assigned or created by linkerscript are not processed early
enough. As a result it is not possible to version them or assign any other flags/properties.
Patch creates Defined symbols for -defsym and linkerscript symbols early,
so that issue from above can be addressed.
It is based on Rafael Espindola's version of D38239 patch.
Fixes PR34121.

It was introduced by me in D37059.
Comment was saying that Weak binding is incorrect
for 'foo' symbol and that should be true for symbol in final output.
But at that place LTO temporarily file was checked,
where Weak binding for 'foo' is fine as LTO changes binding for
'LinkerRedefined' symbols internally to prevent IPO.
Binding for 'foo' in final output is correctly set to Global
and that tested just few lines below in the same testcase.

Previously when BC file had global variable that was accessed from script,
it was optimized away or inlined by IPO.
In this patch I add symbols at left side of assignment expression as LinkerRedefined,
what prevents optimization for them.
