finalizeSynthetic(in.symTab) calls sortSymTabSymbols() to order local
symbols before non-local symbols.
The newly added tests ensure that thunk symbols are added before
finalizeSynthetic(in.symTab), otherwise .symtab would be out of order.

Many Operand's are not annotated as OPERAND_PCREL.
They are not affected (e.g. `b .+67108860`). I plan to fix them in future patches.
Modified test/tools/llvm-objdump/ELF/PowerPC/branch-offset.s to test
address space wraparound for powerpc32 and powerpc64.

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`
line and causes the next `CHECK-NEXT:` to fail.
```
Disassembly of section .foo:
0000000000001634 .foo:

ThunkSection contains 4-byte instructions on all targets that use
thunks. Thunks should not be used in any performance sensitive places,
and locality/cache line/instruction fetching arguments should not apply.
We use 16 bytes as preferred function alignments for modern PowerPC cores.
In any case, 8 is not optimal.

Fixes PPC64 part of PR40438
// clang -target ppc64le -c a.cc
// .text.unlikely may be placed in a separate output section (via -z keep-text-section-prefix)
// The distance between bar in .text.unlikely and foo in .text may be larger than 32MiB.
static void foo() {}
__attribute__((section(".text.unlikely"))) static int bar() { foo(); return 0; }
__attribute__((used)) static int dummy = bar();
This patch makes such thunks with addends work for PPC64.
AArch64: .text -> `__AArch64ADRPThunk_ (adrp x16, ...; add x16, x16, ...; br x16)` -> target
PPC64: .text -> `__long_branch_ (addis 12, 2, ...; ld 12, ...(12); mtctr 12; bctr)` -> target
AArch64 can leverage ADRP to jump to the target directly, but PPC64
needs to load an address from .branch_lt . Before Power ISA v3.0, the
PC-relative ADDPCIS was not available. .branch_lt was invented to work
around the limitation.
Symbol::ppc64BranchltIndex is replaced by
PPC64LongBranchTargetSection::entry_index which take addends into
consideration.
The tests are rewritten: ppc64-long-branch.s tests -no-pie and
ppc64-long-branch-pi.s tests -pie and -shared.

This change affects the non-linker script case (precisely, when the
`SECTIONS` command is not used). It deletes 3 alignments at PT_LOAD
boundaries for the default case: the size of a powerpc64 binary can be
decreased by at most 192kb. The technique can be ported to other
targets.
Let me demonstrate the idea with a maxPageSize=65536 example:
When assigning the address to the first output section of a new PT_LOAD,
if the end p_vaddr of the previous PT_LOAD is 0x10020, we advance to
the next multiple of maxPageSize: 0x20000. The new PT_LOAD will thus
have p_vaddr=0x20000. Because p_offset and p_vaddr are congruent modulo
maxPageSize, p_offset will be 0x20000, leaving a p_offset gap [0x10020,
0x20000) in the output.
Alternatively, if we advance to 0x20020, the new PT_LOAD will have
p_vaddr=0x20020. We can pick either 0x10020 or 0x20020 for p_offset!
Obviously 0x10020 is the choice because it leaves no gap. At runtime,
p_vaddr will be rounded down by pagesize (65536 if
pagesize=maxPageSize). This PT_LOAD will load additional initial
contents from p_offset ranges [0x10000,0x10020), which will also be
loaded by the previous PT_LOAD. This is fine if -z noseparate-code is in
effect or if we are not transiting between executable and non-executable
segments.
ld.bfd -z noseparate-code leverages this technique to keep output small.
This patch implements the technique in lld, which is mostly effective on
targets with large defaultMaxPageSize (AArch64/MIPS/PPC: 65536). The 3
removed alignments can save almost 3*65536 bytes.
Two places that rely on p_vaddr%pagesize = 0 have to be updated.
1) We used to round p_memsz(PT_GNU_RELRO) up to commonPageSize (defaults
to 4096 on all targets). Now p_vaddr%commonPageSize may be non-zero.
The updated formula takes account of that factor.
2) Our TP offsets formulae are only correct if p_vaddr%p_align = 0.
Fix them. See the updated comments in InputSection.cpp for details.
On targets that we enable the technique (only PPC64 now),
we can potentially make `p_vaddr(PT_TLS)%p_align(PT_TLS) != 0`
if `sh_addralign(.tdata) < sh_addralign(.tbss)`
This exposes many problems in ld.so implementations, especially the
offsets of dynamic TLS blocks. Known issues:
FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT rtld-elf (i386/amd64/powerpc/arm64)
glibc (HEAD) i386 and x86_64 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24606
musl<=1.1.22 on TLS Variant I architectures (aarch64/powerpc64/...)
So, force p_vaddr%p_align = 0 by rounding dot up to p_align(PT_TLS).
The technique will be enabled (with updated tests) for other targets in
subsequent patches.

Various improvement:
Some offsets in disassembly are incorrect after several layout adjustment. Fix them.
llvm-objdump -D should not be used. -D dumps unrelated non-text sections. Replace them with llvm-objdump -d, llvm-readelf -x, etc
Many llvm-objdump -d tests use {{.*}} . Add the option --no-show-raw-insn to avoid check hex bytes.
ppc64-long-branch.s does not need a shared object. Delete it.
Make ppc64-ifunc.s check 2 ifuncs.

Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

On PowerPC64, when a function call offset is too large to encode in a call
instruction the address is stored in a table in the data segment. A thunk is
used to load the branch target address from the table relative to the
TOC-pointer and indirectly branch to the callee. When linking position-dependent
code the addresses are stored directly in the table, for position-independent
code the table is allocated and filled in at load time by the dynamic linker.
For position-independent code the branch targets could have gone in the .got.plt
but using the .branch_lt section for both position dependent and position
independent binaries keeps it consitent and helps keep this PPC64 specific logic
seperated from the target-independent code handling the .got.plt.
