This is PR35740 which now crashes
because we remove unused synthetic sections incorrectly.
We can keep input section description and corresponding output
section live even if it must be empty and dead.
This results in a crash because SHF_LINK_ORDER handling code
tries to access first section which is nullptr in this case.
Patch fixes the issue.

The size of an OutputSection is calculated early, to aid handling of compressed
debug sections. However, subsequent to this point, unused synthetic sections are
removed. In the event that an OutputSection, from which such an InputSection is
removed, is still required (e.g. because it has a symbol assignment), and no longer
has any InputSections, dot assignments, or BYTE()-family directives, the size
member is never updated when processing the commands. If the removed InputSection
had a non-zero size (such as a .got.plt section), the section ends up with the
wrong size in the output.
The fix is to reset the OutputSection size prior to processing the linker script
commands relating to that OutputSection. This ensures that the size is correct even
in the above situation.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of developers misusing OutputSection Size and
InputSection OutSecOff, they are set to simply the number of InputSections in an
OutputSection, and the corresponding index respectively. We cannot completely
stop using them, due to SHF_LINK_ORDER sections requiring them.
Compressed debug sections also require the full size. This is now calculated in
maybeCompress for these kinds of sections.

Script commands are processed before unused synthetic sections are
removed. Therefore, if a linker script matches one of these sections
it'll get emitted as an empty output section because the logic for
removing unused synthetic sections ignores script commands which
could have already matched and captured one of these sections. This
patch fixes that by also removing the unused synthetic sections from
the script commands.
