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

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.

This is https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37538,
Currently, LLD may set both sh_link and sh_info for
.rela.plt section to zero when we have only .rela.iplt section part used.
ELF spec (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/816-1386/chapter6-94076/index.html)
says that for SHT_REL and SHT_RELA, sh_link references the associated symbol table
and sh_info the "section to which the relocation applies."
When we set the sh_link field, for the regular case we use the .dynsym index.
For .rela.iplt sections, it is unclear what is the associated symbol table,
because R_*_RELATIVE relocations do not use symbol names and we might have no
.dynsym section at all so this patch uses .symtab section index.

Its PR34712,
GNU linkers recently changed default values to "both" of "sysv".
Patch do the same for all targets except MIPS, where .gnu.hash
section is not yet supported.

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.

Align to the large page size (known as a superpage or huge page).
FreeBSD automatically promotes large, superpage-aligned allocations.

Previously, we added strings from DynamicSection::finalize().
It was a bit tricky because finalize() is supposed to fix the final
size of the section, but adding new strings would change the size of
.dynstr section. So there was a dependency between finalize functions
of .dynamic and .dynstr.
However, I noticed that we can elimiante the dependency by simply
add strings early; we don't have to do that in finalize() but can do
from DynamicSection's ctor.
This patch defines a new function, DynamicSection::addEntries, to
add .dynamic entries that doesn't depend on other sections.

This avoids the need to have reserve and addString in sync.
We avoid hashing the global symbols again. This means that we don't
merge a global symbol that has the same name as some other string, but
that doesn't seem very common. The string table size is the same in
clang an scylladb with or without hashing global symbols again.

Before this patch sections that go after relro sequence were placed at
the same memory page with relro ones. It caused segmentation fault on
freebsd.
Fixes PR25790.
Patch by George Rimar with some tweaks by myself.
