A SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table is similar to a .gcc_except_table in
a section group. The associated text section is responsible for retaining it.
LLD still does not support GC of non-group non-SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table -
but that is not necessary because we can teach the compiler to set SHF_LINK_ORDER.
The current diagnostic has confused users. The new wording is adapted from one suggested by Ian Lance Taylor.

binutils 2.36 introduced the new section flag SHF_GNU_RETAIN (for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD) to mark a sections as a GC root. Several LLVM side toolchain
folks (including me) were involved in the design process of SHF_GNU_RETAIN and
were happy with this proposal.
Currently GNU ld only respects SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD object files
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27282). GNU ld sets EI_OSABI
to ELFOSABI_GNU for relocatable output
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27091). In practice the single
value EI_OSABI is neither a good indicator for object file compatibility, nor a
useful mechanism marking used ELF extensions.
For input, we respect SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics even for ELFOSABI_NONE object
files. This is compatible with how LLD and GNU ld handle (mildly useful) STT_GNU_IFUNC
/ (emitted by GCC, considered misfeature by some folks) STB_GNU_UNIQUE input.
(As of LLVM 12.0.0, the integrated assembler does not set ELFOSABI_GNU for
STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE).
Arguably STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE probably need indicators in object files
but SHF_GNU_RETAIN is more likely accepted by more OSABI platforms.
For output, we take a step further than GNU ld: we don't promote ELFOSABI_NONE
to ELFOSABI_GNU for all output.

R_386_GOTOFF (`S + A - GOT`) is one of the `isStaticLinkTimeConstant` relocation

The option catches incompatibility between `R_*_IRELATIVE` and DT_TEXTREL/DF_TEXTREL

If the object file defining foo has foo references, we cannot easily distinguish
the case from cases where foo is not referenced (we haven't scanned
relocations). Retain `__wrap_foo` because we choose to wrap sym references

For x86-64, D33100 added a diagnostic for local-exec TLS relocations referencing a preemptible symbol.
This patch generalizes it to non-preemptible symbols (see `-Bsymbolic` in `tls.s`)
on all targets.
Local-exec TLS relocations resolve to offsets relative to a fixed point within
the static TLS block, which are only meaningful for the executable.
With this change, `clang -fpic -shared -fuse-ld=bfd a.c` on the following example will be flagged for AArch64/ARM/i386/x86-64/RISC-V
```
static __attribute__((tls_model("local-exec"))) __thread long TlsVar = 42;
long bump() { return ++TlsVar; }

diagnostics, but aarch64 and ppc64 do not error.

Alternative to D91611.
The TLS General Dynamic/Local Dynamic code sequences need to mark
`__tls_get_addr` with R_PPC64_TLSGD or R_PPC64_TLSLD, e.g.
```
addis r3, r2, x@got@tlsgd@ha # R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_HA
addi r3, r3, x@got@tlsgd@l # R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_LO
bl __tls_get_addr(x@tlsgd) # R_PPC64_TLSGD followed by R_PPC64_REL24
nop
```
However, there are two deviations form the above:
1. direct call to `__tls_get_addr`. This is essential to implement ld.so in glibc/musl/FreeBSD.
```
bl __tls_get_addr
nop
```
This is only used in a -shared link, and thus not subject to the GD/LD to IE/LE
relaxation issue below.
2. Missing R_PPC64_TLSGD/R_PPC64_TLSGD for compiler generated TLS references
According to Stefan Pintille, "In the early days of the transition from the
ELFv1 ABI that is used for big endian PowerPC Linux distributions to the ELFv2
ABI that is used for little endian PowerPC Linux distributions, there was some
ambiguity in the specification of the relocations for TLS. The GNU linker has
implemented support for correct handling of calls to __tls_get_addr with a
missing relocation. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the IBM XL compiler
did not handle TLS according to the updated ABI until we tried linking XL
compiled libraries with LLD."
In short, LLD needs to work around the old IBM XL compiler issue.
Otherwise, if the object file is linked in -no-pie or -pie mode,
the result will be incorrect because the 4 instructions are partially
rewritten (the latter 2 are not changed).
Work around the compiler bug by disable General Dynamic/Local Dynamic to
Initial Exec/Local Exec relaxation. Note, we also disable Initial Exec
to Local Exec relaxation for implementation simplicity, though technically it can be kept.
ppc64-tls-missing-gdld.s demonstrates the updated behavior.

If an object file has an undefined foo@v1, we emit a dynamic symbol foo.
This is incorrect if at runtime a shared object provides the non-default version foo@v1

GNU ld issues an error for this case, even if foo@v1 is undefined weak
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3351). This behavior makes
sense because to represent an undefined foo@v1, we have to construct a Verneed

Verneed entry (Verneed::vn_file is unavailable).

Note, foo@@v1 must be defined (the assembler errors if attempting to
create an undefined foo@@v1).
For defined foo@@v1 in a shared object, we call `SymbolTable::addSymbol` twice,
one for foo and the other for foo@v1. We don't do the same for object files, so
foo@@v1 defined in one object file incorrectly does not resolve a foo@v1
reference in another object file.
This patch fixes the issue by reusing the --wrap code to redirect symbols in
object files. This has to be done after processing input files because
foo and foo@v1 are two separate symbols if we haven't seen foo@@v1.
