Also adds support for live_support sections, no_dead_strip sections,
.no_dead_strip symbols.
Chromium Framework 345MB unstripped -> 250MB stripped
(vs 290MB unstripped -> 236M stripped with ld64).
Doing dead stripping is a bit faster than not, because so much less
data needs to be processed:
% ministat lld_*
x lld_nostrip.txt
+ lld_strip.txt
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 10 3.929414 4.07692 4.0269079 4.0089678 0.044214794
+ 10 3.8129408 3.9025559 3.8670411 3.8642573 0.024779651
Difference at 95.0% confidence

(Student's t, pooled s = 0.0358398)
This interacts with many parts of the linker. I tried to add test coverage
for all added `isLive()` checks, so that some test will fail if any of them
is removed. I checked that the test expectations for the most part match
ld64's behavior (except for live-support-iterations.s, see the comment
in the test). Interacts with:
- debug info
- export tries
- import opcodes
- flags like -exported_symbol(s_list)
- -U / dynamic_lookup
- mod_init_funcs, mod_term_funcs
- weak symbol handling
- unwind info
- stubs
- map files
- -sectcreate
- undefined, dylib, common, defined (both absolute and normal) symbols
It's possible it interacts with more features I didn't think of,
of course.
I also did some manual testing:
- check-llvm check-clang check-lld work with lld with this patch
as host linker and -dead_strip enabled
- Chromium still starts
- Chromium's base_unittests still pass, including unwind tests
Implemenation-wise, this is InputSection-based, so it'll work for
object files with .subsections_via_symbols (which includes all
object files generated by clang). I first based this on the COFF
implementation, but later realized that things are more similar to ELF.
I think it'd be good to refactor MarkLive.cpp to look more like the ELF
part at some point, but I'd like to get a working state checked in first.
Mechanical parts:
- Rename canOmitFromOutput to wasCoalesced (no behavior change)
since it really is for weak coalesced symbols
- Add noDeadStrip to Defined, corresponding to N_NO_DEAD_STRIP
(`.no_dead_strip` in asm)
Fixes PR49276.

D101114 enforced proper version checks, which exposed a variety of version
mismatch issues in our tests. We previously changed the test inputs to
target 10.0, which was the simpler thing to do, but we should really
just have our lit.local.cfg default to targeting 10.15, which is what is done
here. We're not likely to ever have proper support for the older versions
anyway, as that would require more work for unclear benefit; for instance,
llvm-mc seems to generate a different compact unwind format for older macOS
versions, which would cause our compact-unwind.s test to fail.
Targeting 10.15 by default causes the following behavioral changes:
* `__mh_execute_header` is now a section symbol instead of an absolute symbol
* LC_BUILD_VERSION gets emitted instead of LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX. The former is
32 bytes in size whereas the latter is 16 bytes, so a bunch of hardcoded
address offsets in our tests had to be updated.
* >= 10.6 executables are PIE by default
Note that this diff was stacked atop of a local revert of most of the test
changes in rG8c17a875150f8e736e8f9061ddf084397f45f4c5, to make review easier.

We had got it backwards... the minimum version of the target
should be higher than the min version of the object files, presumably
since new platforms are backwards-compatible with older formats.
Fixes PR50078.
The original commit (aa05439c9c) broke many tests that had inputs too
new for our target platform (10.0). This commit changes the inputs to
target 10.0, which was the simpler thing to do, but we should really
just have our lit.local.cfg default to targeting 10.15... we're not
likely to ever have proper support for the older versions anyway. I will
follow up with a change to that effect.
