In a very recent change I introduced a --no-export-default flag
but after conferring with others it seems that this feature already
exists in gnu GNU ld and lld in the form the --export-dynamic flag
which is off by default.
This change replaces export-default with export-dynamic and also
changes the default to match the traditional linker behaviour.
Now, by default, only the entry point is exported. If other symbols
are required by the embedder then --export-dynamic or --export can
be used to export all visibility hidden symbols or individual
symbols respectively.
This change touches a lot of tests that were relying on symbols
being exported by default. I imagine it will also effect many
users but do think the change is worth it match of the traditional
behaviour and flag names.

This matches the behavior of the ELF linker where -u/--undefined
means symbols will get pulled in from archives but won't result
in link error if they are missing.
Also, don't actually great symbol table entries for the undefined
symbols, again matching more closely the ELF linker.
This also results in simplification of the code.

This matches the existing ordering that's been there for globals
for a while (__stack_pointer coming first).

This means we don't need to write the linking metadata section
at all for executable (non-relocatable) output.

Invoking lld as ld.lld, ld.ld64, lld-link or wasm-ld is preferred
than invoking lld as lld and pass an -flavor option. We have "lld"
file mostly for historical reasons.

This is similar to _end (See https://linux.die.net/man/3/edata for more)
but using our own unique name since our use cases will most likely be
different and we want to keep our options open WRT to memory layout.
This change will allow is to remove the DataSize from the linking
metadata section which is currently being used by emscripten to derive
the end of the data.

This is somewhat preferable since (in many cases) it allows llc
to be run directly on the .ll files without having to pass the
`-mtriple` argument.

Its much easier to export it via setHidden(false), now that
that is a thing.
As a side effect the start function is not longer always exports first
(becuase its being exported just like all the other function).

This is an immutable exported global representing
the start of the heap area. It is a page aligned.

This linker backend is still a work in progress but is
enough to link simple programs including linking against
library archives.
