Symbols for which `canBeOmittedFromSymbolTable()` is true should be
treated as private externs. This diff tries to do that by unsetting the
ExportDynamic bit. It seems to mostly work with the FullLTO backend, but
with the ThinLTO backend, the `local_unnamed_addr` symbols still fail to
be properly hidden. Nonetheless, this is a step in the right direction.
I've documented all the remaining differences between our behavior and
LD64's in the lto-internalized-unnamed-addr.ll test.

If both an order file and a call graph profile are present, the edges of the
call graph which use symbols present in the order file are not used. All of
the symbols in the order file will appear at the beginning of the section just
as they do currently. In other words, the highest priority derived from the
call graph will be below the lowest priority derived from the order file.
Practically, this change renames CallGraphSort.{h,cpp} to SectionPriorities.{h,cpp},
and most order file and call graph profile related code is moved into the new
file to reduce duplication.

Main motivation: including `llvm/CodeGen/CommandFlags.h` in
`CommonLinkerContext.h` means that the declaration of `llvm::Reloc` is
visible in any file that includes `CommonLinkerContext.h`. Since our
cpp files have both `using namespace llvm` and `using namespace
lld::macho`, this results in conflicts with `lld::macho::Reloc`.
I suppose we could put `llvm::Reloc` into a nested namespace, but in general,
I think we should avoid transitively including too many header files in
a very widely used header like `CommonLinkerContext.h`.
RegisterCodeGenFlags' ctor initializes a bunch of function-`static`
structures and does nothing else, so it should be fine to "initialize"
it as a temporary stack variable rather than as a file static.

`parseSections()` is a getting a bit large unwieldy, let's factor out
logic where we can.
Other minor changes in this diff:
* `"__cg_profile"` is now a global constexpr
* We now use `checkError()` instead of `fatal()`-ing without handling
the Error
* Check for `callGraphProfileSort` before checking the section name,
since the boolean comparison is likely cheaper

By unsetting this property, we are now able to internalize more symbols

concerned.

Earlier in LLD's evolution, I tried to create the illusion that
subsections were indistinguishable from "top-level" sections. Thus, even
though the subsections shared many common field values, I hid those
common values away in a private Shared struct (see D105305). More
recently, however, @gkm added a public `Section` struct in D113241 that
served as an explicit way to store values that are common to an entire
set of subsections (aka InputSections). Now that we have another "common
value" struct, `Shared` has been rendered redundant. All its fields can
be moved into `Section` instead, and the pointer to `Shared` can be replaced
with a pointer to `Section`.
This `Section` pointer also has the advantage of letting us inspect other
subsections easily, simplifying the implementation of {D118798}.
P.S. I do think that having both `Section` and `InputSection` makes for
a slightly confusing naming scheme. I considered renaming `InputSection`
to `Subsection`, but that would break the symmetry with `OutputSection`.
It would also make us deviate from LLD-ELF's naming scheme.

This flag is the default, so in ld64 it is not implemented, but it can
be useful to negate previous -all_load arguments. Specifically if your
build system has some global linker flags, that you may want to negate
for specific links. We use something like this today to make sure some
C++ symbols are automatically discovered for all links, which passing
-all_load hides.

In ld.lld, when an ObjFile/BitcodeFile is read in --start-lib state, the file is
given archive semantics. --end-lib closes the previous --start-lib. A build
system can use this feature as an alternative to archives. This patch ports
the feature to lld-macho.
--start-lib and --end-lib are positional, unlike usual ld64 options.
I think the slight drawback does not matter as (a) reusing option names
make build systems convenient (b) `--start-lib a.o b.o --end-lib` conveys more
information than an alternative design: `-objlib a.o -objlib b.o` because
--start-lib makes it clear which objects are in the same conceptual archive.
This provides flexibility (c) `-objlib`/`-filelist` interaction may be weird.

It's still uncertain but whether we want to have `deduplicate-literals` be the
default flag for LLD out of the box or not. If `deduplicate-literals` is the default
behavior, then we will need a way override it and not deduplicate. Luckily, we
have `no_deduplicate` to fill this gap. For now, I've set the default to be false

relative to the start of the thread-local data memory area, which is
initialized via copying all the TLV data sections (which are all
