BSD linker scripts contain special cases to add NOP
padding to code sections. Syntax is next:
.init:
{
KEEP (*(.init))
} =0x90909090
(0x90 is NOP)
This patch implements that functionality.

When link-time garbage collection is in use (-gc-sections), it is
often useful to mark sections that should not be eliminated.
This is accomplished by surrounding an input section's wildcard
entry with KEEP(). Patch implements that command.

Each rule in SECTIONS commands is something like ".foo *(.baz.*)",
which instructs the linker to collect all sections whose name matches
".baz.*" from all files and put them into .foo section.
Previously, we didn't recognize the wildcard character. This patch
adds that feature.
Performance impact is a bit concerning because a linker script can
contain hundreds of SECTIONS rules, and doing pattern matching against
each rule would be too expensive. We could merge all patterns into
single DFA so that it takes O(n) to the input size. However, it is
probably too much at this moment -- we don't know whether the
performance of pattern matching matters or not. So I chose to
implement the simplest algorithm in this patch. I hope this simple
pattern matcher is sufficient.

Previously, we had code for linker scripts in Writer. This patch
separates that as LinkerScript class. The class provides a few
functions to query linker scripts and is also a container of some
linker-script-specific information.
Hopefully, Writer will only implement the default behavior and let
the new class handle gotchas regarding linker scripts.

This patch adds "Error" field to LinkerScript class. That field
is false by default, and set to true if there is a syntax error
in an input file. The linker script parser is a recursive-descedent
parser. Each function returns if Error is true -- so that
eventually the whole parser returns to a caller.

In many situations, we don't want to exit at the first error even in the
process model. For example, it is better to report all undefined symbols
rather than reporting the first one that the linker picked up randomly.
In order to handle such errors, we don't need to wrap everything with
ErrorOr (thanks for David Blaikie for pointing this out!) Instead, we
can set a flag to record the fact that we found an error and keep it
going until it reaches a reasonable checkpoint.
This idea should be applicable to other places. For example, we can
ignore broken relocations and check for errors after visiting all relocs.
In this patch, I rename error to fatal, and introduce another version of
error which doesn't call exit. That function instead sets HasError to true.
Once HasError becomes true, it stays true, so that we know that there
was an error if it is true.
I think introducing a non-noreturn error reporting function is by itself
a good idea, and it looks to me that this also provides a gradual path
towards lld-as-a-library (or at least embed-lld-to-your-program) without
sacrificing code readability with lots of ErrorOr's.

There was an off by one error because the StringRef.substr functions
second argument is a length, not the end index.
Also updated a few ELF files which failed when run on Jenkins with paths
including the @ character. This is often used in Jenkins for shared
workspace plugin.

If an argument of the INPUT directive is a regular path, linker should
lookup it in the current folder first.
The fix does not contain any test cases because I think it is not a good
idea to pollute a current folder (which in general might be arbitrary)
by test files.

In case a sysroot prefix is configured, and the filename starts with
the '/' character, and the script being processed was located inside
the sysroot prefix, the file's name will be looked for in the sysroot
prefix. Otherwise, the linker falls to the common lookup scheme.
It is slightly modified version of the commit r254031. The problem of
the initial commit was in the `is_absolute` call. On Windows 'C:\' is
absolute path but we do not need to find it under sysroot. In this patch
linker looks up a path under sysroot only if the paths starts with '/'
character.

The reason of collecting all undefines in vector is that during reading files we already need to have Symtab created. Or like was done in that patch - to put undefines from scripts somewhere to delay Symtab.addUndefinedOpt() call.

This patch adds AsNeeded and IsUsed bool fields to SharedFile. AsNeeded bit
is set if the DSO is enclosed with --as-needed and --no-as-needed. IsUsed
bit is off by default. When we adds a symbol to the symbol table for dynamic
linking, we set its SharedFile's IsUsed bit.
If AsNeeded is set but IsUsed is not set, we don't want to write that
file's SO name to DT_NEEDED field.

In the linker script, -l and = have the same meaning as in the command line.
In addition to that, if a path is not absolute, the path needs to be searched
from the search paths. This patch implements them.

Opening a file and dispatching to readLinkerScript() or createFile()
is a common operation. We want to use that at least from Driver and
from LinkerScript. In COFF, we had the same problem. This patch
resolves the problem in the same way as we did for COFF.
Now, if you have a path that you want to open, just call
Driver->addFile(StringRef). That function opens the file and handles
that as if that were given by command line. This function is the
only place we call identify_magic().
