This version uses a set to speed up the synchronize method.
Original message:
Remove LinkerScript::flush.
This patch replaces flush with a last ditch attempt at synchronizing
the section list with the linker script "AST".
The synchronization is a bit of a hack and should in time be avoided
by creating the AST earlier so that modifications can be made directly
to it instead of modifying the section list and synchronizing it back.
This is the main step for fixing
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32816. With this in place I
think the only missing thing would be to have processCommands assign
section indexes as dummy offsets so that the sort in
OutputSection::finalize works.
With this LinkerScript::assignAddresses becomes much simpler, which
should help with the thunk work.

This reverts commit r301678 since that change significantly slowed
down the linker. Before this patch, LLD could link clang in 8 seconds,
but with this patch it took 40 seconds.

We were already pretty close, the one exception was when a name was
reused in another SECTIONS directive:
SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data : { *(.data) }
}
SECTIONS {
.data : { *(other) }
}
In this case we would create a single .data and magically output
"other" while looking at the first OutputSectionCommand.
We now create two .data sections. This matches what gold does. If we
really want to create a single one, we should change the parser so that
the above is parsed as if the user had written
SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data : { *(.data) *(other)}
}
That is, there should be only one OutputSectionCommand for .data and
it would have two InputSectionDescriptions.
By itself this patch makes the code a bit more complicated, but is an
important step in allowing assignAddresses to operate just on the
linker script.

This change fabricates linker script commands for the case where there is
no linker script SECTIONS to control address assignment. This permits us
to have a single Script->assignAddresses() function.
There is a small change in user-visible-behavior with respect to the
handling of .tbss SHT_NOBITS, SHF_TLS as the Script->assignAddresses()
requires setDot() to be called with monotically increasing addresses.
The tls-offset.s test has been updated so that the script and non-script
results match.
This change should make the non-script behavior of lld closer to an
equivalent linker script.

Imagine next script:
SECTIONS { BYTE(0x11); }
Section content written to disk will be 0x11. Previous LLD behavior was to make this
section SHT_NOBITS. What is not correct because section has content.
ld.bfd makes such sections SHT_PROGBITS, this patch do the same.

This fixes an assertion `Align != 0u && "Align can't be 0."'
in llvm::alignTo() when a linker script references a globally
defined variable in an ALIGN() context.

Executable sections should not be padded with zero by default. On some
architectures, 0x00 is the start of a valid instruction sequence, so can confuse
disassembly between InputSections (and indeed the start of the next InputSection
in some situations). Further, in the case of misjumps into padding, padding may
start to be executed silently.
On x86, the "0xcc" byte represents the int3 trap instruction. It is a single
byte long so can serve well as padding. This change switches x86 (and x86_64) to
use this value for padding in executable sections, if no linker script directive
overrides it. It also puts the behaviour into place making it easy to change the
behaviour of other targets when desired. I do not know the relevant instruction
sequences for trap instructions on other targets however, so somebody should add
this separately.
Because the old behaviour simply wrote padding in the whole section before
overwriting most of it, this change also modifies the padding algorithm to write
padding only where needed. This in turn has caused a small behaviour change with
regards to what values are written via Fill commands in linker scripts, bringing
it into line with ld.bfd. The fill value is now written starting from the end of
the previous block, which means that it always starts from the first byte of the
fill, whereas the old behaviour meant that the padding sometimes started mid-way
through the fill value. See the test changes for more details.

LinkerScript.cpp contains both the linker script processor and the
linker script parser. I put both into a single file, but the file grown
too large, so it's time to put them into two different files.

This requires collectign all symbols referenced in the linker script
and adding them to symbol table as undefined symbol.

LinkerScript used to be a template class, so we couldn't instantiate
that class in elf::link. We instantiated ScriptConfig class earlier
instead so that the linker script parser can store configurations to
the object.
Now that LinkerScript is not a template, it doesn't make sense to
separate ScriptConfig from LinkerScript. This patch merges them.
