This improves readability and the behavior is consistent with GNU objdump.
The new test test/tools/llvm-objdump/X86/disassemble-section-name.s
checks we print newlines before and after "Disassembly of section ...:"

Summary:
This should address remaining issues discussed in PR36555.
Currently R_GOT*_FROM_END are exclusively used by x86 and x86_64 to
express relocations types relative to the GOT base. We have
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ (GOT base) = start(.got.plt) but end(.got) !=
start(.got.plt)
This can have problems when _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is used as a symbol, e.g.
glibc dl_machine_dynamic assumes _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is start(.got.plt),
which is not true.
extern const ElfW(Addr) _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[] attribute_hidden;
return _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0]; // R_X86_64_GOTPC32
In this patch, we
* Change all GOT*_FROM_END to GOTPLT* to fix the problem.
* Add HasGotPltOffRel to denote whether .got.plt should be kept even if
the section is empty.
* Simplify GotSection::empty and GotPltSection::empty by setting
HasGotOffRel and HasGotPltOffRel according to GlobalOffsetTable early.
The change of R_386_GOTPC makes X86::writePltHeader simpler as we don't
have to compute the offset start(.got.plt) - Ebx (it is constant 0).
We still diverge from ld.bfd (at least in most cases) and gold in that
.got.plt and .got are not adjacent, but the advantage doing that is
unclear.

Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

Summary:
Currently when --no-rosegment is specified or a linker script with SECTIONS command is used,
.rodata (A) .text (AX) are assigned the same rank and .rodata may be placed after .text .
This increases the gap between .text and .bss and can cause pc-relative relocation overflow (e.g. gcc crtbegin.o crtbegin.S have R_X86_64_PC32 relocation from .text to .bss).
This patch makes SingleRoRx affect only segment layout, not section layout. As a consequence, .rodata will be placed before .text regardless of SingleRoRx.

This CL places .dynsym and .dynstr at the beginning of SHF_ALLOC
sections. We do this to mitigate the possibility that huge .dynsym and
.dynstr sections placed between ro-data and text sections cause
relocation overflow.

This CL is to mitigate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation overflow problems for huge binaries that has near 4G allocated sections.
By examining those binaries, there're 2 issues contributes to the problem:
1). huge ".dynsym" and ".dynstr" stands in the way between .rodata and .text
2). _init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents, this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.
This CL addresses 1st problem (the 2nd will be addressed in another CL.) by assigning a smaller sortrank to .dynsym and .dynstr thus they no longer stand in between.

The PLT retpoline support for X86 and X86_64 did not include the padding
when writing the header and entries. This issue was revealed when linker
scripts were used, as this disables the built-in behaviour of filling
the last page of executable segments with trap instructions. This
particular behaviour was hiding the missing padding.
Added retpoline tests with linker scripts.
