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.

scanRelocs() does a lot of things. It fills InputSection's Relocations vector,
making a decision whether a TLS relocation should be relaxed or not,
and making a decision whether a GOT/PLT slot needs to be created or not.
They don't actually have to be done in a single loop. I want to separate
them so that some of them can be run concurently. As a first step, this
patch moves PLT/GOT slot assignment to beginning of the loop, so that
they just fall through to the next statements. This should make it clear
that that code doesn't affect other parts of the loop.

Relocations are abstracted as platform-independent R_TLS_* relocations,
so we don't need to check platform-specific ones to see if a relocation
is TLS GD.

Symbols referenced by linker scripts are not necessarily be undefined,
so the previous name didn't convey the meaining of the variable.

Previously, the code we set to our .plt entries expected that .got
and .got.plt are consecutive in the virtual address space.
Since %ebx points to the last entry of .got for position-independent
code, it assumed that .got is accessible with small negative
displacements and .got.plt are accessible with small positive
displacements.
That assumption was simply wrong. We don't impose any restrictions on
relative layout of .got and .got.plt. As a result, the control is
transferred to a bogus address from .plt at runtime, which resulted in
segfaults.
This patch removes that wrong assumption. We still assume that .got.plt
has a fixed relative address to .got, but we no longer assume that they
are consecutive in memory.
With this change, a "hello world" program compiled with -fPIC works.

For range extension thunks we will need to repeatedly call createThunks()
until no more thunks are created. We will need to retain the state of
Thunks that we have created so far to avoid recreating them on later
passes. This change does not change the functionality of createThunks().

GNU linkers define __bss_start symbol.
Patch teaches LLD to do that. This is PR32051.
Below is part of standart ld.bfd script:
.data1 : { *(.data1) }
_edata = .; PROVIDE (edata = .);
. = .;
__bss_start = .;
.bss :
{
Currently LLD can emit up to 3 .bss* sections as one of testcase shows.
Implementation inserts this symbol before first .bss* output section.

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.

Summary:
This adds support for reporting multiple errors in a single invocation of lld-link. The limit defaults to 20 and can be changed with the /ERRORLIMIT command line parameter, or set to unlimited by passing a value of 0.
This is a new attempt after r295507, which was reverted because opening files raced with exiting early, causing the test to be flaky. This version avoids the race by exiting before calling enqueuePath.
