Previously, we uncompress all compressed sections before doing anything.
That works, and that is conceptually simple, but that could results in
a waste of CPU time and memory if uncompressed sections are then
discarded or just copied to the output buffer.
In particular, if .debug_gnu_pub{names,types} are compressed and if no
-gdb-index option is given, we wasted CPU and memory because we
uncompress them into newly allocated bufers and then memcpy the buffers
to the output buffer. That temporary buffer was redundant.
This patch changes how to uncompress sections. Now, compressed sections
are uncompressed lazily. To do that, `Data` member of `InputSectionBase`
is now hidden from outside, and `data()` accessor automatically expands
an compressed buffer if necessary.
If no one calls `data()`, then `writeTo()` directly uncompresses
compressed data into the output buffer. That eliminates the redundant
memory allocation and redundant memcpy.
This patch significantly reduces memory consumption (20 GiB max RSS to
15 Gib) for an executable whose .debug_gnu_pub{names,types} are in total
5 GiB in an uncompressed form.

Imagine we have the following code:
int foo();
int main() { return foo(); }
It will crash if you try to compile it with
`clang -O0 -gdwarf-5 test.cpp -o test -g -fuse-ld=lld`
The crash happens inside the LLVM DWARF parser because LLD does not provide
the .debug_line_str section. At the same time for correct parsing and reporting,
we anyways need to provide this section from our side.
The patch fixes the issue.

This is https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=38919.
Currently, LLD may report "unsupported relocation target while parsing debug info"
when parsing the debug information.
At the same time LLD does that for zeroed R_X86_64_NONE relocations,
which obviously has "invalid" targets.
The nature of R_*_NONE relocation assumes them should be ignored.
This patch teaches LLD to stop reporting the debug information parsing errors for them.

These files used to contain classes and functions for .gdb_index,
but they are moved to SyntheticSections.{cpp,h}, so the name is now
irrelevant.
