Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:
-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data

On SPARC, .plt is both writeable and executable. The current way
sections are sorted means that lld puts it after .data/.bss. but it
really needs to be close to .test to make sure branches into .plt
don't overflow. I'd argue that because .bss is supposed to come last
on all architectures, we should change the default sort order such
that writable and executable sections come before sections that are
just writeable. read-only executable sections should still come after
sections that are just read-only of course. This diff makes this
change.

We were previously using the (static) addSynthetic function to create
*_start/*_end symbols. This function was doing almost the same thing as
addOptionalSynthetic, except that it would also create the symbol in the
case where it is unreferenced. Because the symbol has hidden visibility,
creating it in that case would have no effect other than adding another
entry to the static symbol table. Remove addSynthetic and change callers to
use addOptionalSynthetic instead.

In FreeBSD, rtld expects .ctors containing -1 (0xffffffff), and a
.ctors section containing the correct bits is provided to the linker as
input (/usr/lib/crtbegin.o).
Contents of section .ctors:
0000 ffffffff ffffffff ........
This section is not stripped even if not referenced or empty, also in
gold or ld.bfd. It would be nice to strip it when not needed but
since existing object files rely on that we can't do better to keep it
around.
