A number of the ICF tests were not updated to use --print-icf-sections
instead of --verbose and various '-NOT' checks were not updated to the
latest output format of --print-icf-sections. Because these are all
'negative' tests, these issues have gone unnoticed.

--verbose is not used to report ICF sections since r324755,
--print-icf-sections is used instead.
These tests were at fact disabled since that time.

Currently ICF information is output through stderr if the "--verbose"
flag is used. This differs to Gold for example, which uses an explicit
flag to output this to stdout. This commit adds the
"--print-icf-sections" and "--no-print-icf-sections" flags and changes
the output message format for clarity and consistency with
"--print-gc-sections". These messages are still output to stderr if
using the verbose flag. However to avoid intermingled message output to
console, this will not occur when the "--print-icf-sections" flag is
used.
Existing tests have been modified to expect the new message format from
stderr.

log are also diagnostics so it seems like they should to
the same place as errors and debug messages.
Without this change when I enable --verbose those messages
go to stdout, but when I enable "-mllvm -debug" those messages
go to stderr (because dbgs() goes to stderr by default).
So I end up having to do this a lot:
lld <args> > output_message 2>&1

Windows does not allow opened files to be removed. This patch
fixes two types of errors.
- Output file being the same as input file. Because LLD itself
holds a file descriptor of the input file, it cannot create an
output file with the same name as a new file.
- Removing files before releasing MemoryBuffer objects.
These tests are not failing no because MemoryBuffer happens to
decide not to use mmap on these files. But we shouldn't rely on
that behavior.

This patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.
