Summary:
There were a few issues with the previous setup:
1. The section sorting comparator used a declarative map of section names to
determine the correct order, but it turns out we need to match on more than
just names -- in particular, an upcoming diff will sort based on whether the
S_ZERO_FILL flag is set. This diff changes the sorter to a more imperative but
flexible form.
2. We were sorting OutputSections stored in a MapVector, which left the
MapVector in an inconsistent state -- the wrong keys map to the wrong values!
In practice, we weren't doing key lookups (only container iteration) after the
sort, so this was fine, but it was still a dubious state of affairs. This diff
copies the OutputSections to a vector before sorting them.
3. We were adding unneeded OutputSections to OutputSegments and then filtering
them out later, which meant that we had to remember whether an OutputSegment
was in a pre- or post-filtered state. This diff only adds the sections to the
segments if they are needed.
In addition to those major changes, two minor ones worth noting:
1. I renamed all OutputSection variable names to `osec`, to parallel `isec`.
Previously we were using some inconsistent combination of `osec`, `os`, and
`section`.
2. I added a check (and a test) for InputSections with names that clashed with
those of our synthetic OutputSections.

Summary: Similar to other formats, input sections in the MachO
implementation are now grouped under output sections. This is primarily
a refactor, although there's some new logic (like resolving the output
section's flags based on its inputs).
