--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.

GNU gold doesn't print out ICF sections for -verbose. It only shows
them for -print-icf-sections. We printed out them for -verbose because
we didn't have -print-icf-sections. Now that we have the option, there's
no reason to print out for -verbose.

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.

When we have --icf=safe we should be able to define --icf=all as a
shorthand for --icf=safe --ignore-function-address-equality.
For now --ignore-function-address-equality is used only to control
access to non preemptable symbols in shared libraries.

An internal linker has support for merging identical data and in some
cases it can be a significant win.
This is behind an off by default flag so it has to be requested
explicitly.

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

Previously, LLD merged all read-only sections. So the following
program prints out "true" if -icf=all is specified.
static const int foo = 1;
static const int bar = 1;
int main() { printf("%s\n", &foo == &bar ? "true" : "false"); }
This is somewhat counter-intuitive, and it actually caused nasty issues.
One example is https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=682773#c24.
This patch changes the way how it works. Now ICF merges only functions
(i.e. executable sections).
