This is a follow-up for D70378 (Cover usage of LLD as a library).
While debugging an intermittent failure on a bot, I recalled this scenario which
causes the issue:
1.When executing lld/test/ELF/invalid/symtab-sh-info.s L45, we reach
lld:🧝:Obj-File::ObjFile() which goes straight into its base ELFFileBase(),
then ELFFileBase::init().
2.At that point fatal() is thrown in lld/ELF/InputFiles.cpp L381, leaving a
half-initialized ObjFile instance.
3.We then end up in lld::exitLld() and since we are running with LLD_IN_TEST, we
hapily restore the control flow to CrashRecoveryContext::RunSafely() then back
in lld::safeLldMain().
4.Before this patch, we called errorHandler().reset() just after, and this
attempted to reset the associated SpecificAlloc<ObjFile<ELF64LE>>. That tried
to free the half-initialized ObjFile instance, and more precisely its
ObjFile::dwarf member.
Sometimes that worked, sometimes it failed and was catched by the
CrashRecoveryContext. This scenario was the reason we called
errorHandler().reset() through a CrashRecoveryContext.
But in some rare cases, the above repro somehow corrupted the heap, creating a
stack overflow. When the CrashRecoveryContext's filter (that is,
__except (ExceptionFilter(GetExceptionInformation()))) tried to handle the
exception, it crashed again since the stack was exhausted -- and that took the
whole application down. That is the issue seen on the bot. Locally it happens
about 1 times out of 15.
Now this situation can happen anywhere in LLD. Since catching stack overflows is
not a reliable scenario ATM when using CrashRecoveryContext, we're now
preventing further re-entrance when such failures occur, by signaling
lld::SafeReturn::canRunAgain=false. When running with LLD_IN_TEST=2 (or above),
only one iteration will be executed, instead of two.

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

This is what link.exe does and lets us avoid needing to worry about
merging output characteristics while adding input sections to output
sections.
With this change we can't process /merge in the same way as before
because sections with different output characteristics can still
be merged into one another. So this change moves the processing of
/merge to just before we assign addresses. In the case where there
are multiple output sections with the same name, link.exe only merges
the first section with the source name into the first section with
the target name, and we do the same.
At the same time I also implemented transitive merging (which means
that /merge:.c=.b /merge:.b=.a merges both .c and .b into .a).
This isn't quite enough though because link.exe has a special case for
.CRT in 32-bit mode: it processes sections whose output characteristics
are DATA | R | W as though the output characteristics were DATA | R
(so that they get merged into things like constructor lists in the
expected way). Chromium has a few such sections, and it turns out
that those sections were causing the problem that resulted in r318699
(merge .xdata into .rdata) being reverted: because of the previous
permission merging semantics, the .CRT sections were causing the entire
.rdata section to become writable, which caused the SEH runtime to
crash because it apparently requires .xdata to be read-only. This
change also implements the same special case.
This should unblock being able to merge .xdata into .rdata by default,
as well as .bss into .data, both of which will be done in followups.

Previously, we ignore /merge option if /debug is specified
because I thought that was MSVC linker did. This was wrong.
/merge shouldn't be ignored even in debug mode.
