A CommonInputSection is a section containing all common symbols.
That was an input section but was abstracted in a different way
than the synthetic input sections because it was written before
the synthetic input section was invented.
This patch rewrites CommonInputSection as a synthetic input section
so that it behaves better with other sections.

We are going to have many more classes for linker-synthesized
input sections, so it's worth to be added to a separate file
than to the file for regular input sections.

The example reported in PR30793 shows a case where gc reclaims
a SHF_TLS section, but it doesn't reclaim the section containing
the debug info for it.
This is expected, as we do not reclaim non-alloc sections
during the garbage collection phase (and this is not going to
change anytime soon, at least this is what I gathered last I
talked with Rafael about it).
So, we end up with a pending reference, thinking that the input
was invalid (which is not true, as it's GC that removed the
SHT_TLS section, and therefore didn't create the PT_TLS *segment*
for it). In cases like this, just assign a VA of zero at relocation
time instead of error'ing out (this is what gold does as well, FWIW).

Instead of storing a pointer, store the members we need.
The reason for doing this is that it makes it far easier to create
synthetic sections. It also avoids reading data from files multiple
times., which might help with cross endian linking and host
architectures with slow unaligned access.
There are obvious compacting opportunities, but this already has mixed
results even on native x86_64 linking.
There is also the possibility of better refactoring the code for
handling common symbols, but this already shows that a custom class is
not necessary.

We were fairly inconsistent as to what information should be accessed
with getSectionHdr and what information (like alignment) was stored
elsewhere.
Now all section info has a dedicated getter. The code is also a bit
more compact.

Some MIPS relocations used to access GOT entries are able to manipulate
16-bit index. The other ones like R_MIPS_CALL_HI16/LO16 can handle
32-bit indexes. 16-bit relocations are generated by default. The 32-bit
relocations are generated by -mxgot flag passed to compiler. Usually
these relocation are not mixed in the same code but files like crt*.o
contain 16-bit relocations so even if all "user's" code compiled with
-mxgot flag a few 16-bit relocations might come to the linking phase.
Now LLD does not differentiate local GOT entries accessed via a 16-bit
and 32-bit indexes. That might lead to relocation's overflow if 16-bit
entries are allocated to far from the beginning of the GOT.
The patch introduces new "part" of MIPS GOT dedicated to the local GOT
entries accessed by 32-bit relocations. That allows to put local GOT
entries accessed via a 16-bit index first and escape relocation's overflow.

The R_ARM_PREL31 and R_ARM_NONE relocations should not be faulted in
shared libraries. In the case of R_ARM_NONE, we have moved the TLS
relaxation hint instruction to R_TLSDESC_CALL so that R_HINT can be used
without side-effects. In the case of R_ARM_PREL31 we permit it to be used
against PLT entries as the personality routines are imported when used in
shared libraries.

Even with the hash table cache, binary search was still pretty
hot. This can be made even faster with prefetching.

Summary:
Reclaiming the name 'CachedHashString' will let us add a type with that

Previously, we supported only SHF_COMPRESSED sections because it's
new and it's the ELF standard. But there are object files compressed
in the GNU style out there, so we had to support it.
Sections compressed in the GNU style start with ".zdebug_" and
contain different headers than the ELF standard's one. In this
patch, getRawCompressedData is responsible to handle it.
A tricky thing about GNU-style compressed sections is that we have
to rename them when creating output sections. ".zdebug_" prefix
implies the section is compressed. We need to rename ".zdebug_"
".debug" because our output sections are not compressed.
We do that in this patch.

The .ARM.exidx sections contain a table. Each entry has two fields:
- PREL31 offset to the function the table entry describes
- Action to take, either cantunwind, inline unwind, or PREL31 offset to
.ARM.extab section
The table entries must be sorted in order of the virtual addresses the
first entry of the table describes. Traditionally this is implemented by
the SHF_LINK_ORDER dependency. Instead of implementing this directly we
sort the table entries post relocation.
The .ARM.exidx OutputSection is described by the PT_ARM_EXIDX program
header

I found that this check still may be useful in some cases.
At fact since we use uint32_t alignment, then maximum value
that is valid for us is 0x80000000. But some broken files,
for example file from testcase may have greater value.
Because of that offset calculation overflow and crash happens.

This seems to be because we don't stall as much. When linking firefox
stalled-cycles-frontend goes from 57.56% to 55.55%.
With -O2 the difference is even more significant since we avoid
recomputing the hash. For firefox we go from 9.990295265 to
9.149627521 seconds (1.09x faster).

It is pretty easy to get the data from the InputSection, so we don't
have to store it.
This opens the way for storing the hash instead.

Follow-up to r282716. Reject input files with non-zero GP0 value only in
case of relocatable object generation. In other case we can handle
arbitrary GP0 value so it does not have a sense to make the restriction
so wide.

Case was revealed by id_000010,sig_08,src_000000,op_havoc,rep_4 from PR30540.
Out implementation uses uint32 for storing section alignment value,
what seems reasonable, though if value exceeds 32 bits bounds we have
truncation and final value of 0.

We would crash when a non-alloca section pointed to a gced part of a
merge section.
That can happen when a C/c++ constant in put in a merge section and
debug info is present.

LLD does not update relocations addends when generate a relocatable
object. That is why we should not write a non-zero GP0 value into
the .reginfo and .MIPS.options sections. And we should not accept input
object files with non-zero GP0 value because we cannot handle them
properly.

If we pass --gc-sections to lld and .tbss is not referenced,
the section is reclaimed and lld doesn't create a TLS program header.
R_TLS tries to access the program header -> lld crashes.
Mimic what bfd/gold do in this case and resolve a weak undefined
TLS symbol to the base of the TLS block, i.e. give it a value of zero.
