See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35533, and D40844
Things covered:
* Removing duplicate data segments (as determined by COMDATs emitted
by the frontend)
* Removing duplicate globals and functions in COMDATs
* Checking that each time a COMDAT is seen it has the same symbols
as at other times (ie it's a stronger check than simply giving all
the symbols in the COMDAT weak linkage)

Even though a function can have multiple names in the
linking standards (i.e. due to aliases), there can only
be one name for a given function in the NAME section.

The code section is now written out one function
at a time rather than all the functions in a given
objects being serialized at once.
This change lays the groundwork for supporting
--gc-sections.

The addresses of undefined symbols that make it into the final
executable (i.e. weak references to non-existent symbols) should
resolve to zero.
Also, make sure to not include function in the indirect function
table if they are not included in the output.

This change add support for init functions in the linking
section, but only in -r/--relocatable mode.

This is a preparetory change for function gc which also
requires relocations to be copied in ranges like this.

Since imports are undefined symbols we know we can
find all of them my looking at the symbol table alone.
(i.e. imports cannot be have local binding).
This will be strictly faster and also allows us
to to remove a method from Symbol class

Create the indirect function table based on symbols rather
than just duplicating the input entries. This has the
effect of de-duplicating the table.
This is a followup to the equivalent change made for globals:

Partially based on a patch by Nicholas Wilson:

This change cleans up the way wasm exports and globals
are generated, particualrly for -r/--relocatable where
globals need to be created and exported in order for
output relocations which reference them.
Remove the need for a per file GlobalIndexOffset and
instead set the output index for each symbol directly.
This simplifies the code in several places.

This is part of larger change to add synthetic symbols
for section start/end points and init/fini_array:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D40760
Allows synthetic global symbols to have an explicitly set
virtual address.

This is a small change I split of from a larger one
that simplifies the condition that need to be checked
when decided if we need to emit relocation and all the
things they depend on (symbols, etc).

This change allows checking of function signatures but
does not yes enable it by default. In this mode, linking
two objects that were compiled with a different signatures
for the same function will produce a link error.
New options for enabling and disabling this feature have been
added: (--check-signatures/--no-check-signatures).

This linker backend is still a work in progress but is
enough to link simple programs including linking against
library archives.
