When a file is not found, produce a proper error message. The previous error
message produced a file format error, which made me wonder for a while why
there is a file format error, but essentially the file was not found.
This fixes the problem by producing a proper error message.

By default linker would not create a separate segment to hold read only data.
This option overrides that behavior by creating the a separate read only segment
for read only data.

The commit of the .ent/.end implementation will change the result of the
relocation evaluations (because of a new section and additional relocations)
which will lead to a failure if the .ent/.end directives are present in this
test.
We don't really need the .ent/.end directives in this test so let's just remove
them to preserve the current output.

There are two forms of `-l` prefixed expression:
* -l<libname>
* -l:<filename>
In the first case a linker should construct a full library name
`lib + libname + .[so|a]` and search this library as usual. In the second case
a linker should use the `<filename>` as is and search this file through library
search directories.

dynamic symbol table populating and DT_NEEDED tag creation.
The `isDynSymEntryRequired` function returns true if the specified shared
library atom requires a dynamic symbol table entry. The `isNeededTagRequired`
function returns true if we need to create DT_NEEDED tag for the shared
library defined specified shared atom.
By default the both functions return true. So there is no functional changes
for all targets except MIPS. Probably we need to spread the same modifications
on other ELF targets but I want to implement and fully tested complete set of
changes for MIPS target first.
For MIPS we create a dynamic symbol table entry for a shared library atom iif
this atom is referenced by a regular defined atom. For example, if library L1
defines symbol T1, library L2 defines symbol T2 and uses symbol T1
and executable file E1 uses symbol T2 but does not use symbol T1 we create
an entry in the E1 dynamic symbol table for symbol T2 and do not create
an entry for T1.
The patch creates DT_NEEDED tags for shared libraries contain shared library
atoms which a) referenced by regular defined atoms; b) have corresponding
copy dynamic relocations (R_MIPS_COPY).
Now the patch does not take in account --as-needed / --no-as-needed command
line options. So it is too restrictive and create DT_NEEDED tags for really
needed shared libraries only. I plan to fix that by subsequent patches.

Arrange .ctors/.dtors sections in the following order:
.ctors from crtbegin.o or crtbegin?.o
.ctors from regular object files
.ctors.* (sorted) from regular object files
.ctors from crtend.o or crtend?.o
This order is specific for MIPS traget. For example, on X86
the .ctors.* sections are merged into the .init_array section.

The main problem is in the predicate passed to the `std::stable_sort()`.
This predicate always returns false if **both** section's names do not
start with `.init_array` or `.fini_array` prefixes. In short, it does not
define a strict weak orderng. Suppose we have the following sections:
.A .init_array.1 .init_array.2
The predicate states that:
not .init_array.1 < .A
not .A < .init_array.2
but .init_array.1 < .init_array.2 !!!
The second problem is that `.init_array` section without number should
go last in the list. Not it has the lowest priority '0' and goes first.
The patch fixes both of the problems.

In r205566, I made a change to Resolver so that Resolver revisit
only archive files in --start-group and --end-group pair. That's
not correct, as it also has to revisit DSO files.
This patch is to fix the issue.
Added a test to demonstrate the fix. I confirmed that it succeeded
before r205566, failed after r205566, and is ok with this patch.

If one or more dynamic relocation might modify a read-only section,
dynamic table should contain DT_TEXTREL tag.
The patch introduces new `RelocationTable::canModifyReadonlySection()`
method. This method checks through the relocations to see if any modifies
a read-only section. The DynamicTable class calls this method and emits
the DT_TEXTREL tag if necessary.

In general the linker scripts's GROUP command works like a pair
of command line options --start-group/--end-group. But there is
a difference in the files look up algorithm.
The --start-group/--end-group commands use a trivial approach:
a) If the path has '-l' prefix, add 'lib' prefix and '.a'/'.so'
suffix and search the path through library search directories.
b) Otherwise, use the path 'as-is'.
The GROUP command implements more compicated approach:
a) If the path has '-l' prefix, add 'lib' prefix and '.a'/'.so'
suffix and search the path through library search directories.
b) If the path does not have '-l' prefix, and sysroot is configured,
and the path starts with the / character, and the script being
processed is located inside the sysroot, search the path under
the sysroot. Otherwise, try to open the path in the current
directory. If it is not found, search through library search
directories.

1. Re-implement PLT entries and dynamic relocations emitting to keep PLT
and relocations table in a consistent state.
2. Initialize st_value and st_other fields for dynamic symbols table
entry if this entry corresponds to an external function which address is
taken in a non-PIC executable. In that case the st_value field holds an
address of the function's PLT entry. Also set STO_MIPS_PLT bit in the
st_other field.

Currently LLD supports --defsym only in the form of
--defsym=<symbol>=<integer>, where the integer is interpreted as the
absolute address of the symbol. This patch extends it to allow other
symbol name to be given as an RHS value. If a RHS value is a symbol
name, the LHS symbol will be defined as an alias for the RHS symbol.
Internally, a LHS symbol is represented as a zero-size defined atom
who has an LayoutAfter reference to an undefined atom, whose name is
the RHS value. Everything else is already implemented -- Resolver
will resolve the undefined symbol, and the layout pass will layout
the two atoms at the same location. Looks like it's working fine.
Note that GNU LD supports --defsym=<symbol>=<symbol>+<addend>. That
feature is out of scope of this patch.

a couple of new virtual functions.
Follow-up to the rL203408. Two virtual functions `createRelocationReference()`
responsible for creation of `ELFReference` have been replaced by a couple of
new virtual functions `createRelocationReferences()` (plural). Each former
function creates a //single// ELFReference for a specified `Elf_Rela`
or `Elf_Rel` relocation records. The new functions responsible for creation
of //all// relocation references for provided symbol.
For all targets except MIPS there are no functional changes.
MIPS ABI has a notion of //paired// relocations. An effective addend of such
relocations are calculated using addends of both pair's members.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` and `R_MIPS_GOT16` (for local symbols) relocations must have
an associated `R_MIPS_LO16` entry immediately following it in the list
of relocations. Immediately does not mean "next record" in relocations section
but "next record referenced the same symbol". Moreover a single `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation can be paired with multiple preceding `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_GOT16`
relocations.
The paired relocation can have offsets belong to the different symbols.
That is why we need to have access to list of all relocations during
construction of `ELFReference` for MIPS target.

On these tests llvm-mc will convert got relocations with a symbol to section
relocations. This is invalid, since the relocation doesn't reference the symbol
itself, so its offset in a section in irrelevant.
Given the object files, these are still valid lld tests, so just run the
tests directly on the binaries.
Found by running check-lld after fixing the relocation handling in llvm-mc.

This patch is to support --defsym option for ELF file format/GNU-compatible
driver. Currently it takes a symbol name followed by '=' and a number. If such
option is given, the driver sets up an absolute symbol with the specified
address. You can specify multiple --defsym options to define multiple symbols.
GNU LD's --defsym provides many more features. For example, it allows users to
specify another symbol name instead of a number to define a symbol alias, or it
even allows a symbol plus an offset (e.g. --defsym=foo+3) to define symbol-
relative alias. This patch does not support that, but will be supported in
subsequent patches.
