List all sections removed by garbage collection. This option is only effective if garbage collection has been enabled via the `--gc-sections' option.

This matches ld.bfd and ld.gold behavior. The change is simple enough
and avoid trouble to consumers (they don't have to change their Makefiles).
Side note: found while trying to build FreeBSD base system with lld.

Section garbage collection is a feature to remove unused sections
from outputs. Unused sections are sections that cannot be reachable
from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.
In this patch, I added Live bit to InputSectionBase. If and only
if Live bit is on, the section will be written to the output.
Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.
This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.
It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
That is 4.3% reduction.

This patch implements --hash-style command line switch.
* By default, or with "sysv" or "both" parameters, the linker generates
a standard ELF hash section.
* With "gnu" or "both", it produces a GNU-style hash section.
That section requires the symbols in the dynamic symbol table section, which
are referenced in the GNU hash section, to be placed after not hashed ones and
to be sorted to correspond the order of hash buckets in the GNU Hash section.
The division function, as well as estimations for the section's parameters,
are just the first rough attempt and the subjects for further adjustments.

This patch adds AsNeeded and IsUsed bool fields to SharedFile. AsNeeded bit
is set if the DSO is enclosed with --as-needed and --no-as-needed. IsUsed
bit is off by default. When we adds a symbol to the symbol table for dynamic
linking, we set its SharedFile's IsUsed bit.
If AsNeeded is set but IsUsed is not set, we don't want to write that
file's SO name to DT_NEEDED field.

When generating an executable or shared library, mark it to tell the dynamic linker to resolve all symbols when the program is started, or when the shared library is linked to using dlopen, instead of deferring function call resolution to the point when the function is first called.

The entries are added if there are "_init" or "_fini" entries in
the symbol table respectively. According to the behavior of ld,
entries are inserted even for undefined symbols.
Symbol names can be overridden by using -init and -fini command
line switches. If used, these switches neither add new symbol table
entries nor require those symbols to be resolved.

Summary:
If --whole-archive is used, all symbols from the following archives are added to the output. --no-whole-archive restores default behavior. These switches can be used multiple times.
NB. We have to keep an ArchiveFile instance within SymbolTable even if --whole-archive mode is active since it can be a thin archive which contains just names of external files. In that case actual memory buffers for the archive members will be stored within the File member of ArchiveFile class.

Summary:
These switches affect library searching for '-l' which follow them. Synonym forms are also supported:
* -dy and -call_shared for -Bdynamic switch
* -dn, -non_shared and -static for -Bstatic switch
