Port the D64906 technique to ARM. It deletes 3 alignments at
PT_LOAD boundaries for the default case: the size of an arm binary
decreases by at most 12kb.

llvm-objdump can switch between ARM/Thumb states after D60927.
In a few lld tests, we run both
* llvm-objdump -d -triple=thumbv7a-none-linux-gnueabi %t
* llvm-objdump -d -triple=armv7a-none-linux-gnueabi %t
to test ARM/Thumb parts of the same file. In many cases we can just
run one command. There is a problem that prevents us from cleaning
more tests (e.g. test/ELF/arm-thumb-interwork-thunk.s):
In llvm-objdump, while we have ARM/Thumb (primary and secondary)
MCDisassembler and MCSubtargetInfo, we have just one MCInstrAnalysis
which is used to resolve the targets of calls in both ARM/Thumb parts.
// ThumbMCInstrAnalysis evaluating ARM parts or ARMMCInstrAnalysis evaluating Thumb parts
// will have incorrect offsets.
// An example of llvm-objdump -d -triple=thumbv7a on ARM part:
1304: 3d ff ff fa blx #-780 # no <...>
1308: 06 00 00 ea b #24 <arm_caller+0x24> # wrong target due to wrong offset

Older Arm architectures do not support the MOVT and MOVW instructions so we
must use an alternative sequence of instructions to transfer control to the
destination.
Assuming at least Armv5 this patch adds support for Thunks that load or add
to the program counter. Note that there are no Armv5 Thumb Thunks as there
is no Thumb branch instruction in Armv5 that supports Thunks. These thunks
will not work for Armv4t (arm7tdmi) as this architecture cannot change state
from using the LDR or ADD instruction.
