This patch adds support for creating Guard Address-Taken IAT Entry Tables (.giats$y sections) in object files, matching the behavior of MSVC. These contain lists of address-taken imported functions, which are used by the linker to create the final GIATS table.
Additionally, if any DLLs are delay-loaded, the linker must look through the .giats tables and add the respective load thunks of address-taken imports to the GFIDS table, as these are also valid call targets.

This is a re-land of r370487 with a fix for the use-after-free bug
that rev contained.
This implements -start-lib and -end-lib flags for lld-link, analogous
to the similarly named options in ld.lld. Object files after
-start-lib are included in the link only when needed to resolve
undefined symbols. The -end-lib flag goes back to the normal behavior
of always including object files in the link. This mimics the
semantics of static libraries, but without needing to actually create
the archive file.

This ports r366573 from COFF to ELF.
There are now to toString(Archive::Symbol), one doing MSVC demangling
in COFF and one doing Itanium demangling in ELF, so rename these two
to toCOFFString() and to toELFString() to not get a duplicate symbol.
Nothing ever passes a raw Archive::Symbol to CHECK(), so these not
being part of the normal toString() machinery seems ok.
There are two code paths in the ELF linker that emits this type of
diagnostic:
1. The "normal" one in InputFiles.cpp. This is covered by the tweaked test.
2. An additional one that's only used for libcalls if there's at least
one bitcode in the link, and if the libcall symbol is lazy, and
lazily loaded from an archive (i.e. not from a lazy .o file).
(This code path was added in r339301.) Since all libcall names so far
are C symbols and never mangled, the change there is not observable
and hence not covered by tests.

This assumes all symbols are <4GB long, so we can store them as a 32-bit

with the other bitfield data in the base Symbol object.
This saved 70MB / 3.60% of heap allocations when linking
browser_tests.exe with no PDB. It's not much as a percentage, but worth
doing. I didn't do performance measurements, I don't think it will be

Normally, in order to reference exported data symbols from a different
DLL, the declarations need to have the dllimport attribute, in order to
use the __imp_<var> symbol (which contains an address to the actual
variable) instead of the variable itself directly. This isn't an issue
in the same way for functions, since any reference to the function without
the dllimport attribute will end up as a reference to a thunk which loads
the actual target function from the import address table (IAT).
GNU ld, in MinGW environments, supports automatically importing data
symbols from DLLs, even if the references didn't have the appropriate
dllimport attribute. Since the PE/COFF format doesn't support the kind
of relocations that this would require, the MinGW's CRT startup code
has an custom framework of their own for manually fixing the missing
relocations once module is loaded and the target addresses in the IAT
are known.
For this to work, the linker (originall in GNU ld) creates a list of
remaining references needing fixup, which the runtime processes on
startup before handing over control to user code.
While this feature is rather controversial, it's one of the main features
allowing unix style libraries to be used on windows without any extra
porting effort.
Some sort of automatic fixing of data imports is also necessary for the
itanium C++ ABI on windows (as clang implements it right now) for importing
vtable pointers in certain cases, see D43184 for some discussion on that.
The runtime pseudo relocation handler supports 8/16/32/64 bit addresses,
either PC relative references (like IMAGE_REL_*_REL32*) or absolute
references (IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32, IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32,
IMAGE_REL_I386_DIR32). On linking, the relocation is handled as a
relocation against the corresponding IAT slot. For the absolute references,
a normal base relocation is created, to update the embedded address
in case the image is loaded at a different address.
The list of runtime pseudo relocations contains the RVA of the
imported symbol (the IAT slot), the RVA of the location the relocation
should be applied to, and a size of the memory location. When the
relocations are fixed at runtime, the difference between the actual
IAT slot value and the IAT slot address is added to the reference,
doing the right thing for both absolute and relative references.
With this patch alone, things work fine for i386 binaries, and mostly
for x86_64 binaries, with feature parity with GNU ld. Despite this,
there are a few gotchas:
- References to data from within code works fine on both x86 architectures,
since their relocations consist of plain 32 or 64 bit absolute/relative
references. On ARM and AArch64, references to data doesn't consist of
a plain 32 or 64 bit embedded address or offset in the code. On ARMNT,
it's usually a MOVW+MOVT instruction pair represented by a
IMAGE_REL_ARM_MOV32T relocation, each instruction containing 16 bit of
the target address), on AArch64, it's usually an ADRP+ADD/LDR/STR
instruction pair with an even more complex encoding, storing a PC
relative address (with a range of +/- 4 GB). This could theoretically
be remedied by extending the runtime pseudo relocation handler with new
relocation types, to support these instruction encodings. This isn't an
issue for GCC/GNU ld since they don't support windows on ARMNT/AArch64.
- For x86_64, if references in code are encoded as 32 bit PC relative
offsets, the runtime relocation will fail if the target turns out to be
out of range for a 32 bit offset.
- Fixing up the relocations at runtime requires making sections writable
if necessary, with the VirtualProtect function. In Windows Store/UWP apps,
this function is forbidden.
These limitations are addressed by a few later patches in lld and
llvm.

With this change, instead of creating a SectionChunk for each section
in the object file, we only create them when we encounter a prevailing
comdat section.
Also change how symbol resolution occurs between comdat symbols. Now
only the comdat leader participates in comdat resolution, and not any
other external associated symbols. This is more in line with how COFF
semantics are defined, and should allow for a more straightforward
implementation of non-ANY comdat types.
On my machine, this change reduces our runtime linking a release
build of chrome_child.dll with /nopdb from 5.65s to 4.54s (median of

this may also fix some latent non-determinism. We iterate the GCRoot

Summary:
In order to do this without switching on the symbol kind multiple times,
I created Defined::getChunkAndOffset and use that instead of
SymbolBody::getRVA in the inner relocation loop.
Now we get the symbol's chunk before switching over relocation types, so
we can test if it has been discarded outside the inner relocation type
switch. This also simplifies application of section relative
relocations. Previously we would switch on symbol kind to compute the
RVA, then the relocation type, and then the symbol kind again to get the
output section so we could subtract that from the symbol RVA. Now we
*always* have an OutputSection, so applying SECREL and SECTION
relocations isn't as much of a special case.
I'm still not quite happy with the cleanliness of this code. I'm not
sure what offsets and bases we should be using during the relocation
processing loop: VA, RVA, or OutputSectionOffset.

Summary:
The main change is that we can have SECREL and SECTION relocations
against ___safe_se_handler_table, which is important for handling the
debug info in the MSVCRT.
Previously we were using DefinedRelative for __safe_se_handler_table and
__ImageBase, and after we implement CFGuard, we plan to extend it to
handle __guard_fids_table, __guard_longjmp_table, and more. However,
DefinedRelative is really only suitable for implementing __ImageBase,
because it lacks a Chunk, which you need in order to figure out the
output section index and output section offset when resolving SECREl and
SECTION relocations.
This change renames DefinedRelative to DefinedSynthetic and gives it a
Chunk. One wart is that __ImageBase doesn't have a chunk. It points to
the PE header, effectively. We could split DefinedRelative and
DefinedSynthetic if we think that's cleaner and creates fewer special
cases.
I also added safeseh.s, which checks that we don't emit a safe seh table
entries pointing to garbage collected handlers and that we don't emit a
table at all when there are no handlers.

Summary:
For SECTION relocations against absolute symbols, MSVC emits the largest
output section index plus one. I've implemented that by threading a
global variable through DefinedAbsolute that is filled in by the Writer.
A more library-oriented approach would be to thread the Writer through
Chunk::writeTo and SectionChunk::applyRel*, but Rui seems to prefer
doing it this way.
MSVC rejects SECREL relocations against absolute symbols, but only when
the relocation is in a real output section. When the relocation is in a
CodeView debug info section destined for the PDB, it seems that this
relocation error is suppressed, and absolute symbols become zeros in the
object file. This is easily implemented by checking the input section
from which we're applying relocations.
This should fix errors about __safe_se_handler_table and
__guard_fids_table when linking the CRT and generating a PDB.

This is a different implementation than r303225 (which was reverted
in r303270, re-submitted in r303304 and then re-reverted in r303527).
In the previous patch, I tried to add Live bit to each dllimported
symbol. It turned out that it didn't work with "oldnames.lib" which
contains a lot of weak aliases to dllimported symbols.
The way we handle weak aliases is to check if undefined symbols
can be resolved using weak aliases, and if so, memcpy the Defined
symbols to weak Undefined symbols, so that any references to weak
aliases automatically see defined symbols instead of undefined ones.
This memcpy happens before MarkLive kicks in.
That means we may have multiple copies of dllimported symbols. So
turning on one instance's Live bit is not enough.
This patch moves the Live bit to dllimport file. Since multiple
copies of dllsymbols still point to the same file, we can use it as the
central repository to keep track of liveness.
