This patch adds --thread option and use parallel_for_each to write
sections in regular OutputSections.
This is the first patch to use more than one threads.
Note that --thread is off by default because it is experimental.
At this moment I still want to focus on single thread performance
because multi-threading is not a magic wand to fix performance
problems after all. It is generally very hard to make a slow program
faster by threads. Therefore, I want to make the linker as efficient
as possible first and then look for opportunity to make it even faster
using more than one core.
Here are some numbers to link programs with and without --threads
and using GNU gold. Numbers are in seconds.
Clang
w/o --threads 0.697
w --threads 0.528
gold 1.643
Scylla
w/o --threads 5.032
w --threads 4.935
gold 6.791
GNU gold
w/o --threads 0.550
w --threads 0.551
gold 0.737
I limited the number of cores these processes can use to 4 using
perf command, so although my machine has 20 physical cores, the
performance gain I observed should be reproducible with a machine
which is not as beefy as mine.

This is reduced from an issue found in practice.
The original version of D18012 needed another patch to handle this, but
it now works since we are using a more correct GV->hasAppendingLinkage()
check that Rafael suggested.
This is what remains of that other patch.

Summary:
More generally, appending linkage is a special case that we don't want
to create a SymbolBody for.

We can argue about a maximum alignment of a group of symbols,
but for each symbol, there is only one alignment.
So it is a bit weird that each symbol has a "maximum alignment".

R_X86_64_DTPOFF64 was not handled properly.
Next sample app was impossible to link before this patch:
~/pg/release/bin/clang -target x86_64-pc-linux testthread.cpp -c -g
~/pg/d+a/bin/ld.lld testthread.o
"Unknown TLS optimization" (value was 17)
__thread int x = 0;
void _start() {
}
It works fine now.

It looks a bit wierd that we have to initialize symbols for all ELFT
types when we use only one ELFT for link. We can only init those
that we need. Patch fixes it.

Original commit message:
[ELF] - Consistent spelling for error/warning messages
Previously error and warnings were not consistent in lld.
Some of them started from lowercase letter, others from
uppercase. Also there was one or two which had a dot at the end.
This patch changes all messages to start from uppercase letter if
they were not before.

Summary:
This implements another part of -save-temps.
After this, the only remaining part is dumping the optimized bitcode. But
currently LLD's LTO doesn't have a non-intrusive place to put this.
Eventually we probably will and it will make sense to add it then.

Summary:
This is useful for debugging issues with LTO.
The option follows the analogous option in ld64 and the gold plugin (per
Rafael's suggestion).
For starters, this only dumps the combined bitcode file.
In a future patch I will add dumping for the .o file.
The naming of the output follows ld64's convention which is slightly more
consistent IMO (consistent `.lto.<extension>` for all the files).

Summary:
At the very least we hit
Assertion failed: (((Flags & RF_HaveUnmaterializedMetadata) || Node->isResolved()) && "Unexpected unresolved node"), function MapMetadataImpl, file /Users/Sean/pg/llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils/ValueMapper.cpp, line 375.
on the included test case.
We currently do things like parse the module twice to keep the
implementation minimal. I think it makes sense to add start with eager
loading for similar reasons.

Each object file compiled in split stack mode will have an empty
section with a special name: .note.GNU-split-stack
We don't support this in linker now, so patch just adds an error out for that.

Summary:
Is there any other code needed for correctly handling appending linkage?
Do we need to do something more with @llvm.global_ctors in
SymbolTable.cpp:addBitcodeFile; otherwise the combined bitcode module
won't have all the global ctors.

Summary:
This causes the issue in PR26872 to go away now that we aren't creating
symbols for the string literals, but that may just be concealing a
deeper problem, so best to keep that PR open.

It was a badly specified hack for when a tls relocation should be
propagated to the dynamic relocation table.
This replaces it with a not as bad hack of saying that a local dynamic
tls relocation is never preempted.
I will try to remove even that second hack in the next patch.

It was causing errors like
/lib/libc.so.6 is incompatible with elf_x86_64
when linking on Fedora.
Every system has different default paths. It seems better to just trust
the driver to pass the correct -L options.
This reverts commit 262910.

The variables corresponding to command line options are named mechanically.
Because the option for the variable is -noinhibit-exec and not -no-inhibit-exec,
it should be name this way.
