Only called once. Moving to OutputSections.cpp can make it inlined.
finalizeInputSections can be very hot, especially in -O1 links with much debug info.
Everyone uses -l -L instead of the long option counterparts.
Make help messages attach to -L -l and (--reproduce) use them for response.txt

Calling `Allocate` with 0 size (when .symtab is absent, e.g.
`invalid/mips-invalid-options-descriptor.test`) may return a nullptr, which will
crash with -fsanitize=null (the underlying `Allocate` function is
LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL).
The SHT_GNU_version index is 16-bit, so the 32-bit value is a waste.
Technically non-default version index 0x7fff uses version index 0xffff,
but it is impossible in practice.
This change decreases sizeof(SymbolUnion) from 80 to 72 on ELF64 platforms.
Memory usage decreases by 1% when linking a large executable.
For large applications that write to map files, writing map files can take quite
a bit of time. Sorting the biggest contributors to link times, writing map files
ranks in at 2nd place, with load input files being the biggest contributor of
link times. Avoiding writing map files on the critical path (and having its own
thread) saves ~2-3 seconds when linking chromium framework on a 16-Core
Intel Xeon W.

* Avoid the name truncation quirk in SymbolTable::insert: the truncated name will be replaced by @@ again.
* Allow foo and foo@@v1 in different files to be diagnosed as duplicate definition error (GNU ld behavior)
* Avoid potential redundant strlen on symbol name due to StringRefZ in ObjFile<ELFT>::initializeSymbols
Sorting the prefixes by decreasing frequency can improve performance.
.gcc_except_table is relatively frequent, so move it ahead.
.ctors and .dtors mostly disappear and should be the last.
SHT_GNU_verdef is typically small, so it's unnecessary to reserve the vector.
While here, fix a hypothetical issue when SHT_GNU_verdef has non-increasing
version indexes, which don't happen with GNU ld, gold, ld.lld's output.
My x86-64 lld executable is 256 bytes smaller.
sizeof(ObjFile<ELF64LE>) is decreased from 344 to 272 on an ELF64 system.
In a large link with 30000 ObjFiles, this may be 2+MiB saving.
Change std::vector members to SmallVector, and std::string members to
SmallString<0> (these members typically don't benefit from small string optimization).
On Linux x86-64 the lld executable is ~6k smaller.
(Fixed an issue about GOT on a copy relocated alias.)
(Fixed an issue about not creating r_addend=0 IRELATIVE for unreferenced non-preemptible ifunc.)
The idea is to make scanRelocations mark some actions are needed (GOT/PLT/etc)
and postpone the real work to postScanRelocations. It gives some flexibility:
* Make it feasible to support .plt.got (PR32938): we need to know whether GLOB_DAT and JUMP_SLOT are both needed.
* Make non-preemptible IFUNC handling slightly cleaner: avoid setting/clearing sym.gotInIgot
* -z nocopyrel: report all copy relocation places for one symbol
* Make GOT deduplication feasible
* Make parallel relocation scanning feasible (if we can avoid all stateful operations and make Symbol attributes atomic), but parallelism may not be the appealing choice
Since this patch moves a large chunk of code out of ELFT templates. My x86-64
executable is actually a few hundred bytes smaller.

needsPltAddr is equivalent to `needsCopy && isFunc`. In many places, it is

This reverts commit fc33861d48.
`replaceWithDefined` should copy needsGot, otherwise an alias for a copy
relocated symbol may not have GOT entry if its needsGot was originally true.
lld only needs DIContext.h which it gets through Symbolize.h -> SymbolizableModule.h -> DIContext.h. This replaces it with a direct include of DIContext.h to avoid any confusion and pulling in unnecessary headers.

An unstable sort suffices. In a large link (11.06s), this decreases .rela.dyn
writeTo time from 1.52s to 0.81s, resulting in 6% total time speedup (the
benefit will greatly dilute if --pack-dyn-relocs=relr becomes prevailing).
Encoding the dynamic relocations then sorting raw Elf_Rel/Elf_Rela doesn't seem
to improve much (doing that would require code duplicate because of
Elf_Rel/Elf_Rela plus unfortunate mips64le), so don't do that.
1. After D113241, we have the section address easily accessible and no
longer need to iterate across the LC_SEGMENT commands to emit
LC_DATA_IN_CODE.
2. There's no need to store a pointer to the data in code entries during
the parse step; we can just look it up as part of the output step.
