Jez Ng 002eda7056 [lld-macho] Associate compact unwind entries with function symbols
Compact unwind entries (CUEs) contain pointers to their respective
function symbols. However, during the link process, it's far more useful
to have pointers from the function symbol to the CUE than vice versa.
This diff adds that pointer in the form of `Defined::compactUnwind`.

In particular, when doing dead-stripping, we want to mark CUEs live when
their function symbol is live; and when doing ICF, we want to dedup
sections iff the symbols in that section have identical CUEs. In both
cases, we want to be able to locate the symbols within a given section,
as well as locate the CUEs belonging to those symbols. So this diff also
adds `InputSection::symbols`.

The ultimate goal of this refactor is to have ICF support dedup'ing
functions with unwind info, but that will be handled in subsequent
diffs. This diff focuses on simplifying `-dead_strip` --
`findFunctionsWithUnwindInfo` is no longer necessary, and
`Defined::isLive()` is now a lot simpler. Moreover, UnwindInfoSection no
longer has to check for dead CUEs -- we simply avoid adding them in the
first place.

Additionally, we now support stripping of dead LSDAs, which follows
quite naturally since `markLive()` can now reach them via the CUEs.

Jez Ng ac2dd06b91 [lld-macho] Deduplicate CFStrings
`__cfstring` is a special literal section, so instead of breaking it up
at symbol boundaries, we break it up at fixed-width boundaries (since
each literal is the same size). Symbols can only occur at one of those
boundaries, so this is strictly more powerful than
`.subsections_via_symbols`.

With that in place, we then run the section through ICF.

This change is about perf-neutral when linking chromium_framework.
