On MIPS .got section cannot be included into the PT_GNU_RELRO segment.
Sometimes it might work, but in general it is unsupported. One of the
problem is that all sections marked by SHF_MIPS_GPREL should be grouped
together because data in these sections is addressable with a gp
relative address, but such sections might be writable.
This patch exclude mips .got from PT_GNU_RELRO segment and group
SHF_MIPS_GPREL sections.

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.

These MIPS specific symbols should be global because in general they can
have an arbitrary value. By default this value is a fixed offset from .got
section.
This patch adds more checks to the mips-gp-local.s test case but marks
it as XFAIL because LLD does not allow redefinition of absolute symbols
value by a linker script. This should be fixed by D27276.

The _gp_disp symbol designates offset between start of function and 'gp'
pointer into GOT. The following code is a typical MIPS function preamble
used to setup $gp register:
lui $gp, %hi(_gp_disp)
addi $gp, $gp, %lo(_gp_disp)
To calculate R_MIPS_HI16 / R_MIPS_LO16 relocations results we use
the following formulas:
%hi(_gp - P + A)
%lo(_gp - P + A + 4),
where _gp is a value of _gp symbol, A is addend, and P current address.
The R_MIPS_LO16 relocation references _gp_disp symbol is always the second
instruction. That is why we need four byte adjustments. The patch assigns
R_PC type for R_MIPS_LO16 relocation and adjusts its addend by 4. That fix
R_MIPS_LO16 calculation.

This simplifies the code by allowing us to remove the visibility argument
to functions that create synthetic symbols.
The only functional change is that the visibility of the MIPS "_gp" symbol
is now hidden. Because this symbol is defined in every executable or DSO, it
would be difficult to observe a visibility change here.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

The `_gp_disp` is a magic symbol designates offset between start of
function and gp pointer into GOT. Only `R_MIPS_HI16` and `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocations are permitted with `_gp_disp`. The patch adds the `_gp_disp`
as an ignored symbol and adjusts symbol value before call the `relocateOne`
for `R_MIPS_HI16/LO16` relocations.
