One place where this seems to matter is to make sure the .rsrc section comes
after .text. The Win32 UpdateResource() function can change the contents of
.rsrc. It will move the sections that come after, but if .text gets moved, the
entry point header will not get updated and the executable breaks. This was
found by a test in Chromium.

This effectively reverts r318548 and r318635 while keeping the
functionality behind the flag and preserving the bug fix from r318548.

Now that our support for PDB emission is reasonably good, there is
no longer a need to emit a COFF symbol table.
Also fix a bug where we would fail to emit a string table for long
section names if /debug was not specified.

This ports the ELF linker's symbol table design, introduced in r268178,
to the COFF linker.

The IMAGE_FILE_HEADER structure contains a (RVA, size) to an array of
COFF_DEBUG_DIRECTORY records. Each one of these records contains an RVA to a OMF
Debug Directory. These OMF debug directories are derived into newer types such
as PDB70, PDB20, etc. This constructs a PDB70 structure which will allow us to
associate a GUID with a build to actually tie debug information.

This is an LLD extension to MSVC link.exe command line. MSVC linker
does not write symbol tables for executables. We do unless no /debug
option is given.
There's a situation that we want to enable debug info but don't want
to emit the symbol table. One example is when we are comparing output
file size. With this patch, you can tell the linker to not create
a symbol table by just specifying /nosymtab.

Only live symbols are written to the symbol table. Because isLive()
returned false if dead-stripping was disabled entirely, only
non-COMDAT sections were written to the symbol table. This patch fixes
the issue.

Providing a symbol table in the executable is quite useful when
debugging a fully-linked executable without having to reconstruct one
from DWARF.
