This essentially drops the change by r288021 (discussed with Georgii Rymar
and Peter Smith and noted down in the release note of lld 10).
GNU ld>=2.31 enables -z separate-code by default for Linux x86. By
default (in the absence of a PHDRS command) a readonly PT_LOAD is
created, which is different from its traditional behavior.
Not emulating GNU ld's traditional behavior is good for us because it
improves code consistency (we create a readonly PT_LOAD in the absence
of a SECTIONS command).
Users can add --no-rosegment to restore the previous behavior (combined
readonly and read-executable sections in a single RX PT_LOAD).
Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44903
It is about the following case:
```
SECTIONS {
.foo : { *(.foo) } =0x90909090
/DISCARD/ : { *(.bar) }
}
```
Here while parsing the fill expression we treated the
"/" of "/DISCARD/" as operator.
With this change, suggested by Fangrui Song, we do
not allow expressions with operators (e.g. "0x1100 + 0x22")
that are not wrapped into round brackets. It should not
be an issue for users, but helps to resolve parsing ambiguity.

What the function returns are almost standard BFD names, except that "ELF" is
in uppercase instead of lowercase.
This patch changes "ELF" to "elf" and changes ARM/AArch64 to use their BFD names.
MIPS and PPC64 have endianness differences as well, but this patch does not intend to address them.
Advantages:
* llvm-objdump: the "file format " line matches GNU objdump on ARM/AArch64 objects
* "file format " line can be extracted and fed into llvm-objcopy -O literally.
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/779 has such a use case)

When emitting PDBs, the TypeStreamMerger class is used to merge .debug$T records from the input .OBJ files into the output .PDB stream.
Records in .OBJs are not required to be aligned on 4-bytes, and "The Netwide Assembler 2.14" generates non-aligned records.
When compiling with -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON, an assert was triggered in MergingTypeTableBuilder when non-ghash merging was used.
With ghash merging there was no assert.
As a result, LLD could potentially generate a non-aligned TPI stream.
We now align records on 4-bytes when record indices are remapped, in TypeStreamMerger::remapIndices().

Any OUTPUT_FORMAT in a linker script overrides the emulation passed on
the command line, so record the passed bfdname and use that in the error
message about incompatible input files.
This prevents confusing error messages. For example, if you explicitly
pass `-m elf_x86_64` to LLD but accidentally include a linker script
which sets `OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)`, LLD would previously complain
about your input files being compatible with elf_x86_64, which isn't the
actual issue, and is confusing because the input files are in fact
x86-64 ELF files.
Interestingly enough, this also prevents a segfault! When we don't pass
`-m` and we have an object file which is incompatible with the
`OUTPUT_FORMAT` set by a linker script, the object file is checked for
compatibility before it's added to the objectFiles vector.
config->emulation, objectFiles, and sharedFiles will all be empty, so
we'll attempt to access bitcodeFiles[0], but bitcodeFiles is also empty,
so we'll segfault. This commit prevents the segfault by adding
OUTPUT_FORMAT as a possible source of machine configuration, and it also
adds an llvm_unreachable to diagnose similar issues in the future.

See `docs/ELF/linker_script.rst` for the new computation for sh_addr and sh_addralign.
`ALIGN(section_align)` now means: "increase alignment to section_align"
(like yet another input section requirement).
The "start of section .foo changes from 0x11 to 0x20" warning no longer
makes sense. Change it to warn if sh_addr%sh_addralign!=0.
To decrease the alignment from the default max_input_align,
use `.output ALIGN(8) : {}` instead of `.output : ALIGN(8) {}`
See linkerscript/section-address-align.test as an example.
When both an output section address and ALIGN are set (can be seen as an
"undefined behavior" https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2020-03/msg00115.html),
lld may align more than GNU ld, but it makes a linker script working
with GNU ld hard to break with lld.
This patch can be considered as restoring part of the behavior before D74736.

Summary:
Places orphan sections into a unique output section. This prevents the merging of orphan sections of the same name.
Matches behaviour of GNU ld --unique. --unique=pattern is not implemented.
Motivated user case shown in the test has 2 local symbols as they would appear if C++ source has been compiled with -ffunction-sections. The merging of these sections in the case of a partial link (-r) may limit the effectiveness of -gc-sections of a subsequent link.

The new behavior matches GNU objdump. A pair of angle brackets makes tests slightly easier.
`.foo:` is not unique and thus cannot be used in a `CHECK-LABEL:` directive.
Without `-LABEL`, the CHECK line can match the `Disassembly of section`

And similarly, adds a `Name:` field to the `llvm-readobj -n` output for notes.
This change not only increases GNU compatibility, it also makes it much easier to read notes. Note that we still fall back to printing the file offset/length in cases where we don't have a section name, such as when printing notes in program headers or printing notes in a partially stripped file (GNU readelf does the same).

MC will now output the R_ARM_THM_PC8, R_ARM_THM_PC12 and
R_ARM_THM_PREL_11_0 relocations. These are short-ranged relocations that
are used to implement the adr rd, literal and ldr rd, literal pseudo
instructions.
The instructions use a new RelExpr called R_ARM_PCA in order to calculate
the required S + A - Pa expression, where Pa is AlignDown(P, 4) as the
instructions add their immediate to AlignDown(PC, 4). We also do not want
these relocations to generate or resolve against a PLT entry as the range
of these relocations is so short they would never reach.
The R_ARM_THM_PC8 has a special encoding convention for the relocation
addend, the immediate field is unsigned, yet the addend must be -4 to
account for the Thumb PC bias. The ABI (not the architecture) uses the
convention that the 8-byte immediate of 0xff represents -4.

* alignExpr: the computed ALIGN value
* max_input_align: the maximum of input section alignments
This patch changes the following two cases to match GNU ld:
* When ALIGN is present, GNU ld sets output sh_addr to alignExpr, while lld use max(alignExpr, max_input_align)
* When addrExpr is specified but alignExpr is not, GNU ld sets output sh_addr to addrExpr, while lld uses `advance(0, max_input_align)`
Note, sh_addralign is still set to max(alignExpr, max_input_align).
lma-align.test is enhanced a bit to check we don't overalign sh_addr.
