On PowerPC calls to functions through the plt must be done through a call stub
that is responsible for:
1) Saving the toc pointer to the stack.
2) Loading the target functions address from the plt into both r12 and the
count register.
3) Indirectly branching to the target function.
Previously we have been emitting these call stubs to the .plt section, however
the .plt section should be reserved for the lazy symbol resolution stubs. This
patch moves the call stubs to the text section by moving the implementation from
writePlt to the thunk framework.

A short thunk uses a direct branch (b or b.w) instruction, and is used
when the target has the same thumbness as the thunk and is within
direct branch range (32MB for ARM, 16MB for Thumb-2). Reduces the
size of Chromium for Android's .text section by around 160KB.

The AArch64 unconditional branch and branch and link instructions have a
maximum range of 128 Mib. This is usually enough for most programs but
there are cases when it isn't enough. This change adds support for range
extension thunks to AArch64. For pc-relative thunks we follow the small
code model and use ADRP, ADD, BR. This has a limit of 4 gigabytes.

This change allows Thunks to be added on multiple passes. To do this we must
merge only the thunks added in each pass, and deal with thunks that have
drifted out of range of their callers.
A thunk may end out of range of its caller if enough thunks are added in
between the caller and the thunk. To handle this we create another thunk.

This change adds initial support for range extension thunks. All thunks must
be created within the first pass so some corner cases are not supported. A
follow up patch will add support for multiple passes.
With this change the existing tests arm-branch-error.s and
arm-thumb-branch-error.s now no longer fail with an out of range branch.
These have been renamed and tests added for the range extension thunk.

Summary:
The COFF linker and the ELF linker have long had similar but separate
Error.h and Error.cpp files to implement error handling. This change
introduces new error handling code in Common/ErrorHandler.h, changes the
COFF and ELF linkers to use it, and removes the old, separate
implementations.

We were using uint32_t as the type of relocation kind. It has a
readability issue because what Type really means in `uint32_t Type`
is not obvious. It could be a section type, a symbol type or a
relocation type.
Since we do not do any arithemetic operations on relocation types
(e.g. adding one to R_X86_64_PC32 doesn't make sense), it would be
more natural if they are represented as enums. Unfortunately, that
is not doable because relocation type definitions are spread into
multiple header files.
So I decided to use typedef. This still should be better than the
plain uint32_t because the intended type is now obvious.

If symbol has the STO_MIPS_MICROMIPS flag and requires a thunk to perform
call PIC from non-PIC functions, we need to generate a thunk with microMIPS
code.

For ARM thunks, the `movt` half of the relocation was using an incorrect
offset (it was off by 4 bytes). The original intent seems to have been
for the offset to have been relative to the current instruction, in
which case the difference of 4 makes sense. As the code stands, however,
the offset is always calculated relative to the start of the thunk
(`P`), and so the `movw` and `movt` halves should use the same offset.
This requires a very particular offset between the thunk and its target
to be triggered, and it results in the `movt` half of the relocation
being off-by-one.
The tests here use ARM-Thumb interworking thunks, since those are the
only ARM thunks currently implemented. I actually encountered this with
a range extension thunk (having Peter's patches cherry-picked locally),
but the underlying issue is identical.

On ARM the interworking thunks are only produced for branch instructions
that can't be changed into a blx instruction so only Thumb callers would
call Thumb thunks and only ARM callers would call ARM thunks. With range
extension thunks branch and link instructions may need a Thunk. These
instructions can be rewritten as a blx and can use either ARM or Thumb
thunks.
We introduce an isCompatibleWith() function so that a caller can check if
an existing Thunk is compatible before reusing it.

The existing names for the ARM and Thumb Thunks highlight their current
use as interworking Thunks. These Thunks can also be used for range
extension Thunks where there is no state change. This change makes the name
more generic so it is suitable for range extension.

We had a few Config member functions that returns configuration values.
For example, we had is64() which returns true if the target is 64-bit.
The return values of these functions are constant and never change.
This patch is to compute them only once to make it clear that they'll
never change.

With the current design an InputSection is basically anything that
goes directly in a OutputSection. That includes plain input section
but also synthetic sections, so this should probably not be a
template.

Thunks are now implemented by redirecting the relocation to the
symbol S, to a symbol TS in a Thunk. The Thunk will transfer control
to S. This has the following implications:
- All the side-effects of Thunks happen within createThunks()
- Thunks are no longer stored in InputSections and Symbols no longer
need to hold a pointer to a Thunk
- The synthetic Thunk sections need to be merged into OutputSections
This implementation is almost a direct conversion of the existing
Thunks with the following exceptions:
- Mips LA25 Thunks are placed before the InputSection that defines
the symbol that needs a Thunk.
- All ARM Thunks are placed at the end of the OutputSection of the
first caller to the Thunk.
Range extension Thunks are not supported yet so it is optimistically
assumed that all Thunks can be reused.
This is a recommit of r293283 with a fixed comparison predicate as
std::merge requires a strict weak ordering.

In a shared library an undefined symbol is implicitly imported. If the
symbol is called as a function a PLT entry is generated for it. When the
caller is a Thumb b.w a thunk to the PLT entry is needed as all PLT
entries are in ARM state.
This change allows undefined symbols to have thunks in the same way that
shared symbols may have thunks.

I thought for a while about how to remove it, but it looks like we
can just copy the file for now. Of course I'm not happy about that,
but it's just less than 50 lines of code, and we already have
duplicate code in Error.h and some other places. I want to solve
them all at once later.

This is what InputSectionBase<ELFT>::relocate does and we need to be

appropriated. That would require extending the target interface.
