Commit 728cc0075e made comdat symbols
from LTO objects be treated as any regular comdat symbol. This works
great for symbols that actually are IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ANY, but
if the symbols have a less trivial selection type that require comparing
either the section chunk size or contents, we can't check that before
actually doing the LTO compilation.
Therefore bring back one aspect of handling from before; that comdat
resolution with a leader from an LTO symbol is essentially skipped,
like it was before 728cc0075e.

... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld
which can handle REL.
Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.
`icfEqClass` only makes sense on ConcatInputSections since (in contrast
to literal sections) they are deduplicated as an atomic unit.
Similarly, `hasPersonality` and `replacement` don't make sense on
literal sections.
This mirrors LLD-ELF, which stores `icfEqClass` only on non-mergeable
sections.

We previously did this only for x86_64, but it turns out that
arm64 needs this too -- see PR50791.
Ultimately this is a hack, and we should avoid over-aligning strings
that don't need it. I'm just having a hard time figuring out how ld64 is
determining the right alignment.
No new test for this since we were already testing this behavior for
x86_64, and extending it to arm64 seems too trivial.

Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

"""Bitcode symbols only exist before LTO runs, and only serve the purpose of
resolving visibility so LTO can better optimize. Running LTO creates ObjFiles

This particular linker invocation is only run to check that we accept
options, but we don't inspect the generated command line. As all other
commands in the file have their output piped to FileCheck, the lit test
doesn't print any other output; therefore silence this one for consistency
as well.
This is consistent with how clang prints its internal commands with
-### and -v.
When linking with -verbose, we get log messages from the actual
linking written to stderr. By printing the command to the same stream,
we make sure they appear in a sensible chronological order.

getLineNumber() was counting the number of line feeds from the start of

Store the line number from the last token, and only count the additional

This is run every time around in the main linker loop. Once a match
has been found, stop trying to rematch such a symbol.
Not sure if this has any actual measurable performance impact though
(SymbolTable::findMangle() iterates over the whole symbol table for
each call and does fuzzy matching on top of that) but this makes the
code more reassuring to read at least. (This is in practice run for def
files listing undecorated stdcall functions to be exported.)

Pass the original argv[0] to the coff linker, as the coff linker uses
the basename of argv[0] as the log prefix.
This makes error messages to be printed with a "ld.lld:" prefix
instead of "lld-link:". The current "lld-link:" prefix can be confusing
to users, as they're invoking the MinGW linker (and might not even have
a lld-link executable).
Keep the first argument as lld-link when printing the command line, to

findLibrary() returned a StringRef while findFramework & other helper
functions returned std::strings. Standardize on std::string.
(I initially tried making the helper functions all return StringRefs,
but I realized we shouldn't return input StringRefs since their
lifetimes would not be obvious from the calling code.)
Previously, we asserted that such a case was invalid, but in fact
`ld -r` can emit such symbols if the input contained a (true) private
extern, or if it contained a symbol started with "L".
Non-extern symbols marked as private extern are essentially equivalent
to regular TU-scoped symbols, so no new functionality is needed.

This change revisits https://reviews.llvm.org/D79248 which originally
added support for the --unresolved-symbols flag.
At the time I thought it would make sense to add a third option to this
flag called `import-functions` but it turns out (as was suspects by on
the reviewers IIRC) that this option can be authoganal.
Instead I've added a new option called `--import-undefined` that only
operates on symbols that can be imported (for example, function symbols
can always be imported as opposed to data symbols we can only be
imported when compiling with PIC).
This option gives us the full expresivitiy that emscripten needs to be
able allow reporting of undefined data symbols as well as the option to
disable that.
This change does remove the `--unresolved-symbols=import-functions`
option, which is been in the codebase now for about a year but I would
be extremely surprised if anyone was using it.

ICF = Identical C(ode|OMDAT) Folding
This is the LLD ELF/COFF algorithm, adapted for MachO. So far, only `-icf all` is supported. In order to support `-icf safe`, we will need to port address-significance tables (`.addrsig` directives) to MachO, which will come in later diffs.
`check-{llvm,clang,lld}` have 0 regressions for `lld -icf all` vs. baseline ld64.
We only run ICF on `__TEXT,__text` for reasons explained in the block comment in `ConcatOutputSection.cpp`.
