The order file indicates how input sections should be sorted within each
output section, based on the symbols contained within those sections.
This diff sets the stage for implementing and testing
`.subsections_via_symbols`, where we will break up InputSections by each
symbol and sort them more granularly.

Summary:
1. Don't have isHidden() depend on isNeeded(). Whether a section is
hidden is orthogonal from whether it is needed: hidden sections will
never have a header regardless of whether they have a body. (I know we
override this method with return false for synthetic sections, but
regardless I think it's confusing to write it this way for non-synthetic
sections.)
2. Don't call writeTo() on unneeded sections. D78270 assumes that this
is true when implementing the stub helper section.
3. Filter out the unneeded sections early on to avoid having to deal
with them in multiple places.
4. Remove assumption in test that the referenced file has no other symbols.
(We should create separate input files for future tests to avoid such
issues.)

Summary: Similar to other formats, input sections in the MachO
implementation are now grouped under output sections. This is primarily
a refactor, although there's some new logic (like resolving the output
section's flags based on its inputs).

Previously, the special segments `__PAGEZERO` and `__LINKEDIT` were
implemented as special LoadCommands. This diff implements them using
special sections instead which have an `isHidden()` attribute. We do not
emit section headers for hidden sections, but we use their addresses and
file offsets to determine that of their containing segments. In addition
to allowing us to share more segment-related code, this refactor is also
important for the next step of emitting dylibs:
1) dylibs don't have segments like __PAGEZERO, so we need an easy way of
omitting them w/o messing up segment indices
2) Unlike the kernel, which is happy to run an executable with
out-of-order segments, dyld requires dylibs to have their segment
load commands arranged in increasing address order. The refactor
makes it easier to implement sorting of sections and segments.

Summary:
This is the first commit for the new Mach-O backend, designed to roughly
follow the architecture of the existing ELF and COFF backends, and
building off work that @ruiu and @pcc did in a branch a while back. Note
that this is a very stripped-down commit with the bare minimum of
functionality for ease of review. We'll be following up with more diffs
soon.
Currently, we're able to generate a simple "Hello World!" executable
that runs on OS X Catalina (and possibly on earlier OS X versions; I
haven't tested them). (This executable can be obtained by compiling
`test/MachO/relocations.s`.) We're mocking out a few load commands to
achieve this -- for example, we can't load dynamic libraries, but
Catalina requires binaries to be linked against `dyld`, so we hardcode
the emission of a `LC_LOAD_DYLIB` command. Other mocked out load
commands include LC_SYMTAB and LC_DYSYMTAB.
