Fangrui Song 60ce444eaa [ELF] Refine section group --gc-sections rules to not discard .debug_types
clang/gcc -fdebug-type-sections places .debug_types and
.rela.debug_types in a section group, with a signature symbol which
represents the type signature. The section group is for deduplication
purposes.

After D70146, we will discard such section groups. Refine the rule so
that we will retain the group if no member has the SHF_ALLOC flag.

GNU ld has a similar rule to retain the group if all members have the
SEC_DEBUGGING flag. We try to be more general for future-proof purposes:
if other non-SHF_ALLOC sections have deduplication needs, they may be
placed in a section group. Don't discard them.
