Fangrui Song ee9a251caf [ELF] Set DF_1_PIE for -pie
DF_1_PIE originated from Solaris (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36857/chapter6-42444.html ).
GNU ld since
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=5fe2850dd96483f176858fd75c098313d5b20bc2
sets the flag on non-Solaris platforms.

It can help distinguish PIE from ET_DYN.
eu-classify from elfutils uses this to recognize PIE (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=3f489b5c7c78df6d52f8982f79c36e9a220e8951 )

glibc uses this flag to reject dlopen'ing a PIE (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24323 )

Fangrui Song 0264950697 [ELF] Add -z separate-loadable-segments to complement separate-code and noseparate-code
D64906 allows PT_LOAD to have overlapping p_offset ranges. In the
default R RX RW RW layout + -z noseparate-code case, we do not tail pad
segments when transiting to another segment. This can save at most
3*maxPageSize bytes.

a) Before D64906, we tail pad R, RX and the first RW.
b) With -z separate-code, we tail pad R and RX, but not the first RW (RELRO).

In some cases, b) saves one file page. In some cases, b) wastes one
virtual memory page. The waste is a concern on Fuchsia. Because it uses
compressed binaries, it doesn't benefit from the saved file page.

This patch adds -z separate-loadable-segments to restore the behavior before
D64906. It can affect section addresses and can thus be used as a
debugging mechanism (see PR43214 and ld.so partition bug in
crbug.com/998712).
