"Discarded" section is a marker for discarded sections, and we do not
use the instance except for checking its identity. In that sense, it
is just another type of a "null" pointer for InputSectionBase. So,
it doesn't have to be a real instance of InputSectionBase class.
In this patch, we no longer instantiate Discarded section but instead
use -1 as a pointer value. This eliminates a global variable which
needed initialization at startup.

This is a preparation for ICF. If we merge two sections, we want to
align the merged section at the largest alignment requirement.
That means we want to update the alignment value, which was
impossible before this patch because Header is a const value.

This test is flaky for more than half a year or so on buildbots
and has been causing confusion. Remove it while I'm investing the
cause.

There is nothing aarch64 specific in here. If a symbol can be preempted,
we need to copy the full relocation to the dynamic linker.
If a symbol cannot be preempted, we can make the dynamic linker life
easier and produce a relative relocation.
This is directly equivalent to R_X86_64_64 to R_x86_64_RELATIVE
conversion.

The .tbss section is in the middle of a PT_LOAD. Whatever treatment we
give to its address we must also give to the offset.
We were ignoring it for address computations, but not for offset.
Fixes pr26712.

This patch moves BitcodeFile instantiation into createObjectFile.
Previously, we handle bitcode files outside that function and did
not handle for --whole-archive.

This patch fixes the R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocation when used in shared mode,
where it requires a dynamic R_AARCH64_RELATIVE relocation. To correct set
the addend on the dynamic relocation (since it will be used by the dynamic
linker), a new TargetInfo specific hook was created (getDynRelativeAddend)
to get the correct addend based on relocation type.
The patch fixes the issues when creating shared library code against
{init,fini}_array, where it issues R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocation against
local symbols.

When link-time garbage collection is in use (-gc-sections), it is
often useful to mark sections that should not be eliminated.
This is accomplished by surrounding an input section's wildcard
entry with KEEP(). Patch implements that command.

A weak undefined should not fetch archive members, so we have to keep
the Lazy symbol.
That means the lazy symbol has to encode information about the original
weak undef.
Fixes pr25762.

This reduces the .rodata of scyladb from 4501932 to 4334639 bytes (1.038
times smaller).
I don't think it is critical to support tail merging, just exact
duplicates, but given the code organization it was actually a bit easier
to support both.

Previously, we added garbage-collected symbols to the symbol table
and filter them out when we were writing symbols to the file. In
this patch, garbage-collected symbols are filtered out from beginning.

Each rule in SECTIONS commands is something like ".foo *(.baz.*)",
which instructs the linker to collect all sections whose name matches
".baz.*" from all files and put them into .foo section.
Previously, we didn't recognize the wildcard character. This patch
adds that feature.
Performance impact is a bit concerning because a linker script can
contain hundreds of SECTIONS rules, and doing pattern matching against
each rule would be too expensive. We could merge all patterns into
single DFA so that it takes O(n) to the input size. However, it is
probably too much at this moment -- we don't know whether the
performance of pattern matching matters or not. So I chose to
implement the simplest algorithm in this patch. I hope this simple
pattern matcher is sufficient.

This patch adds some TLS relocations and relaxations for AArch64.
Some Global-Dynamic relocation are handled by optimizing them to
Local-Exec (Initial-Exec is not yet supported). They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADR_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_LD64_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADD_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL
Also some Init-Exec is optimized to Local-Exec if possible. They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_ADR_GOTTPREL_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_LD64_GOTTPREL_LO12_NC
Finally some Local-Exec relocation are handled in relocateOne:
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_HI12
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_LO12_NC
This work is mainly for compiler bootstrap, where static binaries is
showing good progress (although shared object still lacking support
from both TLS aarch64 backend and some other issues).

Previously, if both A and B are ".ctors", both compCtors(A, B) and
compCtors(B, A) are true, which is a violation of the strict weak
ordering because such function is not antisymmetric.
