After Mark's patch I was wondering what was the rationale for the ELF
spec requiring us to merge only sections with matching flags and
types. I tried emailing
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/generic-abi, but looks like my
emails are not being posted (the list is probably moderated). I
emailed Cary Coutant instead.
Cary pointed out that the section was a late addition and didn't got
the scrutiny it deserved. Given that and the problems found by
implementing the letter of the standard, I propose changing lld to
merge all sections with the same name and issue errors if the types or
some critical flags are different.
This should allow an unmodified firefox linked with lld to run.
This also merges some code with the linkerscript path.

This change continues what was started by D27040
Now all allocatable synthetics should be available from script side.

This is important for cases like:
.sdata : {
*(.got.plt .got)
...
}
That was not supported before as there was no way to get access to
synthetic sections from script.

This script below shouldn't include file and program headers
to PT_LOAD segment, because it doesn't have PHDRS and FILEHDR
attributes:
PHDRS { all PT_LOAD; }
SECTIONS { /* list of sections here */ }

Linker scripts may specify PHDRS, but not specify section to
segment assignments, i.e:
PHDRS { seg PT_LOAD; }
SECTIONS {
.sec1 {} : seg
.sec2 {}
}
In such case linker should still choose some segment for .sec2 section.
This patch will add .sec2 to previously opened segments (seg) or to the
very first PT_LOAD segment, if no section-to-segment assignments has been
made

Both gold and ld accepts integers instead of named constants
for PHDRS.
Patch adds support for that.

Previously we combined sections by name if linkerscript was used.
For that we had to disable SHF_MERGE handling temporarily, but then
found that implementing it properly will require additional complexity layers like
subsections or something.
At the same time looks we can live with multiple output sections approach for now.
That patch do this change.
