Currently, when reporting unresolved symbols in shared libraries, if an
undefined symbol is firstly seen in a regular object file that shadows
the reference for the same symbol in a shared object. As a result, the
error for the unresolved symbol in the shared library is not reported.
If referencing sections in regular object files are discarded because of
'--gc-sections', no reports about such symbols are generated, and the
linker finishes successfully, generating an output image that fails on
the run.
The patch fixes the issue by keeping symbols, which should be checked,
for each shared library separately.

As mentioned in https://reviews.llvm.org/D67479#1667256 ,
* `--[no-]allow-shlib-undefined` control the diagnostic for an unresolved symbol in a shared object
* `-z defs/-z undefs` control the diagnostic for an unresolved symbol in a regular object file
* `--unresolved-symbols=` controls both bits.
In addition, make --warn-unresolved-symbols affect --no-allow-shlib-undefined.
This patch makes the behavior match GNU ld.

--no-allow-shlib-undefined (enabled by default when linking an
executable) rejects unresolved references in shared objects.
Users may be confused by the common diagnostics of unresolved symbols in
object files (LLD: "undefined symbol: foo"; GNU ld/gold: "undefined reference to")
Learn from GCC/clang " [-Wfoo]": append the option name to the
diagnostics. Users can find relevant information by searching
"--no-allow-shlib-undefined". It should also be obvious to them that
the positive form --allow-shlib-undefined can suppress the error.
Also downgrade the error to a warning if --noinhibit-exec is used (compatible
with GNU ld and gold).

Summary:
This follows the ld.bfd/gold behavior.
The error check is useful as it captures a common type of ld.so undefined symbol errors as link-time errors:
// a.cc => a.so (not linked with -z defs)
void f(); // f is undefined
void g() { f(); }
// b.cc => executable with a DT_NEEDED entry on a.so
void g();
int main() { g(); }
// ld.so errors when g() is executed (lazy binding) or when the program is started (-z now)
// symbol lookup error: ... undefined symbol: f

Summary:
In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when linking
an executable. This patch implements a check to error on undefined
symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries are seen.
Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance to
be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates the
behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases).
The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from undefined
reference errors issued for relocations. It is most effective when there
are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g. when static sanitizers
runtime is used).
gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have
spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be
excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The
story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the
default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the
future.

Noticed while testing for an out of tree target. There are probably more tests that should be so marked.
I'm not sure who owns these tests so I've added a few names I recognise from the recent history.
With advice from probinson, ruiu, rafael and dramatically improved by davidb. Thank you all!

When R_X86_64_PC32/R_X86_64_32 relocations are
used against preemptible symbol and output is position independent,
error should be generated.
