construct does not work because commons are allocated before section placement

This patch changes the allocation of commons to create a section per common

The default padding for an executable segment is the target trap
instruction which for x86_64 is 0xCC. However, the .eh_frame section
requires the padding to be zero. The code that writes the .eh_frame
section assumes that its segment is zero initialized and does not
explicitly write the zero padding. This does not work when the .eh_frame
section is in the executable segment (for example when using
-no-rosegment).
This patch changes the .eh_frame writing code to explicitly write the
zero padding.

-F name
--filter=name
When creating an ELF shared object, set the internal DT_FILTER field to the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol table of the shared object which is being created should be used as a filter on the symbol table of the shared object name.
If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you run the program, the dynamic linker will see the DT_FILTER field. The dynamic linker will resolve symbols according to the symbol table of the filter object as usual, but it will actually link to the definitions found in the shared object name. Thus the filter object can be used to select a subset of the symbols provided by the object name.
(https://linux.die.net/man/1/ld).

Before InputSectionBase had an OutputSection pointer, but that was not

clang produces single entry here:
0x0000d291 EXTERNAL TYPE "std::__success_type<void *>"
If we link output from gcc with LLD, that would produce excessive duplicate

This reduces how many times we have to map from OutputSection to

GetSection is a template because write calls relocate.
relocate has two parts. The non alloc code really has to be a
template, as it is looking a raw input file data.
The alloc part is only a template because of getSize.
This patch folds the value of getSize early, detemplates
getRelocTargetVA and splits relocate into a templated non alloc case
and a regular function for the alloc case. This has the nice advantage
of making sure we collect all the information we need for relocations
before getting to InputSection::relocateNonAlloc.
Since we know got is alloc, it can just call the function directly and
avoid the template.

We should only ever expect this function to return a regular
InputSection; I would not expect a function definition to be in a

in writeTo if this function returned a section that was not an
InputSection because we do not set OutSec for such sections.
This can happen in practice if a function is defined in an empty
section which shares its offset-in-file with a MergeInputSection,
as in the provided test case.
A better fix for this bug would be to fix the
DWARFUnit::collectAddressRanges() interface to provide section
information (see D33183), but this at least fixes the crash.

Executable sections should not be padded with zero by default. On some
architectures, 0x00 is the start of a valid instruction sequence, so can confuse
disassembly between InputSections (and indeed the start of the next InputSection
in some situations). Further, in the case of misjumps into padding, padding may
start to be executed silently.
On x86, the "0xcc" byte represents the int3 trap instruction. It is a single
byte long so can serve well as padding. This change switches x86 (and x86_64) to
use this value for padding in executable sections, if no linker script directive
overrides it. It also puts the behaviour into place making it easy to change the
behaviour of other targets when desired. I do not know the relevant instruction
sequences for trap instructions on other targets however, so somebody should add
this separately.
Because the old behaviour simply wrote padding in the whole section before
overwriting most of it, this change also modifies the padding algorithm to write
padding only where needed. This in turn has caused a small behaviour change with
regards to what values are written via Fill commands in linker scripts, bringing
it into line with ld.bfd. The fill value is now written starting from the end of
the previous block, which means that it always starts from the first byte of the
fill, whereas the old behaviour meant that the padding sometimes started mid-way
through the fill value. See the test changes for more details.

Looks like .gdb.index and its support classes do things that they don't

GdbHashTab class is a hash table class. Just like other in-memory hash
tables, that incrementally updates its internal data and resizes buckets
as new elements are added so that key lookup is always fast.
But that is completely not necessary.
Unlike debuggers, we only produce hash tables for .gdb.index and
never read them. So incrementally updating a hash table in memory is
just a waste of resource and complicates the code. What we should
