The new `lazy` state is the inverse of the previous `LazyObjFile::extracted`.
There are many advantages:
* previously when a LazyObjFile was extracted, a new ObjFile/BitcodeFile was created; now the file is reused, just with `lazy` cleared
* avoid the confusing transfer of `symbols` from LazyObjFile to the new file
* the `incompatible file:` diagnostic is unified with `is incompatible with`
* simpler code, smaller executable (6200+ bytes smaller on x86-64)
* make eager parsing feasible (for parallel section/symbol table initialization)
Currently the singleton `config` is assigned by `config = make<Configuration>()`
and (if `canExitEarly` is false) destroyed by `lld::freeArena`.
`make<Configuration>` allocates a stab with `malloc(4096)`. This both wastes
memory and bloats the executable (every type instantiates `BumpPtrAllocator`
which costs more than 1KiB code on x86-64).
(No need to worry about `clang::no_destroy`. Regular invocations (`canExitEarly`
is true) call `_Exit` via llvm::sys::Process::ExitNoCleanup.)

Older Go cmd/link used SHT_PROGBITS for .init_array .
Work around the lack of https://golang.org/cl/373734 for a while.
It does not generate .fini_array or .preinit_array
When linking a 1.2G output (nearly no debug info, 2846621 dynamic relocations) using `--threads=8`, I measured
```
9.131462 Total ExecuteLinker
1.449913 Total Write output file
1.445784 Total Write sections
0.657152 Write sections {"detail":".rela.dyn"}
```
This change decreases the .rela.dyn time to 0.25, leading to 4% speed up in the total time.
* The parallelSort is slow because of expensive r_sym/r_offset computation. Cache the values.
* The iteration is slow. Move r_sym/r_addend computation ahead of time and parallelize it.
With the change, the new encodeDynamicReloc is cheap (0.05s). So no need to parallelize it.

This decreases struct sizes and usually decreases the lld executable
size (39KiB for my x86-64 executable) (unless in some cases smaller
SmallVector leads to more inlining, e.g. StringTableBuilder).
For --gdb-index, there may be memory usage saving.
Only called once. Moving to OutputSections.cpp can make it inlined.
finalizeInputSections can be very hot, especially in -O1 links with much debug info.
Everyone uses -l -L instead of the long option counterparts.
Make help messages attach to -L -l and (--reproduce) use them for response.txt
command line options.
Calling `Allocate` with 0 size (when .symtab is absent, e.g.
`invalid/mips-invalid-options-descriptor.test`) may return a nullptr, which will
crash with -fsanitize=null (the underlying `Allocate` function is
LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL).
The SHT_GNU_version index is 16-bit, so the 32-bit value is a waste.
Technically non-default version index 0x7fff uses version index 0xffff,
but it is impossible in practice.
This change decreases sizeof(SymbolUnion) from 80 to 72 on ELF64 platforms.
Memory usage decreases by 1% when linking a large executable.
* Avoid the name truncation quirk in SymbolTable::insert: the truncated name will be replaced by @@ again.
* Allow foo and foo@@v1 in different files to be diagnosed as duplicate definition error (GNU ld behavior)
* Avoid potential redundant strlen on symbol name due to StringRefZ in ObjFile<ELFT>::initializeSymbols
Sorting the prefixes by decreasing frequency can improve performance.
.gcc_except_table is relatively frequent, so move it ahead.
.ctors and .dtors mostly disappear and should be the last.
SHT_GNU_verdef is typically small, so it's unnecessary to reserve the vector.
While here, fix a hypothetical issue when SHT_GNU_verdef has non-increasing
version indexes, which don't happen with GNU ld, gold, ld.lld's output.
My x86-64 lld executable is 256 bytes smaller.
sizeof(ObjFile<ELF64LE>) is decreased from 344 to 272 on an ELF64 system.
In a large link with 30000 ObjFiles, this may be 2+MiB saving.
Change std::vector members to SmallVector, and std::string members to
SmallString<0> (these members typically don't benefit from small string optimization).
On Linux x86-64 the lld executable is ~6k smaller.
(Fixed an issue about GOT on a copy relocated alias.)
(Fixed an issue about not creating r_addend=0 IRELATIVE for unreferenced non-preemptible ifunc.)
The idea is to make scanRelocations mark some actions are needed (GOT/PLT/etc)
and postpone the real work to postScanRelocations. It gives some flexibility:
* Make it feasible to support .plt.got (PR32938): we need to know whether GLOB_DAT and JUMP_SLOT are both needed.
* Make non-preemptible IFUNC handling slightly cleaner: avoid setting/clearing sym.gotInIgot
* -z nocopyrel: report all copy relocation places for one symbol
* Make GOT deduplication feasible
* Make parallel relocation scanning feasible (if we can avoid all stateful operations and make Symbol attributes atomic), but parallelism may not be the appealing choice
Since this patch moves a large chunk of code out of ELFT templates. My x86-64
executable is actually a few hundred bytes smaller.
For ppc32-ifunc-nonpreemptible-pic.s: I remove absolute relocation references to non-preemptible ifunc

An unstable sort suffices. In a large link (11.06s), this decreases .rela.dyn
writeTo time from 1.52s to 0.81s, resulting in 6% total time speedup (the
benefit will greatly dilute if --pack-dyn-relocs=relr becomes prevailing).
Encoding the dynamic relocations then sorting raw Elf_Rel/Elf_Rela doesn't seem
to improve much (doing that would require code duplicate because of
Elf_Rel/Elf_Rela plus unfortunate mips64le), so don't do that.
