dynamic symbol table populating and DT_NEEDED tag creation.
The `isDynSymEntryRequired` function returns true if the specified shared
library atom requires a dynamic symbol table entry. The `isNeededTagRequired`
function returns true if we need to create DT_NEEDED tag for the shared
library defined specified shared atom.
By default the both functions return true. So there is no functional changes
for all targets except MIPS. Probably we need to spread the same modifications
on other ELF targets but I want to implement and fully tested complete set of
changes for MIPS target first.
For MIPS we create a dynamic symbol table entry for a shared library atom iif
this atom is referenced by a regular defined atom. For example, if library L1
defines symbol T1, library L2 defines symbol T2 and uses symbol T1
and executable file E1 uses symbol T2 but does not use symbol T1 we create
an entry in the E1 dynamic symbol table for symbol T2 and do not create
an entry for T1.
The patch creates DT_NEEDED tags for shared libraries contain shared library
atoms which a) referenced by regular defined atoms; b) have corresponding
copy dynamic relocations (R_MIPS_COPY).
Now the patch does not take in account --as-needed / --no-as-needed command
line options. So it is too restrictive and create DT_NEEDED tags for really
needed shared libraries only. I plan to fix that by subsequent patches.

COFF supports a feature similar to ELF's section groups. This
patch implements it.
In ELF, section groups are identified by their names, and they are
treated somewhat differently from regular symbols. In COFF, the
feature is realized in a more straightforward way. A section can
have an annotation saying "if Nth section is linked, link this
section too."
I added a new reference type, kindAssociate. If a target atom is
coalesced away, the referring atom is removed by Resolver, so that
they are treated as a group.

This code was never being used and any use of it would look fairly strange.
For example, it would try to map a NativeReaderError::file_malformed to
std::errc::invalid_argument.

The previous commit uncovered a bug in the mach-o writer whereby two __text
sections were created. But the test case did not catch that. So I updated
the test case to run the linker a second time, reading the output of the
first pass.

isCoalescedAway(x) is faster than replacement(x) != x as the former
does not follow the replacement atom chain. Also it's easier to use.

treated somewhat differently from regular symbols. In COFF, the
feature is realized in a more straightforward way. A section can
have an annotation saying "if Nth section is linked, link this
section too."
Implementing such feature is easy. We can add a reference from a
target atom to an original atom, so that if the target is linked,
the original atom is also linked. If not linked, both will be
dead-stripped. So they are treated as a group.
I added a new reference type, kindAssociate. It does nothing except
preventing referenced atoms from being dead-stripped.
No change to the Resolver is needed.

In sections that are broken into atoms at symbols, if the first symbol in the
section is not at the start of the section, then make an anonymous atom for
the section content that is before the first symbol.

Previously each section kind had its own code to loop over the section and
parse it into atoms. This refactoring has two tables. The first maps sections
to ContentType. The second maps ContentType to information on how to find
the atom boundaries.
A few bugs in test cases were discovered as part of the refactoring.
No change in functionality intended.

FileToMutable is what this class does, but this class (or, to be precise,

Previously section groups are doubly linked to their children.
That is, an atom representing a group has group-child references
to its group contents, and content atoms also have group-parent
references to the group atom. That relationship was invariant;
if X has a group-child edge to Y, Y must have a group-parent
edge to X.
However we were not using group-parent references at all. The
resolver only needs group-child edges.
This patch simplifies the section group by removing the unused
reverse edge. No functionality change intended.

Layout-before edges are no longer used for layout, but they are
still there for dead-stripping. If we would just remove them
from code, LLD would wrongly remove live atoms that were
referenced by layout-befores.
This patch fixes the issue. Before dead-stripping, it scans all
atoms to construct a reverse map for layout-after edges. Dead-
stripping pass uses the map to traverse the graph.

Arrange .ctors/.dtors sections in the following order:
.ctors from crtbegin.o or crtbegin?.o
.ctors from regular object files
.ctors.* (sorted) from regular object files
.ctors from crtend.o or crtend?.o
This order is specific for MIPS traget. For example, on X86
the .ctors.* sections are merged into the .init_array section.

The main problem is in the predicate passed to the `std::stable_sort()`.
This predicate always returns false if **both** section's names do not
start with `.init_array` or `.fini_array` prefixes. In short, it does not
define a strict weak orderng. Suppose we have the following sections:
.A .init_array.1 .init_array.2
The predicate states that:
not .init_array.1 < .A
not .A < .init_array.2
but .init_array.1 < .init_array.2 !!!
The second problem is that `.init_array` section without number should
go last in the list. Not it has the lowest priority '0' and goes first.
The patch fixes both of the problems.

This is a short-term fix to allow lld Readers to return error messages
with dynamic content.
The long term fix will be to enhance ErrorOr<> to work with errors other
than error_code. Or to change the interface to Readers to pass down a
diagnostics object through which all error messages are written.

/alternatename is a command line option to define a weak alias. You
can use it as /alternatename:foo=bar to define "foo" as a weak alias
for "bar".
Because it's a command line option, the weak alias mapping is in the
LinkingContext object, and not in a object file being read.
Previously, we looked up the mapping each time we read a new symbol
from a file, to check if there is a weak alias defined for the symbol.
That's not wrong, but had made function signature's a bit complicated --
we had to pass the mapping object to many functions. Now their
parameter lists are much cleaner.
This also has another (unrealized) benefit. parseFile() now read a
file and then add alias symbols to the file. In the first pass a
LinkingContext object is not used at all. That should make it easy
to read files from archive files speculatively, as the first pass
is free from side effect.

addResolvableSymbols() queues input files, and readAllSymbols() reads
from them. In practice it's currently safe because they are called from
a single thread. But it's not guaranteed.
Also, acquiring the same mutex is needed not to see inconsistent memory
contents that is allowed in the C++ memory model.

ExportedSymbolRenameFile is not always used. In most cases we don't

In r205566, I made a change to Resolver so that Resolver revisit
only archive files in --start-group and --end-group pair. That's
not correct, as it also has to revisit DSO files.

Added a test to demonstrate the fix. I confirmed that it succeeded
before r205566, failed after r205566, and is ok with this patch.

As written in the comment in this patch, symbol names specified with
/export option is resolved in a special way; for /export:foo, linker
finds a foo@<number> symbol if such symbols exists.
On Windows, a function in stdcall calling convention is mangled with
a leading underscore and following "@" and numbers. This name
mangling is kind of automatic, so you can sometimes omit _ and @number
when specifying a symbol. /export option is that case.
Previously, if a file in an archive file foo.lib provides a symbol
_fn@8, and /export:fn is specified, LLD failed to resolve the symbol.
It only tried to find _fn, and failed to find _fn@8. With this patch,
_fn@8 will be searched on the second iteration.

Make it possible to add observers to an Input Graph, so that files
returned from an Input Graph can be examined before they are
passed to Resolver.
To implement some PE/COFF features we need to know all the symbols
that *can* be solved, including ones in archive files that are not
yet to be read.
Currently, Resolver only maintains a set of symbols that are
already read. It has no knowledge on symbols in skipped files in
an archive file.
There are many ways to implement that. I chose to apply the
observer pattern here because it seems most non-intrusive. We don't
want to mess up Resolver with architecture specific features.
Even in PE/COFF, the feature that needs this mechanism is minor.
So I chose not to modify Resolver, but add a hook to Input Graph.

If one or more dynamic relocation might modify a read-only section,
dynamic table should contain DT_TEXTREL tag.
The patch introduces new `RelocationTable::canModifyReadonlySection()`
method. This method checks through the relocations to see if any modifies
a read-only section. The DynamicTable class calls this method and emits
the DT_TEXTREL tag if necessary.
The patch reviewed by Rui Ueyama and Shankar Easwaran.

We did not actively try to resolve dllexported symbols specified
by /export or by a module definition file. So if exported symbols
would be resolved for other reasons, like other symbols refer to
them, that was fine, but if (unreferenced) exported symbols were
in an archive file, and no one refers to that file in the archive,
they remained unresolved.
That would obviously cause the issue that dllexported symbols are
not in a resultant DLL.
In this patch, we create an undefined symbol for each dllexported
symbol, to let the core linker to resolve it.
