llvm-objcopy already supports --strip-sections. It is a good fit for its alias llvm-strip

If certain switches are not specified, llvm-strip behaves as if
--strip-all were specified. This means that for testing, when we don't
want the stripping behaviour, we have to specify one of these switches,
which can be confusing. This change adds --no-strip-all to allow an
alternative way of suppressing the default stripping, in a less
confusing manner.

Summary:
llvm-{objcopy,strip} (and many other LLVM binary utilities) accept
cl::opt style -long-option as well as many short options (e.g. -p -S
-x). People who use them as replacement of GNU binutils often use the
grouped option syntax (POSIX Utility Conventions), e.g. -Sx => -S -x,
-Wd => -W -d, -sj.text => -s -j.text
There is ambiguity if a long option starts with the character used by a
short option. Drop the support for -long-option to resolve the ambiguity.
This divergence from other utilities is accepted (other utilities
continue supporting -long-option).

llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is
referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is
different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are
doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new
switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do
precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead
of an error being emitted.
I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they
emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly
loaded.

For ELF, we accept but ignore --only-keep-debug. Do the same for llvm-strip.
COFF does implement this, so update the test that it is supported.
llvm-svn: 356207
This patch changes llvm-objcopy's behaviour to not strip sections that
are in segments, if they otherwise would be due to a stripping operation
(--strip-all, --strip-sections, --strip-non-alloc). This preserves the
segment contents. It does not change the behaviour of --strip-all-gnu
(although we could choose to do so), because GNU objcopy's behaviour in
this case seems to be to strip the section, nor does it prevent removing
of sections in segments with --remove-section (if a user REALLY wants to
remove a section, we should probably let them, although I could be
persuaded that warning might be appropriate). Tests have been added to
show this latter behaviour.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41006.

Summary:
This adds support for the --discard-locals flag, which acts similarly to --discard-all, except it only applies to compiler-generated symbols (i.e. symbols starting with `.L` in ELF).
I am not sure about COFF local symbols: those appear to also use `.L` in most cases, but also use just `L` in other cases, so for now I am just leaving it unimplemented there.

Summary:
llvm-objcopy/strip support `--keep` (for sections) and `--keep-symbols` (for symbols). For consistency and clarity, rename `--keep` to `--keep-section`.
In fact, for GNU compatability, -K is --keep-symbol, so it's weird that the alias `-K` is not the same as the short-ish `--keep`.

Summary:
GNU strip supports both `-s` and `-S` as aliases for `--strip-all` and `--strip-debug`, respectfully.
As part of this, it turns out that strip/objcopy were accepting case insensitive command line args. I'm not sure if there was an explicit reason for this. The only others uses of this are llvm-cvtres/llvm-mt/llvm-lib, which are all tools specific for windows support. Forcing case sensitivity allows both aliases to exist, but seems like a good idea anyway.
And as a surprise test case adjustment, the llvm-strip unit test was running with `-keep=unavailable_symbol`, despite `keep` not be a valid flag for strip. This is because there is a flag `-K` which, when case insensitivity is permitted, allows it to be interpreted as `-K` = `eep=unavailable_symbol` (e.g. to allow `-Kfoo` == `--keep-symbol=foo`).
