This change revisits https://reviews.llvm.org/D79248 which originally
added support for the --unresolved-symbols flag.
At the time I thought it would make sense to add a third option to this
flag called `import-functions` but it turns out (as was suspects by on
the reviewers IIRC) that this option can be authoganal.
Instead I've added a new option called `--import-undefined` that only
operates on symbols that can be imported (for example, function symbols
can always be imported as opposed to data symbols we can only be
imported when compiling with PIC).
This option gives us the full expresivitiy that emscripten needs to be
able allow reporting of undefined data symbols as well as the option to
disable that.
This change does remove the `--unresolved-symbols=import-functions`
option, which is been in the codebase now for about a year but I would
be extremely surprised if anyone was using it.

I noticed that this option was not appearing at all in the `--help`
messages for `wasm-ld` or `ld.lld`.
Add help text and make it consistent across all ports.

This is a more full featured version of ``--allow-undefined``.
The semantics of the different methods are as follows:
report-all:
Report all unresolved symbols. This is the default. Normally the
linker will generate an error message for each reported unresolved
symbol but the option ``--warn-unresolved-symbols`` can change this
to a warning.
ignore-all:
Resolve all undefined symbols to zero. For data and function
addresses this is trivial. For direct function calls, the linker
will generate a trapping stub function in place of the undefined
function.
import-functions:
Generate WebAssembly imports for any undefined functions. Undefined
data symbols are resolved to zero as in `ignore-all`. This
corresponds to the legacy ``--allow-undefined`` flag.
The plan is to followup with a new mode called `import-dynamic` which
allows for statically linked binaries to refer to both data and
functions symbols from the embedder.

This adds `--[no-]color-diagnostics[=auto,never,always]` to
the MachO port and harmonizes the flag in the other ports:
- Consistently use MetaVarName
- Consistently document the non-eq version as alias of the eq version
- Use B<> in the ports that have it (no-op, shorter)
- Fix oversight in COFF port that made the --no flag have the wrong
prefix

This flag works in a similar way to the ELF linker in that it
will resolve any defined symbols to their local definition with
a shared library or -pie executable.
This flag has no effect on static linking.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D89152
The meaning of -shared and -pie are expected to be changed in the
future when Module Linking-style libraries are implemented. Begin
issuing warnings to give people a heads-up that they will be changing.
For compatibility with Emscripten, add a --experimental-pic flag which
disables these warnings.

--no-threads is a name copied from gold.
gold has --no-thread, --thread-count and several other --thread-count-*.
There are needs to customize the number of threads (running several lld
processes concurrently or customizing the number of LTO threads).
Having a single --threads=N is a straightforward replacement of gold's
--no-threads + --thread-count.
--no-threads is used rarely. So just delete --no-threads instead of
keeping it for compatibility for a while.
If --threads= is specified (ELF,wasm; COFF /threads: is similar),
--thinlto-jobs= defaults to --threads=,
otherwise all available hardware threads are used.
There is currently no way to override a --threads={1,2,...}. It is still
a debate whether we should use --threads=all.

Summary:
- `__wasm_init_memory` is now the WebAssembly start function instead
of being called from `__wasm_call_ctors` or called directly by the
runtime.
- Adds a new synthetic data symbol `__wasm_init_memory_flag` that is
atomically incremented from zero to one by the thread responsible
for initializing memory.
- All threads now unconditionally perform data.drop on all passive
segments.
- Removes --passive-segments and --active-segments flags and controls
segment type based on --shared-memory instead. The deleted flags
were only present to ameliorate the upgrade path in Emscripten.

Adds --growable-table flag to handle building wasm modules with tables
that can grow.
Wasm tables that we use to store function pointers. In order to add functions
to that table at runtime, we need to either preallocate space, or grow the table.
In order to specify a table with no maximum size, we need some flag to handle
that case, separately from a potential --max-table-size= flag.
Note that the number of elements in the table isn't knowable until link-time,
so it's unclear if we will want a --max-table-size= flag in the future.

Summary:
This change makes it so that passing --shared-memory is all a user
needs to do to get proper multithreaded code. This default can still
be explicitly overridden for any reason using --passive-segments and

Summary:
Adds `--passive-segments` and `--active-segments` flags to control
what kind of segments are emitted. For now the default is always
to emit active segments so this is not a breaking change, but in
the future the default will be changed to passive segments when
shared memory is requested and active segments otherwise. When
passive segments are emitted, corresponding memory.init and
data.drop instructions are emitted in a `__wasm_init_memory`
function that is automatically called at the beginning of
`__wasm_call_ctors`.

--reproduce is a convenient option for debugging. If you invoke lld
with `--reproduce=repro.tar`, it creates `repro.tar` with all input
files and the command line options given to the linker, so that it is
very easy to run lld with the exact same inputs.
ELF and Windows lld have this option.
This patch add that option to lld/wasm.

In a very recent change I introduced a --no-export-default flag
but after conferring with others it seems that this feature already
exists in gnu GNU ld and lld in the form the --export-dynamic flag
which is off by default.
This change replaces export-default with export-dynamic and also
changes the default to match the traditional linker behaviour.
Now, by default, only the entry point is exported. If other symbols
are required by the embedder then --export-dynamic or --export can
be used to export all visibility hidden symbols or individual
symbols respectively.
This change touches a lot of tests that were relying on symbols
being exported by default. I imagine it will also effect many
users but do think the change is worth it match of the traditional
behaviour and flag names.

This causes all symbols to be exported in the final wasm binary
even if they were not compiled with default visibility.

This change adds the ability for lld to remove LEB padding from
code section. This effectively shrinks the size of the resulting
binary in proportion to the number of code relocations.
Since there will be a performance cost this is currently only active for
-O1 and above. Some toolchains may instead want to perform this
compression as a post linker step (for example running a binary through
binaryen will automatically compress these values).
I imagine we might want to make this the default in the future.

Merging data segments produces smaller code sizes because each segment
has some boilerplate. Therefore, merging data segments is generally the
right approach, especially with wasm where binaries are typically
delivered over the network.
However, when analyzing wasm binaries, it can be helpful to get a
conservative picture of which functions are using which data
segments[0]. Perhaps there is a large data segment that you didn't
expect to be included in the wasm, introduced by some library you're
using, and you'd like to know which library it was. In this scenario,
merging data segments only makes the analysis worse.
Alternatively, perhaps you will remove some dead functions by-hand[1]
that can't be statically proven dead by the compiler or lld, and
removing these functions might make some data garbage collect-able, and
you'd like to run `--gc-sections` again so that this now-unused data can
be collected. If the segments were originally merged, then a single use
of the merged data segment will entrench all of the data.
