It is the GNU hash table section that should be reaponsible for storing its own
data and applying its requirements for the order to dynamic symbols.

getFileOff functions defined for other classes return an offset
from beginning of the file. StringTableSection's getFileOff however
returned an offset from beginning of the section. That was confusing.

Section garbage collection is a feature to remove unused sections
from outputs. Unused sections are sections that cannot be reachable
from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.
In this patch, I added Live bit to InputSectionBase. If and only
if Live bit is on, the section will be written to the output.
Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.
This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.
It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
That is 4.3% reduction.

This patch implements --hash-style command line switch.
* By default, or with "sysv" or "both" parameters, the linker generates
a standard ELF hash section.
* With "gnu" or "both", it produces a GNU-style hash section.
That section requires the symbols in the dynamic symbol table section, which
are referenced in the GNU hash section, to be placed after not hashed ones and
to be sorted to correspond the order of hash buckets in the GNU Hash section.
The division function, as well as estimations for the section's parameters,
are just the first rough attempt and the subjects for further adjustments.

* Move the responsibility to call SymbolBody::setDynamicSymbolTableIndex()
from the hash table to the dynamic symbol table.
* Hash table is not longer responsible for filling the dynamic symbol table.
* The final order of symbols of both symbol tables is set before writing
phase starts.
* Remove repeaded scan of the symbol table during writting SymbolTableSection.

Target has supportsLazyRelocations() method which can switch lazy relocations on/off (currently all targets are OFF except x64 which is ON). So no any other targets are affected now.

The option now just sets NOW bit in DT_FLAGS_1 but some loaders
seem to require also BIND_NOW bit to be set in DT_FLAGS. This is,
also, what ld.bfd and gold do.

The two names are similar enough that they might lead to confusion.
The output of readobj clarifies but I missed it when I originally
committed this. Found while linking FreeBSD userland with lld.

Given the name, it is natural for this function to compute the full target.
This will simplify SHF_MERGE handling by allowing getLocalRelTarget to
centralize the addend logic.

If one file is MIPS64EL, all files are MIPS64EL, and vice versa.
We do not have to look up MIPS-ness for each file. Currently we
do not support 64-bit MIPS, so the config value is always false.

When we have a R_PPC64_ADDR64 for a weak undef symbol, which thus resolves to
0, and we're creating a shared library, we need to make sure that it stays 0
(because code that conditionally calls the weak function tests for this).
Unfortunately, we were creating a R_PPC64_RELATIVE for these relocation
targets, making the address of the undefined weak symbol equal to the base
address of the shared library (which is non-zero). In general, we should not be
creating RelativeReloc relocs for undef weak symbols.
llvm-svn: 250558
R_PPC64_TOC does not have an associated symbol, but does have a non-zero VA
that target-specific code must compute using some non-trivial rule. We
handled this as a special case in PPC64TargetInfo::relocateOne, where
we knew to write this special address, but that did not work when creating shared
libraries. The special TOC address needs to be the subject of a
R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocation, and so we also need to know how to encode this
special address in the addend of that relocation.
Thus, some target-specific logic is necessary when creating R_PPC64_RELATIVE as
well. To solve this problem, we teach getLocalRelTarget to handle R_PPC64_TOC
as a special case. This allows us to remove the special case in
PPC64TargetInfo::relocateOne (simplifying code there), and naturally allows the
existing logic to do the right thing when creating associated R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations for shared libraries.

This patch is to use ELFT instead of Is64Bits to template OutputSection
and its subclasses. This increases code size slightly because it creates
two identical functions for some classes, but that's only 20 KB out of
33 MB, so it's negligible.
This is as per discussion with Rafael. He's not fan of the idea but OK
with this. We'll revisit later to this topic.

What was done:
1) .got.plt section is created for functions that requires PLT. .got.plt has 3 predefined empty entries now that are required for dynamic linker.
Also other new items created are configured to have correct jump to PLT[N].
2) PLT section now has PLT[0] entry, also others ones are configured to support PLT->GOT(.got.plt) calls.
3) Implemented .rel[a].plt sections (based on patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D13569).
4) Fixed plt relocations types (based on patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D13589).
NOTES:
The .plt.got zero entry is still empty now. According to ELF specification it should hold the address of the dynamic structure, referenced with the symbol
_DYNAMIC. The _DYNAMIC entry points to the .dynamic section which contains information used by the ELF interpreter to setup the binary.
