Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

It was reported (https://reviews.llvm.org/D38724#902841) that when we use
-ffunction-sections --emit-relocs build, REL[A] output section receives the name of first
input section, like .rela.text.first_function_in_text rather than .rela.text.
It is probably not really an issue as sh_info still points to correct target section, but
it does not look clean in output and allows internal section name to leak there,
what at least looks confusing and is not consistent with ld.bfd.
Patch changes this behavior so that target output section name is used as a base.

Previously we would merge relocation sections by name.
That did not work in some cases, like testcase shows.
Patch implements logic to merge relocation sections if their target
sections were merged into the same output section.

Without this we would produce two relocation sections pointing to the
same section, which gnu tools reject.
This fixes pr31986.
The implementation of -r/--emit-reloc is getting fairly
complicated. But lets get the test passing before trying to refactor
it.
