In GNU ld, -Ttext sets the address of the .text section and -Ttext-segment sets the address of the text segment (RX).
gold only supports the -Ttext-segment semantic and treats -Ttext as an alias for -Ttext-segment.
lld only supports the -Ttext semantic and treats -Ttext-segment as an
alias for -Ttext. The text segment will be assigned to an address less
than the specified -Ttext-segment value.
This patch drops the -Ttext-segment alias.
The text segment is traditionally the first segment. Users who specify
-Ttext-segment may actually want to specify --image-base, the lld way to
express this. Unfortunately currently this is supported by GNU ld's
COFF port but not by its ELF port. gold does not support this option.
With -z separate-code, the behavior of GNU ld -Ttext-segment is weird (see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25207)
rL289827 introduced the alias for linking qemu's non-pie user mode
binaries. As explained previously, this actually assigns the text
segment to an address less than 0x60000000. I feel that a better fix is
on the qemu side:

With this, `clang-cl /source-charset:utf-16 test.cc` now prints `invalid
value 'utf-16' in '/source-charset:utf-16'` instead of `invalid value
'utf-16' in '-finput-charset=utf-16'` before, and several other clang-cl
flags produce much less confusing output as well.
Fixes PR29106.
Since an arg and its alias can have different arg types (joined vs not)
and different values (because of AliasArgs<>), I chose to give the Alias
its own Arg object. For convenience, I just store the alias directly in
the unaliased arg – there aren't many arg objects at runtime, so that
seems ok.
Finally, I changed Arg::getAsString() to use the alias's representation
if it's present – that function was already documented as being the
suitable function for diagnostics, and most callers already used it for
diagnostics.
Implementation-wise, Arg::accept() previously used to parse things as
the unaliased option. The core of that switch is now extracted into a
new function acceptInternal() which parses as the _aliased_ option, and
the previously-intermingled unaliasing is now done as an explicit step
afterwards.
(This also changes one place in lld that didn't use getAsString() for
diagnostics, so that that one place now also prints the flag as the user
wrote it, not as it looks after it went through unaliasing.)

for all long options that take arguments.

It os used in work/emulators/qemu-user-static port.
Which tries to use -Ttext-segment and then:
# In case ld does not support -Ttext-segment, edit the default linker
# script via sed to set the .text start addr. This is needed on FreeBSD
# at least.
<here it calls -verbose to extract and edit default bfd linker script.>
Actually now we are do not fully support -Ttext properly (see D27613),
but we also seems never will provide anything close to default script, like bfd do,
so at least this patch introduces proper alias handling.

--section-start=sectionname=org
Locate a section in the output file at the absolute address given by org.
You may use this option as many times as necessary to locate multiple sections in the command line.
org must be a single hexadecimal integer; for compatibility with other linkers,
you may omit the leading `0x' usually associated with hexadecimal values.
Note: there should be no white space between sectionname, the equals sign (“<=>”), and org.
-Tbss=org
-Tdata=org
-Ttext=org
Same as --section-start, with .bss, .data or .text as the sectionname.
