Some targets might require creation of thunks. For example, MIPS targets
require stubs to call PIC code from non-PIC one. The patch implements
infrastructure for thunk code creation and provides support for MIPS
LA25 stubs. Any MIPS PIC code function is invoked with its address
in register $t9. So if we have a branch instruction from non-PIC code
to the PIC one we cannot make the jump directly and need to create a small
stub to save the target function address.
See page 3-38 ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
- In relocation scanning phase we ask target about thunk creation necessity
by calling `TagetInfo::needsThunk` method. The `InputSection` class
maintains list of Symbols requires thunk creation.
- Reassigning offsets performed for each input sections after relocation
scanning complete because position of each section might change due
thunk creation.
- The patch introduces new dedicated value for DefinedSynthetic symbols
DefinedSynthetic::SectionEnd. Synthetic symbol with that value always
points to the end of the corresponding output section. That allows to
escape updating synthetic symbols if output sections sizes changes after
relocation scanning due thunk creation.
- In the `InputSection::writeTo` method we write thunks after corresponding
input section. Each thunk is written by calling `TargetInfo::writeThunk` method.
- The patch supports the only type of thunk code for each target. For now,
it is enough.

It was a badly specified hack for when a tls relocation should be
propagated to the dynamic relocation table.
This replaces it with a not as bad hack of saying that a local dynamic
tls relocation is never preempted.

For shared libraries we allow any weak undefined symbol to eventually be
resolved, even if we never see a definition in another .so. This matches
the behavior when handling other undefined symbols in a shared library.
For executables, we require seeing a definition in a .so or resolve it
to zero. This is also similar to how non weak symbols are handled.

This patch adds some TLS relocations and relaxations for AArch64.
Some Global-Dynamic relocation are handled by optimizing them to
Local-Exec (Initial-Exec is not yet supported). They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADR_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_LD64_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_ADD_LO12_NC
- R_AARCH64_TLSDESC_CALL
Also some Init-Exec is optimized to Local-Exec if possible. They are:
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_ADR_GOTTPREL_PAGE21
- R_AARCH64_TLSIE_LD64_GOTTPREL_LO12_NC
Finally some Local-Exec relocation are handled in relocateOne:
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_HI12
- R_AARCH64_TLSLE_ADD_TPREL_LO12_NC
This work is mainly for compiler bootstrap, where static binaries is
showing good progress (although shared object still lacking support
from both TLS aarch64 backend and some other issues).

This is the function equivalent of a copy relocation.
Since functions are expected to change sizes, we cannot use copy
relocations. In situations where one would be needed, what is done
instead is:
* Create a plt entry
* Output an undefined symbol whose addr is the plt entry.
The dynamic linker makes sure any shared library uses the plt entry as
the function address.

Some MIPS relocation (for now R_MIPS_GOT16) requires creation of GOT
entries for symbol not included in the dynamic symbol table. They are
local symbols and non-local symbols with 'local' visibility. Local GOT
entries occupy continuous block between GOT header and regular GOT
entries.
The patch adds initial support for handling local GOT entries. The main
problem is allocating local GOT entries for local symbols. Such entries
should be initialized by high 16-bit of the symbol value. In ideal world
there should be no duplicated entries with the same values. But at the
moment of the `Writer::scanRelocs` call we do not know a value of the
symbol. In this patch we create new local GOT entry for each relocation
against local symbol, though we can exhaust GOT quickly. That needs to
be optimized later. When we calculate relocation we know a final symbol
value and request local GOT entry index. To do that we maintain map
between addresses and local GOT entry indexes. If we start to calculate
relocations in parallel we will have to serialize access to this map.

Some MIPS relocations including `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16` use combined
addends. Such addend is calculated using addends of both paired relocations.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` relocation is paired with the next `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation. ABI requires to compute such combined addend in case of REL
relocation record format only.
For details see p. 4-17 at
ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
This patch implements lookup of the next paired relocation suing new
`InputSectionBase::findPairedRelocLocation` method. The primary
disadvantage of this approach is that we put MIPS specific logic into
the common code. The next disadvantage is that we lookup `R_MIPS_LO16`
for each `R_MIPS_HI16` relocation, while in fact multiple `R_MIPS_HI16`
might be paired with the single `R_MIPS_LO16`. From the other side
this way allows us to keep `MipsTargetInfo` class stateless and implement
later relocation handling in parallel.
This patch does not support `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16` relocations against
`_gp_disp` symbol. In that case the relocations use a special formula for
the calculation. That will be implemented later.

R_386_GOTPC
Resembles R_386_PC32, except that it uses the address of the global offset table in its calculation. The symbol referenced in this relocation normally is _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, which also instructs the link-editor to create the global offset table.
Currently _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ has value == zero. And we use GOT address to calculate the relocation. This patch does not changes that. It just removes the method which is used only for x86. So it is close to non functional change.

leaq symbol@tlsld(%rip), %rdi
call __tls_get_addr@plt
symbol@tlsld (R_X86_64_TLSLD) instructs the linker to generate a tls_index entry (two GOT slots) in the GOT for the entire module (shared object or executable) with an offset of 0. The symbol for this GOT entry doesn't matter (as long as it's either local to the module or null), and gold doesn't put a symbol in the dynamic R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 relocation for the GOT entry.
All other platforms defined in http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf except for Itanium use a similar model where global and local dynamic GOT entries take up 2 contiguous GOT slots, so we can handle this in a unified manner if we don't care about Itanium.
While scanning relocations we need to identify local dynamic relocations and generate a single tls_index entry in the GOT for the module and store the address of it somewhere so we can later statically resolve the offset for R_X86_64_TLSLD relocations. We also need to generate a R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 relocation in the RelaDyn relocation section.
This implementation is a bit hacky. It side steps the issue of GotSection and RelocationSection only handling SymbolBody entries by relying on a specific relocation type. The alternative to this seemed to be completely rewriting how GotSection and RelocationSection work, or using a different hacky signaling method.

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.

After some additional post-commit (post-revert) discussion and research, this
reverts, in part, r250205, so the ABI-recommended starting address can be used

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.

Under the PPC64 ELF ABI, functions that might call into other modules (and,
thus, need to load a different TOC base value into %r2), need to restore the
old value after the call. The old value is saved by the .plt code, and the
caller only needs to include a nop instruction after the call, which the linker
will transform into a TOC restore if necessary.
In order to do this the relocation handler needs two things:
1. It needs to know whether the call instruction it is modifying is targeting
a .plt stub that will load a new TOC base value (necessitating a restore after
the call).
2. It needs to know where the buffer ends, so that it does not accidentally
run off the end of the buffer when looking for the 'nop' instruction after the
call.
Given these two pieces of information, we can insert the restore instruction in
place of the following nop when necessary.

The required page alignment is different on different targets. On PowerPC, for
