It is fairly easy to forget SectionBase::repl after ICF.
Let ICF rewrite a Defined symbol's `section` field to avoid references to
SectionBase::repl in subsequent passes. This slightly improves the --icf=none
performance due to less indirection (maybe for --icf={safe,all} as well if most
symbols are Defined).
With this change, there is only one reference to `repl` (--gdb-index D89751).
We can undo f4fb5fd752 (`Move Repl to SectionBase.`)
but move `repl` to `InputSection` instead.

I added `PPC32Got2Section` D62464 to support .got2 but did not implement .got2
in another output section.
PR52799 has a linker script placing .got2 in .rodata, which causes a null
pointer dereference because a MergeSyntheticSection's file is nullptr.
Add the support.
When linking a 1.2G output (nearly no debug info, 2846621 dynamic relocations) using `--threads=8`, I measured
```

1.449913 Total Write output file
1.445784 Total Write sections
0.657152 Write sections {"detail":".rela.dyn"}
```
This change decreases the .rela.dyn time to 0.25, leading to 4% speed up in the total time.
* The parallelSort is slow because of expensive r_sym/r_offset computation. Cache the values.
* The iteration is slow. Move r_sym/r_addend computation ahead of time and parallelize it.
With the change, the new encodeDynamicReloc is cheap (0.05s). So no need to parallelize it.

(Fixed an issue about not creating r_addend=0 IRELATIVE for unreferenced non-preemptible ifunc.)
The idea is to make scanRelocations mark some actions are needed (GOT/PLT/etc)
and postpone the real work to postScanRelocations. It gives some flexibility:
* Make it feasible to support .plt.got (PR32938): we need to know whether GLOB_DAT and JUMP_SLOT are both needed.
* Make non-preemptible IFUNC handling slightly cleaner: avoid setting/clearing sym.gotInIgot
* -z nocopyrel: report all copy relocation places for one symbol
* Make GOT deduplication feasible
* Make parallel relocation scanning feasible (if we can avoid all stateful operations and make Symbol attributes atomic), but parallelism may not be the appealing choice
Since this patch moves a large chunk of code out of ELFT templates. My x86-64
executable is actually a few hundred bytes smaller.

An unstable sort suffices. In a large link (11.06s), this decreases .rela.dyn
writeTo time from 1.52s to 0.81s, resulting in 6% total time speedup (the
benefit will greatly dilute if --pack-dyn-relocs=relr becomes prevailing).
Encoding the dynamic relocations then sorting raw Elf_Rel/Elf_Rela doesn't seem
to improve much (doing that would require code duplicate because of
Elf_Rel/Elf_Rela plus unfortunate mips64le), so don't do that.
The canonical term is "extract" (GNU ld documentation, Solaris's `-z *extract`
options). Avoid inventing a term and match --why-extract. (ld64 prefers "load"

Mostly MFC, except for --help messages and the header row in

BaseCommand was picked when PHDRS/INSERT/etc were not implemented. Rename it to
SectionCommand to match `sectionCommands` and make it clear that the commands
are used in SECTIONS (except a special case for SymbolAssignment).
Also, improve naming of some BaseCommand variables (base -> cmd).
This partially reverts r315409: the description applies to LinkerScript, but not
to OutputSection.
The name "sectionCommands" is used in both LinkerScript::sectionCommands and
OutputSection::sectionCommands, which may lead to confusion.
"commands" in OutputSection has no ambiguity because there are no other types
of commands.

This option is a subset of -Bsymbolic-functions. It applies to STB_GLOBAL
STT_FUNC definitions.
The address of a vague linkage function (STB_WEAK STT_FUNC, e.g. an inline
function, a template instantiation) seen by a -Bsymbolic-functions linked
shared object may be different from the address seen from outside the shared
object. Such cases are uncommon. (ELF/Mach-O programs may use
`-fvisibility-inlines-hidden` to break such pointer equality. On Windows,
correct dllexport and dllimport are needed to make pointer equality work.
Windows link.exe enables /OPT:ICF by default so different inline functions may
have the same address.)
```
// a.cc -> a.o -> a.so (-Bsymbolic-functions)
inline void f() {}
void *g() { return (void *)&f; }
// b.cc -> b.o -> exe
// The address is different!
inline void f() {}
```
-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions is a safer (C++ conforming) subset of
-Bsymbolic-functions, which can make such programs work.
Implementations usually emit a vague linkage definition in a COMDAT group. We
could detect the group (with more code) but I feel that we should just check
STB_WEAK for simplicity. A weak definition will thus serve as an escape hatch
for rare cases when users want interposition on definitions.

If Linux distributions migrate to protected non-vague-linkage external linkage
functions by default, the linker option can still be handy because it allows
rapid experiment without recompilation. Protected function addresses currently
have deep issues in GNU ld.

This patch changes the DynamicReloc class to store an enum instead
of the overloaded useSymVA member to make it easier to understand
and fix incorrect addends being written in some corner cases. The
change is motivated by a follow-up review that checks the value of
implicit Elf_Rel addends written to the output file.
This patch fixes an incorrect output when using `-z rela` for i386 files
with R_386_GOT32 relocations (not that this really matters since it's an
unsupported configuration).
Storing the relocation expression kind also addresses an incorrect addend
FIXME in ppc64-abs64-dyn.s introduced in D63383.
DynamicReloc now also has a special case for the MIPS TLS relocations
(DynamicReloc::AgainstSymbolWithTargetVA) since the
R_MIPS_TLS_TPREL{32/64} the symbol VA to the GOT for preemptible
symbols. I'm not sure if the symbol value actually should be written
for R_MIPS_TLS_TPREL32, but this patch does not attempt to change
that behaviour.

This is the same problem as 127176e59e, but for static TLS rather than
dynamic TLS. Although we know the symbol will be the one in our own TLS

the static TLS block our data will be allocated and thus we must emit a

```
The GOT consists of an 8-byte header that contains the TOC base (the first TOC
base when multiple TOCs are present), followed by an array of 8-byte addresses.

Due to the introduction of PC Relative code it is now possible to require a GOT

the .TOC. symbol to determine whether or not a GOT is required the GOT header is
not setup correctly and the 8-byte header is missing.

the GOT instead of at the very begining. When this header is added a .TOC.
