This updates all the non-runtime project release notes to use the
version number from CMake instead of the hard-coded version numbers
in conf.py.
It also hides warnings about pre-releases when the git suffix
is dropped from the LLVM version in CMake.

This diff adds support for ADRP+ADD optimization for AArch64 described in
d2ca58c54b
i.e. under appropriate constraints
ADRP x0, symbol
ADD x0, x0, :lo12: symbol
can be turned into
NOP
ADR x0, symbol
Test plan: make check-all

Added some comments (particularly around finalize() and
finalizeContents()) as well as doing some rephrasing / grammar fixes for
existing comments.
Also did some minor style fixups, such as by putting methods together in
a class definition and having fields of similar types next to each
other.

See the updated insert-before.test for the effects: many synthetic
sections are SHF_ALLOC|SHF_WRITE. If they are discarded, we don't want
to propagate their flags to subsequent output section descriptions.
`getFirstInputSection(sec) == nullptr` can technically be merged into
`isDiscardable` but I'd like to postpone that as not sharing code may give more
refactoring opportunity.
Depends on D118529.

adjustSectionsBeforeSorting updates some output section attributes
(alignment/flags) and removes discardable empty sections. When it is called,
INSERT commands have not been processed. Therefore the flags propagation rule
may not affect output sections defined in an INSERT command properly.
Fix this by moving processInsertCommands before adjustSectionsBeforeSorting.
adjustSectionsBeforeSorting is somewhat misnamed. The order between it and
sortInputSections does not matter. With the pass shuffle, the name of
adjustSectionsBeforeSorting becomes wrong. Therefore rename it. The new
name is not set into stone. The function mixes several tasks and the
code may be refactored in a way that we may give them more meaningful
names.
With this patch, I think the behavior of attribute propagation becomes more
reasonable. In particular, in the absence of non-INSERT SECTIONS,
inserting a section after a SHF_ALLOC one will give us a SHF_ALLOC section,
not a non-SHF_ALLOC one (see linkerscript/insert-after.test).

The deduplication requires a DenseMap of the same size of the local part of
.strtab . I optimized it in e205445434 but it is
still quite slow.
For Release build of clang, deduplication makes .strtab 1.1% smaller and makes the link 3% slower.
For chrome, deduplication makes .strtab 0.1% smaller and makes the link 6% slower.
I suggest that we only perform the optimization with -O2 (default is -O1).
Not deduplicating local symbol names will simplify parallel symbol table write.

Replace `f<ELFT>(x)` with `InvokeELFT(f, x)`.
The size reduction comes from turning `link` from 4 specializations into 1.

Previously an InputSectionBase is dead (`partition==0`) by default.
SyntheticSection calls markLive and BssSection overrides that with markDead.
It is more natural to make InputSectionBase live by default and let
--gc-sections mark InputSectionBase dead.
When linking a Release build of clang:
* --no-gc-sections:, the removed `inputSections` loop decreases markLive time from 4ms to 1ms.
* --gc-sections: the extra `inputSections` loop increases markLive time from 0.181296s to 0.188526s.
This is as of we lose the removing one `inputSections` loop optimization (4374824ccf).
I believe the loss can be mitigated if we refactor markLive.
This is a ld64 option equivalent to `-sectcreate seg sect /dev/null`
that's useful for creating sections like the RESTRICT section.

Previously functions that aren't included in the symtab were also
excluded from the function starts. Symbols missing from function starts
degrades the debugger experience in the case you don't have debug info
for them.

* `RelocationBaseSection::addReloc` increases `numRelativeRelocs`, which
duplicates the work done by RelocationSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
* --pack-dyn-relocs=android has inappropropriate DT_RELACOUNT.
AndroidPackedRelocationSection does not necessarily place relative relocations
in the front and DT_RELACOUNT might cause semantics error (though our
implementation doesn't and Android bionic doesn't use DT_RELACOUNT anyway.)
Move `llvm::partition` to a new function `partitionRels` and compute
`numRelativeRelocs` there. Now `RelocationBaseSection::addReloc` is trivial and
can be moved to the header to enable inlining.
The rest of DynamicReloc and `-z combreloc` handling is moved to the
non-template `RelocationBaseSection::computeRels` to decrease code size. My
x86-64 lld executable is 44+KiB smaller.
While here, rename `sort` to `combreloc`.
When processing dependent libraries, if there's a directory of the same
name as the library being searched for, either in the current directory
or earlier in the search order, LLD will try to open it and report an
error. This is because LLD uses file existence check. To address this
issue we reverse the order, searching the library by basename first
and only considering search paths later, and current directory last.

Close#52781: for LTO, the inline asm diagnostic uses `<inline asm>` as the file
name (lib/CodeGen/AsmPrinter/AsmPrinterInlineAsm.cpp) and it is unclear which
module has the issue.
With this patch, we will see the module name (say `asm.o`) before `<inline asm>` with ThinLTO.
```
% clang -flto=thin -c asm.c && myld.lld asm.o -e f
ld.lld: error: asm.o <inline asm>:1:2: invalid instruction mnemonic 'invalid'
invalid
^~~~~~~
```
For regular LTO, unfortunately the original module name is lost and we only get
ld-temp.o.

In older versions of llvm (e.g. llvm 13), symbols were not individually
flagged as TLS. In this case, the indent was to implicitly mark any
symbols defined in TLS segments as TLS. However, we were not performing
this implicit conversion if the segment was explicitly marked as TLS
As it happens, llvm 13 was branched between the addition of the segment
flag and the addition of the symbol flag. See:
- segment flag added: https://reviews.llvm.org/D102202
- symbol flag added: https://reviews.llvm.org/D109426
Testing this is tricky because the assembler will imply the TLS status
of the symbol based on the segment its declared in, so we are forced to
use a yaml file here.
