Linker should create _imp_ symbols for local use only when such
symbols cannot be resolved in any other way. If it overrides real
imported symbols, such symbols remain virtually unresolved without
error, causing odd issues. I observed that a program linked with
LLD entered an infinite loop before reaching main() because of
this issue.
This patch moves the virtual file creating _imp_ symbols to the
very end of the input file list. Previously, the file is at the end
of the library file group. Linker might revisit the group many times,
so it was not really at the end of the input file list.

1. Re-implement PLT entries and dynamic relocations emitting to keep PLT
and relocations table in a consistent state.
2. Initialize st_value and st_other fields for dynamic symbols table
entry if this entry corresponds to an external function which address is
taken in a non-PIC executable. In that case the st_value field holds an
address of the function's PLT entry. Also set STO_MIPS_PLT bit in the
st_other field.

Implicit symbol for local use implemented in r207141 was not fully
compatible with MSVC link.exe. In r207141, I implemented the feature
in such way that implicit symbols are defined only when they are
exported with /EXPORT option.
After that I found that implicit symbols are defined not only for
dllexported symbols but for all defined symbols. Actually _imp_
implicit symbols have no relationship with the dllexport feature. You
could add _imp_ to any symbol to get a pointer to the symbol, whether
the symbol is dllexported or not. It looks pretty weird to me but
that's what we want if link.exe behaves that way.
Here is a bit about the implementation: Creating all implicit symbols
beforehand is going to be a huge waste of resource. This feature is
rarely used, and MSVC link.exe even prints out a warning message when
it finds this feature is being used. So we create implicit symbols
on demand. There is an archive file that creates implicit symbols when
they are needed.

We don't use sections with IMAGE_SYM_DEBUG attribute so we basically
want to the symbols for them when reading symbol table. When we skip
them, we need to skip auxiliary symbols too. Otherwise weird error
would happen because aux symbols would be interpreted as regular ones.

Currently LLD supports --defsym only in the form of
--defsym=<symbol>=<integer>, where the integer is interpreted as the
absolute address of the symbol. This patch extends it to allow other
symbol name to be given as an RHS value. If a RHS value is a symbol
name, the LHS symbol will be defined as an alias for the RHS symbol.
Internally, a LHS symbol is represented as a zero-size defined atom
who has an LayoutAfter reference to an undefined atom, whose name is
the RHS value. Everything else is already implemented -- Resolver
will resolve the undefined symbol, and the layout pass will layout
the two atoms at the same location. Looks like it's working fine.
Note that GNU LD supports --defsym=<symbol>=<symbol>+<addend>. That
feature is out of scope of this patch.

a couple of new virtual functions.
Follow-up to the rL203408. Two virtual functions `createRelocationReference()`
responsible for creation of `ELFReference` have been replaced by a couple of
new virtual functions `createRelocationReferences()` (plural). Each former
function creates a //single// ELFReference for a specified `Elf_Rela`
or `Elf_Rel` relocation records. The new functions responsible for creation
of //all// relocation references for provided symbol.
For all targets except MIPS there are no functional changes.
MIPS ABI has a notion of //paired// relocations. An effective addend of such
relocations are calculated using addends of both pair's members.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` and `R_MIPS_GOT16` (for local symbols) relocations must have
an associated `R_MIPS_LO16` entry immediately following it in the list
of relocations. Immediately does not mean "next record" in relocations section
but "next record referenced the same symbol". Moreover a single `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation can be paired with multiple preceding `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_GOT16`
relocations.
The paired relocation can have offsets belong to the different symbols.
That is why we need to have access to list of all relocations during
construction of `ELFReference` for MIPS target.

An ordinal is set to each child of Input Graph, but no one actually
uses it. The only piece of code that gets ordinaly values is
sortInputElements in InputGraph.cpp, but it does not actually do
anything -- we assign ordinals in increasing order just before
calling sort, so when sort is called it's already sorted. It's no-op.
We can simply remove it. No functionality change.

.gnu.linkonce sections are similar to section groups.
They were supported before section groups existed and provided a way
to resolve COMDAT sections using a different design.
There are few implementations that use .gnu.linkonce sections
to store simple floating point constants which doesnot require complex section
group support but need a way to store only one copy of the floating point
constant in a binary.
.gnu.linkonce based symbol resolution achieves that.

On these tests llvm-mc will convert got relocations with a symbol to section
relocations. This is invalid, since the relocation doesn't reference the symbol
itself, so its offset in a section in irrelevant.
Given the object files, these are still valid lld tests, so just run the
tests directly on the binaries.
Found by running check-lld after fixing the relocation handling in llvm-mc.

This patch is to support --defsym option for ELF file format/GNU-compatible
driver. Currently it takes a symbol name followed by '=' and a number. If such
option is given, the driver sets up an absolute symbol with the specified
address. You can specify multiple --defsym options to define multiple symbols.
GNU LD's --defsym provides many more features. For example, it allows users to
specify another symbol name instead of a number to define a symbol alias, or it
even allows a symbol plus an offset (e.g. --defsym=foo+3) to define symbol-
relative alias. This patch does not support that, but will be supported in
subsequent patches.

Currently we use both layout-after and layout-before edges to specify atom
orders in the resulting executable. We have a complex piece of code in
LayoutPass.cpp to deal with both types of layout specifiers.
(In the following description, I denote "Atom A having a layout-after edge
to B" as "A -> B", and A's layout-before to B as "A => B".)
However, that complexity is not really needed for this reason: If there
are atoms such that A => B, B -> A is always satisifed, so using only layout-
after relationships will yield the same result as the current code.
Actually we have a piece of complex code that verifies that, for each A -> B,
B => [ X => Y => ... => Z => ] A is satsified, where X, Y, ... Z are all
zero-size atoms. We can get rid of the code from our codebase because layout-
before is basically redundant.
I think we can simplify the code for layout-after even more than this, but
I want to just remove this pass for now for simplicity.
Layout-before edges are still there for dead-stripping, so this change won't
break it. We will remove layout-before in a followup patch once we fix the
dead-stripping pass.

If the environment variable is defined and not empty, RoundTrip tests
are run. The reason to move the tests behind the flag is because they
are too slow to enable by default.
LLD linking time on llvm-tblgen improved from 2m7s to 2.3s. About 60x
faster now in this case.
