This change introduces new synthetic sections IpltSection, IgotPltSection
that represent the ifunc entries that would previously have been put in
the PltSection and the GotPltSection. The separation makes sure that
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations are placed after the non R_*_IRELATIVE
relocations, which permits ifunc resolvers to know that the .got.plt
slots will be initialized prior to the resolver being called.
A secondary benefit is that for ARM we can move the IgotPltSection and its
dynamic relocations to the .got and .rel.dyn as the ARM glibc expects all
the R_*_IRELATIVE relocations to be in the .rel.dyn

An upcoming change to the image base address for x86-64 (D27042) will
will change some addresses and hence the instruction encodings. We care
about the disassembled instructions, not their encodings.

Summary:
This patch adds a ".comment" section to an output. The comment
section contains the linker's version string. You can now
find out whether a binary is created by LLD or not using objdump
command like this.
$ objdump -s -j .comment foo
foo: file format elf64-x86-64
Contents of section .comment:

Compilers emits .comment section as well, so the output contains
both compiler and linker information.
Alternative considered:
I first tried to add a SHT_NOTE section because GNU gold does that.
A NOTE section starts with a header which contains content type.
It turned out that ld.gold sets type NT_GNU_GOLD_VERSION to their
NOTE section. So the NOTE type is only for GNU gold (surprise!)
Next, I tried to create ".linker-version" section. However, it seems
that reusing the existing ".comment" section is better because 1)
other tools already know about .comment section and is able to strip
it and 2) the result contans not only linker info but also compiler
info.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

This relocation is similar to R_*_RELATIVE except that the value used in this relocation is the program address returned by the function, which takes no arguments, at the address of
the result of the corresponding R_*_RELATIVE relocation as specified in the processor-specific ABI. The purpose of this relocation to avoid name lookup for locally defined STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols at load-time.
