This patch redefines the default optimization level as 1 and adds
new level 0. In the command line, it is -O0. The flag disables
costly but optional features so that the linker produces semantically
correct but larger output quickly. Currently it only disables
section merging.
This flag is not intended to be used for final production linking.
It is intended to be used in compile-link-test cycle.
Time to link clang with debug info is about 2x faster with the flag.

Partial (-z relro) and full (-z relro, -z now) relro cases are implemented.
Partial relro:
The ELF sections are reordered so that the ELF internal data sections (.got, .dtors, etc.) precede the program's data sections (.data and .bss).
.got is readonly, .got.plt is still writeable.
Full relro:
Supports all the features of partial RELRO, .got.plt is also readonly.

With this patch, lld creates PT_GNU_STACK segments only when all input
files have .note.GNU-stack sections. This is in line with other linkers
with a minor difference (we don't care about .note.GNU-stack rwx bits as
you can always remove .note.GNU-stack sections instead of setting x bit.)
At least, NetBSD loader does not understand PT_GNU_STACK segments and
reject any executables that have the section. This patch makes lld
compatible with such operating systems.
