Also this patch uses file-scope functions instead of class member function.
Now that ICF class is not visible from outside, InputSection class
can no longer be "friend" of it. So I removed the friend relation
and just make it expose the features to public.

GNU linkers disagree here.
Though both -version and -v are mentioned
in help to print the version information, GNU ld just normally exits,
while gold can continue linking. We are compatible with ld.bfd here.
This fixes PR31057.

readVersionDeclaration was to read anonymous version definition and
named version definition. Splitting it into two functions should
improve readability as the two cases are different enough.
I also changed a few helper functions to return values instead of
mutating given references.

MergeOutputSection class was a bit hard to use because it provdes
a series of finalize functions that have to be called in a right way
at a right time. It also intereacted with MergeInputSection, and the
logic was somewhat entangled between the two classes.
This patch simplifies it by providing only one finalize function.
Now, all you have to do is to call MergeOutputSection::finalize
when you have added all sections to the output section. Then, it
internally merges strings and initliazes StringPiece objects.
I think this is much easier to understand.
This patch also adds comments.

Since the output has a section table too, it is meaningful to compute
the sh_link. In a more practical note, the binutils' strip crashes if
sh_link is not set for SHT_ARM_EXIDX.

I hit an internal linker script that was defining _DYNAMIC instead of
letting the linker do it. It turns out that both bfd and gold allow
that.
This is pretty easy to implement, just make the linker defined symbol
weak. This should have no impact in the case where there is no user
defined symbol: The visibility is hidden, which causes the output to
still be local.

Linker script doesn't create a section if it has no content. So the following
script doesn't create .norelocs section if it doesn't have any .rel* sections.
.norelocs : { *(.rel*) }
Later, if you assert that the size of .norelocs is 0, LLD printed out
an error message, because it didn't allow calling SIZEOF() on nonexistent
sections.
This patch allows SIZEOF() on nonexistent sections, so that you can do
something like this.
ASSERT(SIZEOF(.norelocs), "shouldn't contain .rel sections!")
Note that this behavior is compatible with GNU.

LLD supports multi-threading, and it seems to be working well as
you can see in r287140. In short, LLD runs a few percent to 30%
faster with -threads and more than 50% faster if you are using
-build-id (your mileage may vary depending on your computer).
However, I don't think most users even don't know about that because
-threads is not a default option.
This patch enables it by default.

This patch updates a couple places where add_dependencies was being explicitly called to add dependencies on intrinsics_gen to instead use the DEPENDS named parameter. This cleanup is needed for a patch I'm working on to add a dependency debugging mode to the build system.

We used to create a vector contantaining all version definitions
with wildcards because doing that was efficient. All patterns were
compiled to a regexp and matched against symbol names. Because
a regexp can be converted to a DFA, matching against union of patterns
is as cheap as matching against one patter.
We are no longer converting them to regexp. Our own glob pattern
handler doesn't do such optimization. Therefore, creating a vector
no longer makes sense.
