The call sites will become slightly uglier (`cast<SharedFile>(s->file)`), but

In GNU ld, the definition precedence is: regular symbol assignment > relocatable object definition > `PROVIDE` symbol assignment.
GNU ld's internal linker scripts define the non-reserved (by C and C++)
edata/end/etext with `PROVIDE` so the relocatable object definition takes
precedence. This makes sense because `int end;` is valid.
We currently redefine such symbols if they are COMMON, but not if they are
regular definitions, so `int end;` with -fcommon is essentially a UB in ld.lld.
Fix this (also improve consistency and match GNU ld) by using the
`isDefined` code path for `isCommon`. In GNU ld, reserved identifiers like
`__ehdr_start` do not use `PROVIDE`, while we treat them all as `PROVIDE`, this
seems fine.

To decouple symbol initialization and section initialization, `Defined::section`
assignment should be postponed after input file parsing. To avoid spurious
duplicate definition error due to two definitions in COMDAT groups of the same
signature, we should postpone the duplicate symbol check.
The function is called postScan instead of a more specific name like
checkDuplicateSymbols, because we may merge Symbol::mergeProperties into
postScan. It is placed after compileBitcodeFiles to apply to ET_REL files
produced by LTO. This causes minor diagnostic regression
for skipLinkedOutput configurations: ld.lld --thinlto-index-only a.bc b.o
(bitcode definition prevails) won't detect duplicate symbol error. I think this

Main motivation: including `llvm/CodeGen/CommandFlags.h` in

lld::macho`, this results in conflicts with `lld::macho::Reloc`.
I suppose we could put `llvm::Reloc` into a nested namespace, but in general,
I think we should avoid transitively including too many header files in
a very widely used header like `CommonLinkerContext.h`.

For every definition in an extracted archive member, we intern the symbol twice,
once for the archive index entry, once for the .o symbol table after extraction.
This is inefficient.
Symbols in a --start-lib ObjFile/BitcodeFile are only interned once because the
result is cached in symbols[i].
Just handle an archive using the --start-lib code path. We can therefore remove
ArchiveFile and LazyArchive. For many projects, archive member extraction ratio
is high and it is a net performance win. Linking a Release build of clang is
1.01x as fast.
Note: --start-lib scans symbols in the same order that llvm-ar adds them to the
index, so in the common case the semantics should be identical. If the archive
symbol table was created in a different order, or is incomplete, this strategy
may have different semantics. Such cases are considered user error.
The `is neither ET_REL nor LLVM bitcode` error is changed to a warning.
Previously an archive may have such members without a diagnostic. Using a
warning prevents breakage.
* For some tests, the diagnostics get improved where we did not consider
the archive member name: `b.a:` => `b.a(b.o):`.
* `no-obj.s`: the link is now allowed, matching GNU ld
* `archive-no-index.s`: the `is neither ET_REL nor LLVM bitcode` diagnostic is
demoted to a warning.
* `incompatible.s`: even when an archive is unextracted, we may report an

Before C++17, the function object is evaluated in a unspecified order. In the following example: https://godbolt.org/z/8ao4vdsr7 the function object is either evaluated before or after the arguments, depending on the compiler. With MSVC and /std:c++14 the function object is evaluated after the arguments; with clang and gcc, it is evaluated before. With C++17, the function object is guaranteed to be evaluated before the arguments, see: https://riptutorial.com/cplusplus/example/19369/evaluation-order-of-function-arguments
In our case, the issue was that the `args` conversion to `ArrayRef` was evaluated before the lambda call `link`, which internally was calling `parseFlavor()`, which in turned modified `args`. We ended with an `ArrayRef` argument that reflected the previous contents of `args`.

For -no-pie/-pie, when `__real_foo` is interposable in a shared object, `foo` is

* the similar `__wrap_foo` <-> `foo` relation does not have the rule
A STV_PROTECTED shared definition does not set exportDynamic of a defined
symbol. This is on the basis that a protected definition cannot be preempted so
the export is unnecessary. However, the condition is imperfect because we don't
know whether the shared object was built with a symbolic option. Since dropping
the condition simplifies code and matches GNU ld, let's do it.
There's a couple of motivations here:
* LLD 12 (which I was originally testing with) was adding an undefined
symbol to the symbol table if you attempted to wrap an unreferenced
lazy symbol, which would later break `--no-allow-shlib-undefined`. LLD
on main actually produces a weak undefined symbol, so this doesn't
break anyway, but it's cleaner to not have the weak undefined symbol
as well. The new behavior also matches bfd and gold.
* PROVIDE in a linker script referencing a wrapped symbol would think
that an otherwise-unreferenced lazy symbol which was wrapped was
actually referenced, and therefore proceed with the definition, which
goes against expectations. The new behavior also matches bfd and gold.

Earlier in LLD's evolution, I tried to create the illusion that
subsections were indistinguishable from "top-level" sections. Thus, even
though the subsections shared many common field values, I hid those
common values away in a private Shared struct (see D105305). More
recently, however, @gkm added a public `Section` struct in D113241 that
served as an explicit way to store values that are common to an entire
set of subsections (aka InputSections). Now that we have another "common
value" struct, `Shared` has been rendered redundant. All its fields can
be moved into `Section` instead, and the pointer to `Shared` can be replaced
with a pointer to `Section`.
This `Section` pointer also has the advantage of letting us inspect other
subsections easily, simplifying the implementation of {D118798}.
P.S. I do think that having both `Section` and `InputSection` makes for
a slightly confusing naming scheme. I considered renaming `InputSection`
to `Subsection`, but that would break the symmetry with `OutputSection`.
It would also make us deviate from LLD-ELF's naming scheme.
