Andrew Ng 77152a6b7a [LLD][ELF] Optimize linker script filename glob pattern matching NFC
Optimize the filename glob pattern matching in
LinkerScript::computeInputSections() and LinkerScript::shouldKeep().

Add InputFile::getNameForScript() which gets and if required caches the
Inputfile's name used for linker script matching. This avoids the
overhead of name creation that was in getFilename() in LinkerScript.cpp.

Add InputSectionDescription::matchesFile() and
SectionPattern::excludesFile() which perform the glob pattern matching
for an InputFile and make use of a cache of the previous result. As both
computeInputSections() and shouldKeep() process sections in order and
the sections of the same InputFile are contiguous, these single entry
caches can significantly speed up performance for more complex glob
patterns.

These changes have been seen to reduce link time with --gc-sections by
up to ~40% with linker scripts that contain KEEP filename glob patterns
such as "*crtbegin*.o".
