Change the default to facilitate GC for metadata section usage, so that they don't need SHF_LINK_ORDER or SHF_GROUP just to drop the unhelpful rule (if they want to be unconditionally retained, use SHF_GNU_RETAIN (`__attribute__((retain))`) or linker script `KEEP`). The dropped SHF_GROUP special case makes the behavior of -z start-stop-gc and -z nostart-stop-gc closer to GNU ld>=2.37 (https://sourceware.org/PR27451). However, we default to -z start-stop-gc (which actually matches more closely to GNU ld before 2015-10 https://sourceware.org/PR19167), which is different from modern GNU ld (which has the unhelpful rule to work around glibc). As a compensation, we special case `__libc_` sections as a workaround for glibc<2.34 (https://sourceware.org/PR27492). Since -z start-stop-gc as the default actually matches the traditional GNU ld behavior, there isn't much to be aware of. There was a systemd usage which has been fixed by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/19144 |

Benchmarking
In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
