GRP_COMDAT deduplication is purely based on the signature symbol name in
ld.lld/GNU ld/gold. The local/global status is not part of the equation.
If the signature symbol is localized by --localize-hidden or
--keep-global-symbol, the intention is likely to make the group fully
localized. Drop GRP_COMDAT to suppress deduplication.

SHT_GROUP sections contain a reference to a symbol indicating their
"signature" symbol. The symbol table containing this symbol is referred
to by the group section's sh_link field. If llvm-objcopy is instructed
to remove the symbol table, it will emit an error.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46153.

To improve consistency and avoid unneeded shell feature (output
redirection).
While here, make other changes to improve consistency
--docnum 1 => --docnum=1
-docnum=x => --docnum=x
Currently, YAML has the following syntax for describing the symbols:
Symbols:
Local:
LocalSymbol1:
...
LocalSymbol2:
...
...
Global:
GlobalSymbol1:
...
Weak:
...
GNUUnique:
I.e. symbols are grouped by their bindings. That is not very convenient,
because:
It does not allow to set a custom binding, what can be useful for producing
broken/special outputs for test cases. Adding a new binding would require to
change a syntax (what we observed when added GNUUnique recently).
It does not allow to change the order of the symbols in .symtab/.dynsym,
i.e. currently all Local symbols are placed first, then Global, Weak and GNUUnique
are following, but we are not able to change the order.
It is not consistent. Binding is just one of the properties of the symbol,
we do not group them by other properties.
It makes the code more complex that it can be. This patch shows it can be simplified
with the change performed.
The patch changes the syntax to just:
Symbols:
Symbol1:
...
Symbol2:
...
...
With that, we are able to work with the binding field just like with any other symbol property.

Summary:
As pointed out in D53667, our use of hyphens in flags can be inconsistent, mixing `-` with `--`. This change makes all long style flags use `--`.
Automatically changed via:
```
find test/tools/llvm-objcopy/ELF -type f | xargs sed -i 's/ -\([a-zA-Z]\{3\}\)/ --\1/g'
```
Two false positives were manually fixed/reverted.

In this diff the elf-specific tests are moved into the subfolder llvm-objcopy/ELF
(the change was discussed in the comments on https://reviews.llvm.org/D54674).
A separate code reivew wasn't sent for this change
since Phabricator is failing to create such a large diff.
Test plan:
make check-all
make check-llvm-tools
make check-llvm-tools-llvm-objcopy
