RELRO is a feature to make segments read-only after dynamic relocations
are applied. It is different from read-only segments because RELRO is
initially writable. And of course RELRO is different from writable
segments.
RELRO is not a very well known feature. We have a series of checks to
make a decision whether a section should be in a RELRO segment or not,
but we didn't describe why. This patch adds comments to explain how
that decision is made.

Executable sections should not be padded with zero by default. On some
architectures, 0x00 is the start of a valid instruction sequence, so can confuse
disassembly between InputSections (and indeed the start of the next InputSection
in some situations). Further, in the case of misjumps into padding, padding may
start to be executed silently.
On x86, the "0xcc" byte represents the int3 trap instruction. It is a single
byte long so can serve well as padding. This change switches x86 (and x86_64) to
use this value for padding in executable sections, if no linker script directive
overrides it. It also puts the behaviour into place making it easy to change the
behaviour of other targets when desired. I do not know the relevant instruction
sequences for trap instructions on other targets however, so somebody should add
this separately.
Because the old behaviour simply wrote padding in the whole section before
overwriting most of it, this change also modifies the padding algorithm to write
padding only where needed. This in turn has caused a small behaviour change with
regards to what values are written via Fill commands in linker scripts, bringing
it into line with ld.bfd. The fill value is now written starting from the end of
the previous block, which means that it always starts from the first byte of the
fill, whereas the old behaviour meant that the padding sometimes started mid-way
through the fill value. See the test changes for more details.

The patch introduces two new relocations expressions R_MIPS_GOT_GP and
R_MIPS_GOT_GP_PC. The first one represents a current value of `_gp`
pointer and used to calculate relocations against the `__gnu_local_gp`
symbol. The second one represents the offset between the beginning of
the function and the `_gp` pointer's value.
There are two motivations for introducing new expressions:
- It's better to keep all non-trivial relocation calculations in the
single place - `getRelocTargetVA` function.
- Relocations against both `_gp_disp` and `__gnu_local_gp` symbols
depend on the `_gp` value. It's a magical value points to the "middle"
of GOT. Now all relocations use a common `_gp` value. But in fact,
under some conditions each input file might require its own `_gp`
value. I'm going to implement it in the future patches. So it's
better to make `MipsGotSection` responsible for calculation of
the `_gp` value.

Unfortunately some consumers of our .o files produced with -r expect
only one section symbol per section. That is true of at least of go's
own linker.
Combining them is a somewhat convoluted process. We have to create a
symbol for every section since we don't know which ones will be
needed. The relocation sections also have to be written first to
handle the Elf_Rel addend.
I did consider a completely different approach:
We could remove the -r special case of relocation sections when
reading. We would instead have a copyRelocs function that is used
instead of scanRelocs. It would create a DynamicReloc for each
relocation and a RelocationSection for each input relocation section.
A complication of such change is that DynamicReloc would have to take
a section index and a input section instead of a symbol since with
-emit-relocs some DynamicReloc would hold relocations referring to the
dynamic symbol table and other to the static symbol table.
That would be a pretty big change, and if we do it it is probably
better to do it as a refactoring.
