Clang's default. When color is enabled, error or warning messages
are colored like this.

This is in the context of https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31109.
When LLD prints out errors for relocations, it tends to print out
extremely large number of errors (like millions) because it would
print out one error per relocation.
This patch makes LLD bail out if it prints out more than 20 errors.
You can configure the limitation using -error-limit argument.
-error-limit=0 means no limit.
I chose the flag name because Clang has the same feature as -ferror-limit.
"f" doesn't make sense to us, so I omitted it.

This change separates all versioned locals to be a separate list in config,
that was suggested by Rafael and simplifies the logic a bit.

Previously we did not support anything except "local: *", patch changes that.
Actually GNU rules of proccessing wildcards are more complex than that (http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/300):
There are 2 iteration for wildcards, at first iteration "*" wildcards are ignored and handled at second iteration.
Since we previously decided not to implement such complex rules,
I suggest solution that is implemented in this patch. So for "local: *" case nothing changes,
but if we have wildcarded locals,
they are processed before wildcarded globals.
This should fix several FreeBSD ports, one of them is jpeg-turbo-1.5.1 and
currently blocks about 5k of ports.

Patch allows to pass a symbols file to linker.
LLD will map symbols to sections and sort sections
in output according to symbol ordering file.
That can help to reduce the startup time and/or
amount of pagefaults during startup.
Also, interesting benchmark result was produced by Rafael Espíndola.
After applying the symbols file for clang he timed compiling
X86MCTargetDesc.ii to an object file.
The page faults went from just
56,988 to 56,946 since most faults are not in the binary.
Running time went from 4.403053515 to 4.178112244.
The speedup seems to be because of better cache
locality.

In short the patch introduces support for linking object file conform
MIPS N32 ABI [1]. This ABI is similar to N64 ABI but uses 32-bit
pointer size.
The most non-trivial requirement of this ABI is one more relocation
packing format. N64 ABI puts multiple relocation type into the single
relocation record. The N32 ABI uses series of successive relocations
with the same offset for this purpose. In this patch, new function
`mergeMipsN32RelTypes` handle this case and "convert" N32 relocation to
the N64 relocation so the rest of the code keep unchanged.
For now, linker does not support series of relocations applied to sections
without SHF_ALLOC bit. Probably later I will add the support or insert
some sort of assert into the `relocateNonAlloc` routine to catch this
case.

As the state of lld gets more complicated, shutting down gets more
expensive.
In a normal lld run we can just call _exit immediately after renaming
the temporary output file. We still want the ability to run a full
shutdown since that is useful for detecting memory leaks.
This patch adds a --full-shutdown flag and changes lit to use it.

The R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation is used in ARM exception tables to encode
a data dependency that will only be dereferenced by code in the
run-time support library. In a similar way to R_ARM_TARGET1 the
handling of the relocation is target specific, it maps to one of
R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32 or R_ARM_GOT_PREL. The choice depends on the
run-time library. R_ARM_GOT_PREL is used for linux and BSD,
R_ARM_ABS32 and R_ARM_REL32 are used for bare-metal.
The command line option --target2=<target> can be used to select the
relocation used for R_ARM_TARGET2. The default is R_ARM_GOT_PREL.

The array element specifies that a process executing this file may need to be able to map or protect memory regions as simultaneously executable and writable. If the system is unable or unwilling to permit that for this executable then it may fail immediately. This segment type is meaningful only for executable files and is ignored in other objects.

--section-start=sectionname=org
Locate a section in the output file at the absolute address given by org.
You may use this option as many times as necessary to locate multiple sections in the command line.
org must be a single hexadecimal integer; for compatibility with other linkers,
you may omit the leading `0x' usually associated with hexadecimal values.
Note: there should be no white space between sectionname, the equals sign (“<=>”), and org.
-Tbss=org
-Tdata=org

Fixed code that was not checked before on windows for me, because of testcases that are
disabled on that platform atm.
Inital commit message:
"[ELF] - Versionscript: do not treat non-wildcarded names as wildcards."
Previously we incorrectly handled cases when symbol name in extern c++ tag
was enclosed in quotes. Next case was treated as wildcard:
GLIBCXX_3.4 {
extern "C++" {
"aaa*"
}
But it should have not. Quotes around aaa here means that we should have do exact
name matching.
That is PR30268 which has name with pointer is interpreted as wildcard by lld:
extern "C++" {
"operator delete[](void*)";
Patch fixes the issue.

Versions can be assigned to symbols in two different ways.
One is the usual version scripts, and the other is special
symbol suffix '@'. If a symbol contains '@', the string after
that is considered to specify a version name.
Previously, we look for '@' for all symbols.
Anything that works on every symbol can be expensive because
the linker has to handle a lot of symbols. The search for '@'
was not an exception.
In this patch, I made two optimizations.
The first optimization is to handle '@' only when at least one
version is defined. If no versions are defined, no versions can
be assigned to any symbols, so it's waste of time to search for '@'.
The second optimization is to scan only suffixes of symbol names
instead of entire symbol names. Symbol names can be very long, but
symbol versions are usually short, so scanning entire symbol names
is waste of time, too.
There are some error cases which we no longer be able to detect
with this patch. I don't think it's a major drawback because they
are minor errors. Speed is more important.
This change improves LLD with debug info self-link time from
6.6993 seconds to 6.3426 seconds (or -5.3%).
