This flag does not exist in GNU objcopy but has a major use case.
Debugging tools support the .build-id directory structure to find
debug binaries. There is no easy way to build this structure up
however. One way to do it is by using llvm-readelf and some crazy
shell magic. This implements the feature directly. It is most often
the case that you'll want to strip a file and send the original to
the .build-id directory but if you just want to send a file to the
.build-id directory you can copy to /dev/null instead.

Summary:
llvm-objcopy/strip support `--keep` (for sections) and `--keep-symbols` (for symbols). For consistency and clarity, rename `--keep` to `--keep-section`.
In fact, for GNU compatability, -K is --keep-symbol, so it's weird that the alias `-K` is not the same as the short-ish `--keep`.

Summary: ar and objcopy/strip all support configuring whether archives are written deterministically (timestamps/UIDs/GIDs/etc zero'd). This has been ported to llvm-ar (the U/D modifiers) but not yet to llvm-objcopy/strip.

In this diff we move out CopyConfig from llvm-oobjcopy.cpp into a separate header CopyConfig.h
to enable us (in the future) reuse this class in the other implementations of objcopy (for coff, mach-o).
Additionally this enables us to unload the complexity from llvm-objcopy.cpp a little bit.
Test plan: make check-all
