SectionOrder vector was a part of LinkerScript class.
It can be removed because Commands vector contains the
same information and SectiorOrder is just a subset.

Originally, linker scripts were basically an alternative way to specify
options to the command line options. But as we add more features to hanlde
symbols and sections, many member functions needed to be templated.
Now most the members are templated. It is probably time to template the
entire class.
Previously, LinkerScript is an executor of the linker script as well as
a storage of linker script configurations. This is not suitable to template
the class because when we are reading linker script files, we don't know
the ELF type yet, so we can't instantiate ELF-templated classes.
In this patch, I defined a new class, ScriptConfiguration, to store
linker script configurations. ScriptParser writes parse results to it,
and LinkerScript uses them.

This patch is based heavily on George Rimor's patch
http://reviews.llvm.org/D19221.
In the linker script, you can write expressions to compute addresses.
Currently we only support "+" operator. This adds a few more operators.
Since this patch adds * and /, we need to handle operator precedences
properly. I implemented that using the operator-precedence grammar.

* Do script driven layout only if SECTIONS section exist.
Initial commit message:
[ELF] - Implemented basic location counter support.
This patch implements location counter support.
It also separates assign addresses for sections to assignAddressesScript() if it scipt exists.
Main testcase is test/ELF/linkerscript-locationcounter.s, It contains some work with location counter. It is basic now.
Implemented location counter assignment and '+' operations.
Patch by myself with LOTS of comments and design suggestions from Rui Ueyama.

BSD linker scripts contain special cases to add NOP
padding to code sections. Syntax is next:
.init:
{
KEEP (*(.init))
} =0x90909090
(0x90 is NOP)
This patch implements that functionality.

When link-time garbage collection is in use (-gc-sections), it is
often useful to mark sections that should not be eliminated.
This is accomplished by surrounding an input section's wildcard
entry with KEEP(). Patch implements that command.

Each rule in SECTIONS commands is something like ".foo *(.baz.*)",
which instructs the linker to collect all sections whose name matches
".baz.*" from all files and put them into .foo section.
Previously, we didn't recognize the wildcard character. This patch
adds that feature.
Performance impact is a bit concerning because a linker script can
contain hundreds of SECTIONS rules, and doing pattern matching against
each rule would be too expensive. We could merge all patterns into
single DFA so that it takes O(n) to the input size. However, it is
probably too much at this moment -- we don't know whether the
performance of pattern matching matters or not. So I chose to
implement the simplest algorithm in this patch. I hope this simple
pattern matcher is sufficient.

Previously, we had code for linker scripts in Writer. This patch
separates that as LinkerScript class. The class provides a few
functions to query linker scripts and is also a container of some
linker-script-specific information.
Hopefully, Writer will only implement the default behavior and let
the new class handle gotchas regarding linker scripts.
