The request is mentioned on D129053. I feel that having this functionality is
mildly useful (not strong).
* Rename .ctors to .init_array and change sh_type to SHT_INIT_ARRAY (GNU objcopy
detects the special name but we don't).
* Craft tests for a new SHT_LLVM_* extension

* GNU objcopy supports --set-section-flags src=... --rename-section src=tst and --set-section-flags runs first.
* GNU objcopy processes --update-section before --rename-section.
To match the two behaviors, postpone --rename-section and allow its use together
with --set-section-flags.
As a side effect, --rename-section=.foo1=.foo2 --add-section=.foo1=/dev/null
leads to .foo2 while GNU objcopy surprisingly produces .foo1 (so
--set-section-flags --add-section --rename-section do not form a total order).
I think the deviation is fine as a total order makes more sense.
Rename set-section-flags-and-rename.test to
set-section-attr-and-rename.test and additionally test --set-section-alignment

* Refactor compression namespaces across the project, making way for a possible
introduction of alternatives to zlib compression.
Changes are as follows:
* Relocate the `llvm::zlib` namespace to `llvm::compression::zlib`.

clang 14 removed -gz=zlib-gnu support and ld.lld removed linker input support
for zlib-gnu in D126793. Now let's remove zlib-gnu from llvm-objcopy.
* .zdebug* sections are no longer recognized as debug sections. --strip* don't remove them.
They are copied like other opaque sections
* --decompress-debug-sections does not uncompress .zdebug* sections
* --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu is not supported
It is very rare but in case a user has object files using .zdebug . They can use
llvm-objcopy<15 or GNU objcopy for uncompression.
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu is unlikely ever used by anyone, so I do not
add a custom diagnostic.

While moving objcopy into separate library(D88827), NameOrPattern::create()
was mistakenly placed into ObjcopyOptions.cpp. This patch moves
the NameOrPattern::create() into CommonConfig.h. Additionally it adds
test for using NameOrPattern.

sections in the segment.

Current objcopy implementation has a possibility to add or update sections.
The incoming section is specified as a pair: section name and name of the file
containing section data. The interface does not allow to specify incoming
section as a memory buffer. This patch adds possibility to specify incoming
section as a memory buffer.
