Users should generally observe no difference as long as they don't use
unintended option forms. Behavior changes:
* `-t=d` is removed. Use `-t d` instead.
* `--demangle=false` and `--demangle=0` cannot be used. Omit the option or use `--no-demangle`. Other flag-style options don't have `--no-` forms.
* `--help-list` is removed. This is a `cl::` specific option.
* llvm-readobj now supports grouped short options as well.
* `--color` is removed. This is generally not useful (only apply to errors/warnings) but was inherited from Support.
Some adjustment to the canonical forms
(usually from GNU readelf; currently llvm-readobj has too many redundant aliases):
* --dyn-syms is canonical. --dyn-symbols is a hidden alias
* --file-header is canonical. --file-headers is a hidden alias
* --histogram is canonical. --elf-hash-histogram is a hidden alias
* --relocs is canonical. --relocations is a hidden alias
* --section-groups is canonical. --elf-section-groups is a hidden alias
OptTable avoids global option collision if we decide to support multiplexing for binary utilities.
* Most one-dash long options are still supported. `-dt, -sd, -st, -sr` are dropped due to their conflict with grouped short options.
* `--section-mapping=false` (D57365) is strange but is kept for now.
* Many `cl::opt` variables were unnecessarily external. I added `static` whenever appropriate.

... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld
which can handle REL.
Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.
Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

Imagine we have a YAML declaration of few sections: `foo1`, `<unnamed 2>`, `foo3`, `foo4`.
To put them into segment we can do (1*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo4
```
or we can use (2*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
or (3*) :
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
## "(index 2)" here is a name that we automatically created for a unnamed section.
- Section: (index 2)
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
It looks really confusing that we don't have to list all of sections.
At first I've tried to make this rule stricter and report an error when there is a gap
(i.e. when a section is included into segment, but not listed explicitly).
This did not work perfect, because such approach conflicts with unnamed sections/fills (see (3*)).
This patch drops "Sections" key and introduces 2 keys instead: `FirstSec` and `LastSec`.
Both are optional.

We have `--addrsig` implemented for `llvm-readobj`.
Usually it is convenient to use a single tool for dumping,
so it seems we might want to implement `--addrsig` for `llvm-readelf` too.
I've selected a simple output format which is a bit similar to one,
used for dumping of the symbol table. It looks like:
```
Address-significant symbols section '.llvm_addrsig' contains 2 entries:
Num: Name
1: foo
2: bar
```

This validates that sections listed for a segment in the YAML
declaration are ordered by their file offsets.
It might help to simplify the file size computation, but also
is useful by itself as helps to avoid issues in test cases and
to maintain their readability.

`PAddr` corresponds to `p_paddr` of a program header, which is the segment's physical
address for systems in which physical addressing is relevant. `p_paddr` is often equal
to `p_vaddr`, which is the virtual address of a segment.
This patch changes the default for `PAddr` from 0 to a value of `VAddr`.

To improve consistency and avoid unneeded shell feature (output
redirection).
While here, make other changes to improve consistency
--docnum 1 => --docnum=1
-docnum=x => --docnum=x
This creates the next subfolders in the test directory:
"COFF", "ELF", "MachO", "wasm".
I've also removed platform specific prefixes, like "coff-*".
One unused binary was removed as well: `Inputs/relocs.obj.elf-mips`
