See `docs/ELF/linker_script.rst` for the new computation for sh_addr and sh_addralign.
`ALIGN(section_align)` now means: "increase alignment to section_align"
(like yet another input section requirement).
The "start of section .foo changes from 0x11 to 0x20" warning no longer
makes sense. Change it to warn if sh_addr%sh_addralign!=0.
To decrease the alignment from the default max_input_align,
use `.output ALIGN(8) : {}` instead of `.output : ALIGN(8) {}`
See linkerscript/section-address-align.test as an example.
When both an output section address and ALIGN are set (can be seen as an
"undefined behavior" https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2020-03/msg00115.html),
lld may align more than GNU ld, but it makes a linker script working
with GNU ld hard to break with lld.
This patch can be considered as restoring part of the behavior before D74736.

When the output section address (addrExpr) is specified, GNU ld warns if
sh_addr is different. This patch implements the warning.
Note, LinkerScript::assignAddresses can be called more than once. We
need to record the changed section addresses, and only report the
warnings after the addresses are finalized.

Follow-up for D74286.
Notations:
* alignExpr: the computed ALIGN value
* max_input_align: the maximum of input section alignments
This patch changes the following two cases to match GNU ld:
* When ALIGN is present, GNU ld sets output sh_addr to alignExpr, while lld use max(alignExpr, max_input_align)
* When addrExpr is specified but alignExpr is not, GNU ld sets output sh_addr to addrExpr, while lld uses `advance(0, max_input_align)`
Note, sh_addralign is still set to max(alignExpr, max_input_align).
lma-align.test is enhanced a bit to check we don't overalign sh_addr.
fixSectionAlignments() sets addrExpr but not alignExpr for the `!hasSectionsCommand` case.
This patch sets alignExpr as well so that max_input_align will be respected.
