This patch changes llvm-objcopy's behaviour to not strip sections that
are in segments, if they otherwise would be due to a stripping operation
(--strip-all, --strip-sections, --strip-non-alloc). This preserves the
segment contents. It does not change the behaviour of --strip-all-gnu
(although we could choose to do so), because GNU objcopy's behaviour in
this case seems to be to strip the section, nor does it prevent removing
of sections in segments with --remove-section (if a user REALLY wants to
remove a section, we should probably let them, although I could be
persuaded that warning might be appropriate). Tests have been added to
show this latter behaviour.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41006.

This is a reland of r356129, attempting to fix greendragon failures
due to a suspected compatibility issue with od on the greendragon bots
versus other versions.
