--only-keep-debug produces a debug file as the output that only
preserves contents of sections useful for debugging purposes (the
binutils implementation preserves SHT_NOTE and non-SHF_ALLOC sections),
by changing their section types to SHT_NOBITS and rewritting file
offsets.
See https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html
The intended use case is:
```
llvm-objcopy --only-keep-debug a a.dbg
llvm-objcopy --strip-debug a b
llvm-objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=a.dbg b
```
The current layout algorithm is incapable of deleting contents and
shrinking segments, so it is not suitable for implementing the
functionality.
This patch adds a new algorithm which assigns sh_offset to sections
first, then modifies p_offset/p_filesz of program headers. It bears a
resemblance to lld/ELF/Writer.cpp.

GNU objcopy documents that -B is only useful with architecture-less
input (i.e. "binary" or "ihex"). After D67144, -O defaults to -I, and
-B is essentially a NOP.
* If -O is binary/ihex, GNU objcopy ignores -B.
* If -O is elf*, -B provides the e_machine field in GNU objcopy.
So to convert a blob to an ELF, `-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` has to be specified.
`-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` creates an ELF with its
e_machine field set to EM_NONE in GNU objcopy, but a regular x86_64 ELF
in elftoolchain elfcopy. Follow the elftoolchain approach (ignoring -B)
to simplify code. Users that expect their command line portable should
specify -B.

Additionally, add a test that verifies we keep the .gnu_debuglink section. This apparently was not always the case, and I'm not sure which commit fixed it, but there doesn't appear to be any test coverage to make sure we continue to do so.

Summary:
The matchers for section/symbol related flags (e.g. `--keep-symbol=Name` or `--regex --keep-symbol=foo.*`) are currently just vectors that are matched linearlly. However, adding wildcard support would require negative matching too, e.g. a symbol should be removed if it matches a wildcard *but* doesn't match some other wildcard.
To make the next patch simpler, consolidate matching logic to a class defined in CopyConfig that takes care of matching.

This implements the functionality described in
https://lld.llvm.org/Partitions.html. It works as follows:
- Reads the section headers using the ELF header at file offset 0;
- If extracting a loadable partition:
- Finds the section containing the required partition ELF header by looking it up in the section table;
- Reads the ELF and program headers from the section.
- If extracting the main partition:
- Reads the ELF and program headers from file offset 0.
- Filters the section table according to which sections are in the program headers that it read:
- If ParentSegment != nullptr or section is not SHF_ALLOC, then it goes in.
- Sections containing partition ELF headers or program headers are excluded as there are no headers for these in ordinary ELF files.

Patch by Seiya Nuta.
llvm-svn: 360233
GNU objcopy uses bfd_elf_get_default_section_type to decide the candidate section type,
which roughly translates to our [a] (I assume SEC_COMMON implies SHF_ALLOC):
(!(Sec.Flags & ELF::SHF_ALLOC) || Flags & (SectionFlag::SecContents | SectionFlag::SecLoad)))
Then, it updates the section type in bfd/elf.c:elf_fake_sections if:
if (this_hdr->sh_type == SHT_NULL)
this_hdr->sh_type = sh_type; // common case
else if (this_hdr->sh_type == SHT_NOBITS
&& sh_type == SHT_PROGBITS
&& (asect->flags & SEC_ALLOC) != 0) // uncommon case
...
this_hdr->sh_type = sh_type;
If the following condition is met the uncommon branch is executed:
if (elf_section_type (osec) == SHT_NULL
&& (osec->flags == isec->flags
|| (final_link
&& ((osec->flags ^ isec->flags)
& ~(SEC_LINK_ONCE | SEC_LINK_DUPLICATES | SEC_RELOC)) == 0)))
I suggest we just ignore this clause and follow the common case
behavior, which is done in this patch. Rationales to do so:
If --set-section-flags is a no-op (osec->flags == isec->flags)
(corresponds to the "readonly" test in set-section-flags.test), GNU
objcopy will require (Sec.Flags & ELF::SHF_ALLOC). [a] is essentially:
Flags & (SectionFlag::SecContents | SectionFlag::SecLoad)
This special case is not really useful. Non-SHF_ALLOC SHT_NOBITS
sections do not make much sense and it doesn't matter if they are
SHT_NOBITS or SHT_PROGBITS.
For all other RUN lines in set-section-flags.test, the new behavior
matches GNU objcopy, i.e. this patch improves compatibility.

llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is
referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is
different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are
doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new
switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do
precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead
of an error being emitted.
I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they
emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly
loaded.
