When building COFF programs many targets such as mingw prefer
to have a gnu ld frontend. Rather then having a fully fledged
standalone driver we wrap a shim around the LINK driver.

Code suggested by Rui Ueyama in PR34238 comments.
Previously LTO optimized away symbols referenced from linker script
because did not see that them are used from regular objects.
Patch adds such symbols as undefined earlier, before running LTO,
what sets IsUsedInRegularObj for them and fixes the issue.

Reviewing another change I noticed that we use "getSymbols" to mean
different things in different files. Depending on the file it can
return
ArrayRef<StringRef>
ArrayRef<SymbolBody*>
ArrayRef<Symbol*>
ArrayRef<Elf_Sym>
With this change it always returns an ArrayRef<SymbolBody*>. The other
functions are renamed getELFsyms() and getSymbolNames().
Note that we cannot return ArrayRef<Symbol*> instead of
ArreyRef<SymbolBody*> because local symbols have a SymbolBody but not
a Symbol.

Previously we handled this option implicitly, only
for infering unresolved symbols handling policy.
ld man says: "--noinhibit-exec Retain the executable
output file whenever it is still usable",

Summary:
If the linker is invoked with `--chroot /foo` and `/bar/baz.o`, it
tries to read the file from `/foo/bar/baz.o`. This feature is useful
when you are dealing with files created by the --reproduce option.

-F name
--filter=name
When creating an ELF shared object, set the internal DT_FILTER field to the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol table of the shared object which is being created should be used as a filter on the symbol table of the shared object name.
If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you run the program, the dynamic linker will see the DT_FILTER field. The dynamic linker will resolve symbols according to the symbol table of the filter object as usual, but it will actually link to the definitions found in the shared object name. Thus the filter object can be used to select a subset of the symbols provided by the object name.
(https://linux.die.net/man/1/ld).

In r305364, Rui changed the mechanism that parses -z option values slightly.
This caused a bug, as demonstrated by this test, which now fails:
---
# REQUIRES: x86
# RUN: llvm-mc -filetype=obj -triple=x86_64-pc-linux %s -o %t.o
# RUN: ld.lld %t.o -o %t -z max-page-size
.global _start
_start:
nop
---
Before, the link succeeded and set the max-page-size to the target default.
After we get the following two error messages:
"invalid max-page-size: "
"max-page-size: value isn't a power of 2"
The latter error is because an uninitialised variable ends up being passed back
to getMaxPageSize).
This change ensures we only get the first error.

This is used by linux kernel build system.
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt "3.2 Built-in object goals")
It has for example next configuration for linking built-in.o files:
drivers-y := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.o, $(drivers-y))
drivers-$(CONFIG_PCI) += arch/ia64/pci/
...
drivers-$(CONFIG_OPROFILE) += arch/ia64/oprofile/
Im most simple case all CONFIG_* options are off. That means linker is called with empty input archive,
emulation option and no inputs and expected to generate some relocatable output.
ld.bfd is able to do that, we dont.
Patch allows to support this case.

The .dynamic section of an ELF almost doesn't need to be written to with
the exception of the DT_DEBUG entry. For several reasons having a read
only .dynamic section would be useful. This change adds the -z keyword
"rodynamic" which forces .dynamic to be read-only. In this case DT_DEBUG
will not be emited.

The test ELF/lto/thin-archivecollision.ll was not testing what it
wanted to test. It needs two archive members with the same name, but
different offsets.
Without this we could remove all references of OffsetInArchive and all

Fixing the test showed that the --whole-archive case was broken, which
this patch fixes.

It seems virtually everyone who tries to do LTO build with Clang and
LLD was hit by a mistake to forget using llvm-ar command to create
archive files. I wasn't an exception. Since this is an annoying common
issue, it is probably better to handle that gracefully rather than
reporting an error and tell the user to redo build with different
configuration.

gnu ld description of option is:
--defsym=symbol=expression
Create a global symbol in the output file, containing the absolute address given
by expression. You may use this option as many times as necessary to define multiple
symbols in the command line. A limited form of arithmetic is supported for the
expression in this context: you may give a hexadecimal constant or the name of an
existing symbol, or use "+" and "-" to add or subtract hexadecimal constants or
symbols. If you need more elaborate expressions, consider using the linker command
language from a script. Note: there should be no white space between symbol,
the equals sign ("="), and expression.
In compare with D32082, this patch does not support math expressions and absolute
symbols. It implemented via code similar to --wrap. That covers 1 of 3 possible
--defsym cases.

Fixes PR32572.
When
(a) a library has no soname
and (b) library is given on the command line with path (and not through -L/-l flags)
DT_NEEDED entry for such library keeps the path as given.
This behavior is consistent with gold and bfd, and is used in compiler-rt test suite.

LinkerScript used to be a template class, so we couldn't instantiate
that class in elf::link. We instantiated ScriptConfig class earlier
instead so that the linker script parser can store configurations to

separate ScriptConfig from LinkerScript. This patch merges them.

We had a few Config member functions that returns configuration values.

never change.

Patch from James Henderson.
If a user has a long link, e.g. due to a large LTO link, they do not
wish to run it and find that it failed because there was a mistake in
their command-line, after they waited for some significant amount of
time. This change adds some basic checking of the linker output file
path, which is run shortly after parsing the command-line and linker
script. An error is emitted if LLD cannot write to the specified path.

The list of all input sections was defined in SymbolTable class for a

need ELFT.
