Because of -ffunction-sections (and maybe other use cases I'm not aware of?) it
can occur that we need more than 0xfeff sections but ELF dosn't support that
many sections. To solve this problem SHN_XINDEX exists and with it come a whole
host of changes for section indexes everywhere. This change adds support for
those cases which should allow llvm-objcopy to copy binaries that have an
arbitrary number of sections.

Summary:
The current implementation was writing the file name without the extension
whereas GNU objcopy writes the full filename. With this change GDB will now
load the .debug file instead of silently ignoring it.

Some ELF files produced by lld may have zero-size segment placeholders as shown
below. Since GNU_STACK Offset is 0, the current code makes it the lowest used
offset, and relocates all the segments over the ELF header. The resulting
binary is total garbage.
This change fixes how llvm-objcopy handles PT_PHDR properlly by treating ELF
headers and the program header table as segments to allow the layout algorithm
decide where those should go.

Tests were working on my system because the old correct files were left over
and the new bug was that the output files were not being output at all.
Consequently the test work on my system but fail on any other system.
This reverts commit r323484.

While writing code for input and output formats in llvm-objcopy it became
apparent that there was a code health problem. This change attempts to solve
that problem by refactoring the code to use Reader and Writer objects that can
read in different objects in different formats, convert them to a single shared
internal representation, and then write them to any other representation.
New classes:
Reader: the base class used to construct instances of the internal
representation
Writer: the base class used to write out instances of the internal
representation
ELFBuilder: a helper class for ELFWriter that takes an ELFFile and converts it
to a Object
SectionVisitor: it became necessary to remove writeSection from SectionBase
because, under the new Reader/Writer scheme, it's possible to convert between
ELF Types such as ELF32LE and ELF32BE. This isn't possible with writeSection
because it (dynamically) depends on the underlying section type *and*
(statically) depends on the ELF type. Bad things would happen if the underlying
sections for ELF32LE were used for writing to ELF64BE. To avoid this code smell
(which would have compiled, run, and output some nonsesnse) I decoupled writing
of sections from a class.
SectionWriter: This is just the ELFT templated implementation of
SectionVisitor. Many classes now have this class as a friend so that the
writing methods in this class can write out private data.
ELFWriter: This is the Writer that outputs to ELF
BinaryWriter: This is the Writer that outputs to Binary
ElfType: Because the ELF Type is not a part of the Object anymore we need a way
to construct the correct default Writer based on properties of the Reader. This
enum just keeps track of the ELF type of the input so it can be used as the
default output type as well.
Object has correspondingly undergone some serious changes as well. It now has
more generic methods for building and manipulating ELF binaries. This interface
makes ELFBuilder easy enough to use and will make the BinaryReader/Builder easy
to create as well. Most changes in this diff are cosmetic and deal with the
fact that a method has been moved from one class to another or a change from a
pointer to a reference. Almost no changes should result in a functional
difference (this is after all a refactor). One minor functional change was made
and the result can be seen in remove-shstrtab-error.test. The fact that it
fails hasn't changed but the error message has changed because that failure is
detected at a later point in the code now (because WriteSectionHeaders is a
property of the ElfWriter *not* a property of the Object). I'd say roughly
80-90% of this code is cosmetically different, 10-19% is different but
functionally the same, and 1-5% is functionally different despite not causing a
change in tests.

For sections with different virtual and physical addresses, alignment and
placement in the output binary should be based on the physical address.
Ran into this problem with a bare metal ARM project where llvm-objcopy added a
lot of zero-padding before the .data section that had differing addresses. GNU
objcopy did not add the padding, and after this fix, neither does llvm-objcopy.
Update a test case so a section has different physical and virtual addresses.

The original -O binary implementation just copied segment data from the
object and dumped it into a file. This doesn't take into account any
operations performed on objects such as section removal. GNU objcopy has
some specific behavior that we'd also like to respect. For instance
using -O binary and -j <some_section> will dump <some_section> to a
file. This change implements GNU objcopy style -O binary to as close of
an approximation as I can determine.

Just aligning segment offsets to segment alignment is incorrect and also
wastes more space than is needed. The requirement is that p_offset ==
p_addr modulo p_align *not* that p_offset == 0 modulo p_align. Generally
speaking we've been using p_addr == 0 modulo p_align. In fact yaml2obj
can't even produce a valid situation which causes llvm-objcopy to
produce incorrect results because alignment and offset were both
inherited from the sections the program header covers. This change fixes
this bad behavior in llvm-objcopy.

There's a lot of misuse of Twine scattered around LLVM. This
ranges in severity from benign (returning a Twine from a function
by value that is just a string literal) to pretty sketchy (storing
a Twine by value in a class). While there are some uses for
copying Twines, most of the very compelling ones are confined
to the Twine class implementation itself, and other uses are
either dubious or easily worked around.
This patch makes Twine's copy constructor private, and fixes up
all callsites.

ubsan caught an issue I made where I was converting a null pointer to a
reference.
elf utils implements a particularly extreme form of stripping that I'd
like to support. eu-strip has an option called "strip-sections" that
removes all section headers and leaves only program headers and the
segment data. I have implemented this option partly as a test but mainly
because in Fuchsia we would like to use this option to minimize the size
of our executables. The other strip options that are on my list include
--strip-all and --strip-debug. This is a preliminary implementation that
I'd like to start using in Fuchsia builds if possible. This change
implements such a stripping option for llvm-objcopy

If a Section had Type SHT_STRTAB (which could happen if you had a
.dynstr section) it was possible to cast Section to StringTableSection
and get away with any operation that was supported by SectionBase
without it being noticed. This change makes this bug easier to notice
and fixes it where it occurred. It also made me realize that there was
some duplication of efforts in the loop that calls ::initialize. These
issues are all fixed by this change.

Somehow a few massive errors slipped though the cracks of testing.
1. The code in Segment::finalize was left over from the old layout
algorithm. In certain situations this would cause very strange issues
with segment layout. For instance in the shift-segments.test case it
would cause the second segment to have the same offset as the first.
2. In debugging this I discovered another issue. Namely section alignment
was not being computed based on Section->Align but instead
Section->Offset which is bizarre and makes no sense. I have no clue how
it worked in the first place. This issue is also fixed
3. Fixing #2 exposed a bug where things were not being written past the end
of the file that technically should have been. This was because in
certain cases (like overlapping-segments) the end of the file wouldn't
always be bumped if the offset could be chosen relative to an existing
segment that already had it's offset chosen. For fully nested segments
this is fine but for overlapping segments this leaves the end of the
file short. So I changed how the offset is bumped when looping though
segments.

This change refactors some of the code to allow for some code
deduplication in later diffs as well as just to make adding a new
section type more self contained to the class itself. The idea for this
was first mentioned by James in D 37915 and will be used in that change
as recommended.
This change follows changes for dynamic sections but precedes support
for dynamic relocations.
