This flag does not exist in GNU objcopy but has a major use case.
Debugging tools support the .build-id directory structure to find
debug binaries. There is no easy way to build this structure up
however. One way to do it is by using llvm-readelf and some crazy
shell magic. This implements the feature directly. It is most often
the case that you'll want to strip a file and send the original to
the .build-id directory but if you just want to send a file to the
.build-id directory you can copy to /dev/null instead.

Summary: The original intention of !Config.xx.empty() was probably to emphasize the thing that is currently considered, but I feel the simplified form is actually easier to understand and it is also consistent with the call sites in other llvm components.

Summary:
llvm-objcopy/strip support `--keep` (for sections) and `--keep-symbols` (for symbols). For consistency and clarity, rename `--keep` to `--keep-section`.
In fact, for GNU compatability, -K is --keep-symbol, so it's weird that the alias `-K` is not the same as the short-ish `--keep`.

Summary:
--localize-symbol and --localize-hidden will currently localize common symbols. GNU objcopy will not localize these symbols even when explicitly requested, which seems reasonable; common symbols should always be global so they can be merged during linking.

Summary: --keep-global-symbol and --globalize-symbol don't make sense for undefined symbols, so it should be ignored for those symbols. This matches GNU objcopy behavior.
