What was done:
1) .got.plt section is created for functions that requires PLT. .got.plt has 3 predefined empty entries now that are required for dynamic linker.
Also other new items created are configured to have correct jump to PLT[N].
2) PLT section now has PLT[0] entry, also others ones are configured to support PLT->GOT(.got.plt) calls.
3) Implemented .rel[a].plt sections (based on patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D13569).
4) Fixed plt relocations types (based on patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D13589).
NOTES:
The .plt.got zero entry is still empty now. According to ELF specification it should hold the address of the dynamic structure, referenced with the symbol
_DYNAMIC. The _DYNAMIC entry points to the .dynamic section which contains information used by the ELF interpreter to setup the binary.

This patch adds AsNeeded and IsUsed bool fields to SharedFile. AsNeeded bit
is set if the DSO is enclosed with --as-needed and --no-as-needed. IsUsed
bit is off by default. When we adds a symbol to the symbol table for dynamic
linking, we set its SharedFile's IsUsed bit.
If AsNeeded is set but IsUsed is not set, we don't want to write that
file's SO name to DT_NEEDED field.

This is a case that requires --start-group --end-group with regular ELF
linkers. Fortunately it is still possible to handle it with lazy symbols without
taking a second look at archives.
Thanks to Michael Spencer for the bug report.

Add symbol specified with -u as undefined which may cause additional
object files from archives to be linked into the resulting binary.

This is more consistent with OutputSection. This is also part of removing
the "Chunk" term from the ELF linker, since we just have input/output sections
and program headers.

The ELF spec says:
... if any reference to or definition of a name is a symbol with a
non-default visibility attribute, the visibility attribute must be
propagated to the resolving symbol in the linked object. If different
visibility attributes are specified for distinct references to or
definitions of a symbol, the most constraining visibility attribute
must be propagated to the resolving symbol in the linked object. The
attributes, ordered from least to most constraining, are:
STV_PROTECTED, STV_HIDDEN and STV_INTERNAL.

Now that we print a symbol table and all symbol kinds are at least declared,
we can test all combinations that don't produce an error.
This also includes a few fixes to keep the test passing:
* Keep the strong symbol in a weak X strong pair
* Handle common symbols.
The common X common case will be finished in a followup patch.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.
