ld.lld: error: discarding .rela.plt section is not allowed
The linker script discards with the following matches
*(.glink .iplt .plt .rela* .comment)

Currently when we build input sections list in linker script
we ignore all rel[a] sections. That was done to support
scripts like .rela.dyn : { *(.rela.data) } for emit relocs.
Though as a result following scripts were also silently ignored:
/DISCARD/ : { *(.rela.plt)
/DISCARD/ : { *(.rela.dyn)
and we produced output with this sections. That is not ideal.
The solution this patch suggests is simple: do not ignore synthetic
rel[a] sections. That way we can enable common discarding logic
for them and report a proper error.

to separate commons based on file name patterns. The following linker script
construct does not work because commons are allocated before section placement
is done and the only synthesized BssSection that holds all commons has no file
associated with it:
SECTIONS { .common_0 : { *file0.o(COMMON) }}
This patch changes the allocation of commons to create a section per common
symbol and let the section logic do the layout.
