This is consistent with BFD objcopy.
Previously llvm objcopy would allocate space for SHT_NOBITS sections

Alternative to D74755. sectionWithinSegment() treats an empty section as having
a size of 1. Due to the rule, an empty .tdata will not be attributed to an
empty PT_TLS. (The empty p_align=64 PT_TLS is for Android Bionic's TCB
compatibility (ELF-TLS). See https://reviews.llvm.org/D62055#1507426)
Currently --only-keep-debug will not layout a segment with no section
(layoutSegmentsForOnlyKeepDebug()), thus p_offset of PT_TLS can go past the end
of the file. The strange p_offset can trigger validation errors for subsequent
tools, e.g. llvm-objcopy errors when reading back the separate debug file
(readProgramHeaders()).
This patch places such an empty segment according to its parent segment. This
special cases works for the empty PT_TLS used in Android. For a non-empty
segment, it should have at least one non-empty section and will be handled by
the normal code. Note, p_memsz PT_LOAD is rejected by both Linux and FreeBSD.

To avoid undefined behavior caught by -fsanitize=undefined on binary-paddr.test
void SectionWriter::visit(const Section &Sec) {
if (Sec.Type != SHT_NOBITS)
// Sec.Contents is empty while Sec.Offset may be out of bound
llvm::copy(Sec.Contents, Out.getBufferStart() + Sec.Offset);
}
After SHF_ALLOC sections are ordered by LMA:
* If initial sections are empty, GNU objcopy skips their contents while we
emit leading zeros. (binary-paddr.test %t4)
* If trailing sections are empty, GNU objcopy skips their contents while we
emit trailing zeros. (binary-paddr.test %t5)
This patch matches GNU objcopy's behavior. Linkers don't keep p_memsz
PT_LOAD segments. Such empty sections would not have a containing
PT_LOAD and `Section::ParentSegment` might be null if linkers fail to
optimize the file offsets (lld D79254).
In particular, without D79254, the arm Linux kernel's multi_v5_defconfig
depends on this behavior: in `vmlinux`, an empty .text_itcm is mapped at
a very high address (0xfffe0000) but the kernel does not expect
`objcopy -O binary` to create a very large `arch/arm/boot/Image`
(0xfffe0000-0xc0000000 ~= 1GiB). See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45632

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with

.text sh_address=0x1000 sh_offset=0x1000
.data sh_address=0x3000 sh_offset=0x2000
In an objcopy -O binary output, the distance between two sections equal
their LMA differences (0x3000-0x1000), instead of their sh_offset
differences (0x2000-0x1000). This patch changes our behavior to match
GNU.
This rule gets more complex when the containing PT_LOAD has
p_vaddr!=p_paddr. GNU objcopy essentially computes
sh_offset-p_offset+p_paddr for each candidate section, and removes the
gap before the first address.
Added tests to binary-paddr.test to catch the compatibility problem.

--only-keep-debug produces a debug file as the output that only
preserves contents of sections useful for debugging purposes (the
binutils implementation preserves SHT_NOTE and non-SHF_ALLOC sections),
by changing their section types to SHT_NOBITS and rewritting file
offsets.
See https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html
The intended use case is:
```
llvm-objcopy --only-keep-debug a a.dbg
llvm-objcopy --strip-debug a b
llvm-objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=a.dbg b
```
The current layout algorithm is incapable of deleting contents and
shrinking segments, so it is not suitable for implementing the
functionality.
This patch adds a new algorithm which assigns sh_offset to sections
first, then modifies p_offset/p_filesz of program headers. It bears a
resemblance to lld/ELF/Writer.cpp.

GNU objcopy documents that -B is only useful with architecture-less
input (i.e. "binary" or "ihex"). After D67144, -O defaults to -I, and
-B is essentially a NOP.
* If -O is binary/ihex, GNU objcopy ignores -B.
* If -O is elf*, -B provides the e_machine field in GNU objcopy.
So to convert a blob to an ELF, `-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` has to be specified.
`-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` creates an ELF with its
e_machine field set to EM_NONE in GNU objcopy, but a regular x86_64 ELF
in elftoolchain elfcopy. Follow the elftoolchain approach (ignoring -B)
to simplify code. Users that expect their command line portable should
