Summary:
Port GNU Objcopy -G/--keep-global-symbol(s).
This is slightly different than the already-implemented --globalize-symbol, which marks a symbol as global when copying. When --keep-global-symbol (alias -G) is used, *only* those symbols marked will stay global, and all other globals are demoted to local. (Also note that it doesn't *promote* a symbol to global). Additionally, there is a pluralized version of the flag --keep-global-symbols, which effectively applies --keep-global-symbol for every non-comment in a file.

Summary:
Add support for --rename-section flags from gnu objcopy.
Not all flags appear to have an effect for ELF objects, but allowing them would allow easier drop-in replacement. Other unrecognized flags are rejected.
This was only tested by comparing flags printed by "readelf -e <.o>" against the output of gnu vs llvm objcopy, it hasn't been tested to be valid beyond that.

Summary:
Add basic support for --rename-section=old=new to llvm-objcopy.
A full replacement for GNU objcopy requires also modifying flags (i.e. --rename-section=old=new,flag1,flag2); I'd like to keep that in a separate change to keep this simple.

This option just keeps being a problem and really needs to be implemented
in some fashion. Implementing it properly requires some kind of
"replaceSectionReference" method because all the existing links need to be
maintained. The desired behavior is just for allocated sections to become
NOBITS but actually implementing that is rather tricky due to the current
design of llvm-objcopy. However converting allocated sections to NOBITS is
just an optimization and not something debuggers need. Debuggers can debug
a stripped executable and take an unstripped executable for that stripped
executable as input. Additionally allocated sections account for a very
small part of debug binaries so this optimization is quite small. I propose
that for the time being we implement this as a NOP so that people can use
llvm-objcopy where they need to, just in a sub-optimal way.
This option has already blocked a lot of people and its currently blocking me.

This option permits to explicitly keep the specified
symbol so that it doesn't get removed.

llvm-strip is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for binutils strip.
To start the ball rolling this diff adds the initial bits for llvm-strip,
more features will be added incrementally over time.
