Summary:
Add a condition UnresolvedPolicy::Ignore to elf::warnUnorderedSymbol to suppress Sym->isUndefined() warnings from both
1) --symbol-ordering-file=
2) .llvm.call-graph-profile
If --unresolved-symbols=ignore-all is used,
no "undefined symbol" error/warning is emitted. It makes sense to not warn unorderable symbols.
Otherwise,
If an executable is linked, the default policy UnresolvedPolicy::ErrorOrWarn will issue a "undefined symbol" error. The unorderable symbol warning is redundant.
If a shared object is linked, it is possible that only part of object files are used and some symbols are left undefined. The warning is not very necessary.
In particular for .llvm.call-graph-profile, when linking a shared object, a call graph profile may contain undefined symbols. This case generated a warning before but it will be suppressed by this patch.

Currently there are a few odd things about the warning about symbols
that cannot be ordered. This patch fixes:
* When there is an undefined symbol that resolves to a shared file, we
were printing the location of the undefined reference.
* If there are multiple comdats, we were reporting them all.

Summary:
I originally tried to simplify code and then noticed that lld doesn't
do what it tells to the user by warn(). It says "unable to order
discarded symbol" but it actually can for sections eliminated by ICF.
With this patch, lld doesn't sort such sections.

There is some discussion as to the exact behaviour of combining ICF and
--symbol-ordering-file, but it seems beneficial to warn when attempting
to order the removed symbol regardless of the preferred approach.
llvm-svn: 325333
There are a number of different situations when symbols are requested
to be ordered in the --symbol-ordering-file that cannot be ordered for
some reason. To assist with identifying these symbols, and either
tidying up the order file, or the inputs, a number of warnings have
been added. As some users may find these warnings unhelpful, due to how
they use the symbol ordering file, a switch has also been added to
disable these warnings.
The cases where we now warn are:
* Entries in the order file that don't correspond to any symbol in the input
* Undefined symbols
* Absolute symbols
* Symbols imported from shared objects
* Symbols that are discarded, due to e.g. --gc-sections or /DISCARD/ linker script sections
* Multiple of the same entry in the order file
