LazySymbol (used by wasm port) is a more accurate name (the struct is
not about an object). However, the ELF port calls this LazyObject likely
because we used to have LazyArchive (removed by
https://reviews.llvm.org/D119074), and LazyObject has a similar naming
convention (LazyObjectSymbol would be better, but it is too long).

The two fields are similar.
`versionId` is the Verdef index in the output file. It is set for
`--exclude-id=`, version script patterns, and `sym@ver` symbols.
`verdefIndex` is the Verdef index of a Sharedfile (SharedSymbol or a
copy-relocated Defined), the default value -1 is also used to indicate
that the symbol has not been matched by a version script pattern
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D65716).
It seems confusing to have two fields. Merge them so that we can
allocate one bit for #70130 (suppress --no-allow-shlib-undefined
error in the presence of a DSO definition).
When an input section is matched by /DISCARD/ in a linker script, GNU ld
reports errors for relocations referencing symbols defined in the section:
`.aaa' referenced in section `.bbb' of a.o: defined in discarded section `.aaa' of a.o
Implement the error by demoting eligible symbols to `Undefined` and changing
STB_WEAK to STB_GLOBAL. As a side benefit, in relocatable links, relocations
referencing symbols defined relative to /DISCARD/ discarded sections no longer
set symbol/type to zeros.
It's arguable whether a weak reference to a discarded symbol should lead to
errors. GNU ld reports an error and our demoting approach reports an error as
well.

This adds a new -Bsymbolic option that directly binds all non-weak
symbols. There's a couple of reasons motivating this:
* The new flag will match the default behavior on Mach-O, so you can get
consistent behavior across platforms.
* We have use cases for which making weak data preemptible is useful,
but we don't want to pessimize access to non-weak data. (For a large
internal app, we measured 2000+ data symbols whose accesses would be
unnecessarily pessimized by `-Bsymbolic-functions`.)

This implements support for relaxing these relocations to use the GP
register to compute addresses of globals in the .sdata and .sbss
sections.
This feature is off by default and must be enabled by passing
--relax-gp to the linker.

{D116279}, in addition to adding support for other demanglers, also
factored out some of the demangling logic. However, I don't think the
abstraction really carries its weight -- after {D135942}, only the ELF
and WASM backends call it with anything other than a non-constant
`shouldDemangle` argument. The COFF and Mach-O backends were already
doing the should-demangle check before calling `demangle()`.

Add LLVM_LIBRARY_VISIBILITY to remove unneeded GOT and unique_ptr
indirection. We can move other global variables into ctx without
indirection concern. In the long term we may consider passing Ctx
as a parameter to various functions and eliminate global state as
much as possible and then remove `Ctx::reset`.
Symbol::replace intends to overwrite a few fields (mostly Elf{32,64}_Sym
fields), but the implementation copies all fields then restores some old fields.
This is error-prone and wasteful. Add Symbol::overwrite to copy just the
needed fields and add other overwrite member functions to copy the extra
fields.
This simplifies SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo. Add dsoProtected to be used
in canDefineSymbolInExecutable and get the side benefit that the protected DSO
preemption diagnostic is clearer.
Otherwise they fires for every single file which includes the header,
which is very noisy when building.

In GCC -fgnu-unique output, STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbols are always defined relative
to a section in a COMDAT group. Currently `other` cannot be STB_GNU_UNIQUE for
valid input, so this patch is NFC.
If we switch to the model that ignores COMDAT resolution when performing symbol
resolution (D120626), this will fix bogus `relocation refers to a symbol in a
discarded section` errors when mixing -fno-gnu-unique objects with -fgnu-unique

To decouple symbol initialization and section initialization, `Defined::section`
assignment should be postponed after input file parsing. To avoid spurious
duplicate definition error due to two definitions in COMDAT groups of the same
signature, we should postpone the duplicate symbol check.
The function is called postScan instead of a more specific name like
checkDuplicateSymbols, because we may merge Symbol::mergeProperties into
postScan. It is placed after compileBitcodeFiles to apply to ET_REL files
produced by LTO. This causes minor diagnostic regression
for skipLinkedOutput configurations: ld.lld --thinlto-index-only a.bc b.o
(bitcode definition prevails) won't detect duplicate symbol error. I think this
is an acceptable compromise. The important cases where (a) both files are
bitcode or (b) --thinlto-index-only is unused are still detected.

For every definition in an extracted archive member, we intern the symbol twice,
once for the archive index entry, once for the .o symbol table after extraction.
This is inefficient.
Symbols in a --start-lib ObjFile/BitcodeFile are only interned once because the
result is cached in symbols[i].
Just handle an archive using the --start-lib code path. We can therefore remove
ArchiveFile and LazyArchive. For many projects, archive member extraction ratio
is high and it is a net performance win. Linking a Release build of clang is
1.01x as fast.
Note: --start-lib scans symbols in the same order that llvm-ar adds them to the
index, so in the common case the semantics should be identical. If the archive
symbol table was created in a different order, or is incomplete, this strategy
may have different semantics. Such cases are considered user error.
The `is neither ET_REL nor LLVM bitcode` error is changed to a warning.
Previously an archive may have such members without a diagnostic. Using a
warning prevents breakage.
* For some tests, the diagnostics get improved where we did not consider
the archive member name: `b.a:` => `b.a(b.o):`.
* `no-obj.s`: the link is now allowed, matching GNU ld
* `archive-no-index.s`: the `is neither ET_REL nor LLVM bitcode` diagnostic is
demoted to a warning.
* `incompatible.s`: even when an archive is unextracted, we may report an
"incompatible with" error.

Placeholders (-y and redirectSymbols removed versioned symbols) are very rare and
the check just makes symbol table iteration slower. Most iterations filter out
placeholders anyway, so this change just drops the filter behavior.
For "Add symbols to symtabs", we need to ensure that redirectSymbols sets
isUsedInRegularObj to false when making a symbol placeholder, to avoid an
assertion failure in SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
