If no initial live symbols are set up, and deadStrip() == true,
the Resolver ends up reclaiming all the symbols that aren't absolute. This is wrong.
This patch fixes the issue by setting entrySymbolName() as live, and this allows
us to self-host lld when --gc-sections is enabled. There are still quite a few problems
with --gc-sections (test failures), so the option can't be enabled by default.

The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of
the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end
writing such file formats.
But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had
been slowing down everyday development.
The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you
had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from
front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to
YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data
was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in
an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes.

Use a wrapper function for symbol. Any undefined reference to symbol will be
resolved to "__wrap_symbol". Any undefined reference to "__real_symbol" will be
resolved to symbol.
This can be used to provide a wrapper for a system function. The wrapper
function should be called "__wrap_symbol". If it wishes to call the system
function, it should call "__real_symbol".
Here is a trivial example:
void * __wrap_malloc (size_t c)
{
printf ("malloc called with %zu\n", c);
return __real_malloc (c);
}
If you link other code with this file using --wrap malloc, then all calls
to "malloc" will call the function "__wrap_malloc" instead. The call to
"__real_malloc" in "__wrap_malloc" will call the real "malloc" function.

Previously we applied the LayoutPass to order atoms and then
apply elf::ArrayOrderPass to sort them again. The first pass is
basically supposed to sort atoms in the normal fashion (which
is to sort symbols in the same order as the input files).
The second pass sorts atoms in {init,fini}_array.<priority> by
priority.
The problem is that the LayoutPass is overkill. It analyzes
references between atoms to make a decision how to sort them.
It's slow, hard to understand, and above all, it doesn't seem
that we need its feature for ELF in the first place.
This patch remove the LayoutPass from ELF pass list. Now all
reordering is done in elf::OrderPass. That pass sorts atoms by
{init,fini}_array, and if they are not in the special section,
they are ordered as the same order as they appear in the command
line. The new code is far easier to understand, faster, and
still able to create valid executables.
Unlike the previous layout pass, elf::OrderPass doesn't count
any attributes of an atom (e.g. permissions) except its
position. It's OK because the writer takes care of them if we
have to.
This patch changes the order of final output, although that's
benign. Tests are updated.

lld generates an ELF by adhering to the ELF spec by aligning vma/fileoffset to a
page boundary, but this becomes an issue when dealing with large pages. This
adds support so that lld generated executables adheres to the ELF spec with the
rule vma % p_align = offset % p_align.
This is supported by the flag --no-align-segments.
This could be the default in few targets like X86_64 to save space on disk.

Summary:
This patch adds support for the general dynamic TLS access model for X86_64 (see www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf).
To properly support TLS, the patch also changes the __tls_get_addr atom to be a shared library atom instead of a regularly defined atom (the previous lld approach). This closely models the reality of a function that will be resolved at runtime by the dynamic linker and loader itself (ld.so). I was tempted to force LLD to link against ld.so itself to resolve these symbols, but since GNU ld does not need the ld.so library to resolve this symbol, I decided to mimic its behavior and keep hardwired a definition of __tls_get_addr in the lld code.
This patch also moves some important logic that previously was only available to the MIPS lld backend to be used to all ELF backends. This logic, which now lives in the DefaultLayout class, will monitor which external (shared lib) symbols are really imported by the current module and will only populate the dynamic symbol table with used symbols, as opposed to the previous approach of dumping all shared lib symbols in the dynamic symbol table. This is important to this patch to avoid __tls_get_addr from getting injected into all dynamic symbol tables.
By solving the previous problem of always adding __tls_get_addr, now the produced symbol tables are slightly smaller. But this impacted several tests that relied on hardwired/predefined sizes of the symbol table, requiring this patch to update such tests.
Test Plan: Added a LIT test case that exercises a simple use case of TLS variable in a shared library.

Patch from Rafael Auler!
When a shared lib has an undefined symbol that is defined in a regular object
(the program), the final executable must export this symbol in the dynamic
symbol table. However, in the current logic, lld only puts the symbol in the
dynamic symbol table if the symbol is weak. This patch fixes lld to put the
symbol in the dynamic symbol table regardless if it is weak or not.
This caused a problem in FreeBSD10, whose programs link against a crt1.o
that defines the symbol __progname, which is, in turn, undefined in libc.so.7
and will only be resolved in runtime.

defined in a shared library.
Now LLD does not export a strong defined symbol if it coalesces away a
weak symbol defined in a shared library. This bug affects all ELF
architectures and leads to segfault:
% cat foo.c
extern int __attribute__((weak)) flag;
int foo() { return flag; }
% cat main.c
int flag = 1;
int foo();
int main() { return foo() == 1 ? 0 : -1; }
% clang -c -fPIC foo.c main.c
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -shared -o libfoo.so ... foo.o
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -o a.out ... main.o libfoo.so
% ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The problem is caused by the fact that we lose all information about
coalesced symbols after the `Resolver::resolve()` method is finished.
The patch solves the problem by overriding the
`LinkingContext::notifySymbolTableCoalesce()` method and saving names
of coalesced symbols. Later in the `buildDynamicSymbolTable()` routine
we use this information to export these symbols.

There are two forms of `-l` prefixed expression:
* -l<libname>
* -l:<filename>
In the first case a linker should construct a full library name
`lib + libname + .[so|a]` and search this library as usual. In the second case
a linker should use the `<filename>` as is and search this file through library
search directories.

In general the linker scripts's GROUP command works like a pair
of command line options --start-group/--end-group. But there is
a difference in the files look up algorithm.
The --start-group/--end-group commands use a trivial approach:
a) If the path has '-l' prefix, add 'lib' prefix and '.a'/'.so'
suffix and search the path through library search directories.
b) Otherwise, use the path 'as-is'.
The GROUP command implements more compicated approach:
a) If the path has '-l' prefix, add 'lib' prefix and '.a'/'.so'
suffix and search the path through library search directories.
b) If the path does not have '-l' prefix, and sysroot is configured,
and the path starts with the / character, and the script being
processed is located inside the sysroot, search the path under
the sysroot. Otherwise, try to open the path in the current
directory. If it is not found, search through library search
directories.

Currently LLD supports --defsym only in the form of
--defsym=<symbol>=<integer>, where the integer is interpreted as the
absolute address of the symbol. This patch extends it to allow other
symbol name to be given as an RHS value. If a RHS value is a symbol
name, the LHS symbol will be defined as an alias for the RHS symbol.
Internally, a LHS symbol is represented as a zero-size defined atom
who has an LayoutAfter reference to an undefined atom, whose name is
the RHS value. Everything else is already implemented -- Resolver
will resolve the undefined symbol, and the layout pass will layout
the two atoms at the same location. Looks like it's working fine.
Note that GNU LD supports --defsym=<symbol>=<symbol>+<addend>. That
feature is out of scope of this patch.
