Reland #120514 after 2f6e3df08a fixed
iteration order issue and libstdc++/libc++ differences.

Both options instruct the linker to optimize section layout with the
following goals:
* `--bp-compression-sort=[data|function|both]`: Improve Lempel-Ziv
compression by grouping similar sections together, resulting in a
smaller compressed app size.
* `--bp-startup-sort=function --irpgo-profile=<file>`: Utilize a
temporal profile file to reduce page faults during program startup.
The linker determines the section order by considering three groups:
* Function sections ordered according to the temporal profile
(`--irpgo-profile=`), prioritizing early-accessed and frequently
accessed functions.
* Function sections. Sections containing similar functions are placed
together, maximizing compression opportunities.
* Data sections. Similar data sections are placed together.
Within each group, the sections are ordered using the Balanced
Partitioning algorithm.
The linker constructs a bipartite graph with two sets of vertices:
sections and utility vertices.
* For profile-guided function sections:
+ The number of utility vertices is determined by the symbol order
within the profile file.
+ If `--bp-compression-sort-startup-functions` is specified, extra
utility vertices are allocated to prioritize nearby function similarity.
* For sections ordered for compression: Utility vertices are determined
by analyzing k-mers of the section content and relocations.
The call graph profile is disabled during this optimization.
When `--symbol-ordering-file=` is specified, sections described in that
file are placed earlier.
