--compress-sections <section-glib>=[none|zlib|zstd] is similar to --compress-debug-sections but applies to broader sections without the SHF_ALLOC flag. lld will report an error if a SHF_ALLOC section is matched. An interesting use case is to compress `.strtab`/`.symtab`, which consume a significant portion of the file size (15.1% for a release build of Clang). An older revision is available at https://reviews.llvm.org/D154641 . This patch focuses on non-allocated sections for safety. Moving `maybeCompress` as D154641 does not handle STT_SECTION symbols for `-r --compress-debug-sections=zlib` (see `relocatable-section-symbol.s` from #66804). Since different output sections may use different compression algorithms, we need CompressedData::type to generalize config->compressDebugSections.
