Daniel Thornburgh 7e8a9020b1 [LLD] Add CLASS syntax to SECTIONS (#95323) ...

This allows the input section matching algorithm to be separated from
output section descriptions. This allows a group of sections to be
assigned to multiple output sections, providing an explicit version of
--enable-non-contiguous-regions's spilling that doesn't require altering
global linker script matching behavior with a flag. It also makes the
linker script language more expressive even if spilling is not intended,
since input section matching can be done in a different order than
sections are placed in an output section.

The implementation reuses the backend mechanism provided by
--enable-non-contiguous-regions, so it has roughly similar semantics and
limitations. In particular, sections cannot be spilled into or out of
INSERT, OVERWRITE_SECTIONS, or /DISCARD/. The former two aren't
intrinsic, so it may be possible to relax those restrictions later.
