After 1af25a9860, we stop unconditionally
retaining wrapped symbols, which means that LTO's summary-based global
dead stripping can eliminate them even if they'll be referenced by a
linker script after the wrapping is performed. Mark symbols referenced
in linker scripts as `referenced` in addition to `isUsedInRegularObj`,
so that the wrapping logic correctly sets `referencedAfterWrap` for the
symbols which will be referenced after wrapping, which will prevent LTO
from eliminating them.
An alternative would have been to change the `referencedAfterWrap` logic
to look at `isUsedInRegularObj` in addition to `referenced`, but
`isUsedInRegularObj` is also set in other places (e.g. for the entry
symbol), and it's not clear that we want `referencedAfterWrap` to take
all those places into account, so it seemed better to keep that logic
as-is and instead set `referenced` for linker script-referenced symbols.
