Justin Cady 447aa48b4a [ELF] Add REVERSE input section description keyword ...

The `REVERSE` keyword is described here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27565

It complements `SORT` by allowing the order of input sections to be reversed.

This is particularly useful for order-dependent sections such as .init_array,
where `REVERSE` can be used to either detect static initialization order fiasco
issues or as a mechanism to maintain .ctors element order while transitioning to
the modern .init_array. Such a transition is described here:
