Combined with the previous change, lld executable is ~2K smaller and some code
paths using InputSection::getParent are more efficient.
The fragmented headers lead to a design limitation that OutputSection has to be
incomplete, so we cannot use static_cast.
ObjFile::parse combines symbol initialization and resolution. Many tasks
unrelated to symbol resolution can be postponed and parallelized. This patch
extracts local symbol initialization and parallelizes it.
Technically the new function initializeLocalSymbols can be merged into
ObjFile::postParse, but functions like getSrcMsg may access the
uninitialized (all nullptr) local part of InputFile::symbols.
Linking chrome: 1.02x as fast with glibc malloc, 1.04x as fast with mimalloc
Depends on f456c3ae3f4182b23673929e8fe0aa18bcec4289 and D119908

In many call sites we know uncompression cannot happen (non-SHF_ALLOC, or the
data (even if compressed) must have been uncompressed by a previous pass).
Prefer rawData in these cases. data() increases code size and prevents
optimization on rawData.
This diff adds support for ADRP+ADD optimization for AArch64 described in
d2ca58c54b
i.e. under appropriate constraints
ADRP x0, symbol
ADD x0, x0, :lo12: symbol
can be turned into
NOP
ADR x0, symbol
Test plan: make check-all

Fix a regression after aabe901d57d6df4cd2786163359a7b2a7aae8c32 (`[ELF] Remove
one redundant computeBinding`): isLocal() does not indicate that the symbol is
originally local. For simplicity, just drop this optimization.
Move all variables at file-scope or function-static-scope into a hosting structure (lld::CommonLinkerContext) that lives at lldMain()-scope. Drivers will inherit from this structure and add their own global state, in the same way as for the existing COFFLinkerContext.

This extends D81784. Sections can be discarded when linking a
relocatable output. Before the patch, LLD did not update the content
of debug sections and only replaced the corresponding relocations with
R_*_NONE, which could break the debug information.

We only support both TLSDESC and TLS GD for x86 so this is an x86-specific
problem. If both are used, only one R_X86_64_TLSDESC is produced and TLS GD
accesses will incorrectly reference R_X86_64_TLSDESC. Fix this by introducing
SymbolAux::tlsDescIdx.

It is fairly easy to forget SectionBase::repl after ICF.
Let ICF rewrite a Defined symbol's `section` field to avoid references to
SectionBase::repl in subsequent passes. This slightly improves the --icf=none
performance due to less indirection (maybe for --icf={safe,all} as well if most
symbols are Defined).
With this change, there is only one reference to `repl` (--gdb-index D89751).
We can undo f4fb5fd7523f8e3c3b3966d43c0a28457b59d1d8 (`Move Repl to SectionBase.`)
but move `repl` to `InputSection` instead.

I added `PPC32Got2Section` D62464 to support .got2 but did not implement .got2
in another output section.
PR52799 has a linker script placing .got2 in .rodata, which causes a null
pointer dereference because a MergeSyntheticSection's file is nullptr.
Add the support.
sizeof(ObjFile<ELF64LE>) is decreased from 344 to 272 on an ELF64 system.
In a large link with 30000 ObjFiles, this may be 2+MiB saving.
Change std::vector members to SmallVector, and std::string members to
SmallString<0> (these members typically don't benefit from small string optimization).
On Linux x86-64 the lld executable is ~6k smaller.
This change implements support for R_ARM_THM_JUMP8 relocation in
addition to R_ARM_THM_JUMP11 which is already supported by LLD.

Many diagnostics use `getErrorPlace` or `getErrorLocation` to report a location.
In the presence of line table debug information, `getErrorPlace` uses a source
file location and ignores the object file location. However, the object file
location is sometimes more useful.
This patch changes "undefined symbol" and "out of range" diagnostics to report
both object/source file locations. Other diagnostics can use similar format if
needed.
The key idea is to let `InputSectionBase::getLocation` report the object file
location and use `getSrcMsg` for source file/line information. `getSrcMsg`
doesn't leverage `STT_FILE` information yet, but I think the temporary lack of
the functionality is ok.
For the ARM "branch and link relocation" diagnostic, I arbitrarily place the
source file location at the end of the line. The diagnostic is not very common
so its formatting doesn't need to be pretty.

For `InputSection` `.foo`, its `InputBaseSection::{areRelocsRela,firstRelocation,numRelocation}` basically
encode the information of `.rel[a].foo`. However, one uint32_t (the relocation section index)
suffices. See the implementation of `relsOrRelas`.
This change decreases sizeof(InputSection) from 184 to 176 on 64-bit Linux.
The maximum resident set size linking a large application (1.2G output) decreases by 0.39%.

The hack is irrelevant for two reasons:
* binutils 2.24 is quite old and cannot handle R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX from 2016 onwards anyway
* `canMergeToProgbits` allows combining SHT_INIT_ARRAY/SHT_FINI_ARRAY into SHT_PROGBITS
