Before rL295040 the linker just crashed when a GOT relocation (R_MIPS_GOT16)
comes from a merge section. To ensure that this bug still fixed it's enough
to check that the linker does not crash and create GOT entries.

Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:
-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data

Three MIPS-specific sections `.reginfo`, `.MIPS.options`, and `.MIPS.abiflags`
are used by loader to read their contents and setup environment for running
a program. Loader looks up these data in the corresponding segments:
`PT_MIPS_REGINFO`, `PT_MIPS_OPTIONS`, and `PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS` respectively.
This patch put these sections to separate segments like we do already
for ARM `SHT_ARM_EXIDX` section.

This generalizes the old heuristic placing SHT_DYNSYM SHT_DYNSTR first in the readonly SHF_ALLOC segment.

This CL places .dynsym and .dynstr at the beginning of SHF_ALLOC
sections. We do this to mitigate the possibility that huge .dynsym and
.dynstr sections placed between ro-data and text sections cause
relocation overflow.

This CL is to mitigate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation overflow problems for huge binaries that has near 4G allocated sections.
By examining those binaries, there're 2 issues contributes to the problem:
1). huge ".dynsym" and ".dynstr" stands in the way between .rodata and .text
2). _init_array_start/end are placed at 0 if no ".init_array" presents, this causes .text relocation against them become more prone to overflow.
This CL addresses 1st problem (the 2nd will be addressed in another CL.) by assigning a smaller sortrank to .dynsym and .dynstr thus they no longer stand in between.
