`--gap-fill <value>` fills the gaps between sections with a specified
8-bit value, instead of zero.
`--pad-to <address>` pads the output binary up to the specified load
address, using the 8-bit value from `--gap-fill` or zero.
These options are only supported for ELF input and binary output.
This patch replaces uses of StringRef::{starts,ends}with with
StringRef::{starts,ends}_with for consistency with
std::{string,string_view}::{starts,ends}_with in C++20.
I'm planning to deprecate and eventually remove
StringRef::{starts,ends}with.
Without the fix gcc warned with
../lib/ObjCopy/ELF/ELFObjcopy.cpp: In function 'uint64_t getSectionFlagsPreserveMask(uint64_t, uint64_t, uint16_t)':

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently, objcopy cannot set the new flag SHF_X86_64_LARGE. This change introduces the named flag "large" which translates to that section flag.
An "invalid argument" error is produced if a user attempts to set the flag on an architecture other than X86_64.

llvm-objcopy should not insert padding before a section if its
physical addresses is not aligned to section's alignment. This
behavior will match GNU objcopy and is important for embedded images
where the physical address is used to store the initial data image.
The loader typically will copy this image using a start symbol
created by the linker. If llvm-objcopy inserts padding before such a
section, the symbol address will not match the location in the image.

which intended to align sections which type changed from NOBITS and
their offset may not be aligned. However, it affected all sections.

value() has undesired exception checking semantics and calls
__throw_bad_optional_access in libc++. Moreover, the API is unavailable without
_LIBCPP_NO_EXCEPTIONS on older Mach-O platforms (see
_LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_BAD_OPTIONAL_ACCESS).
This fixes check-llvm.
For an ELFCLASS32 object, a compressed section due to --compress-debug-sections={zlib,zstd} has a
tail padding of 12 zero bytes. zlib happily allows this while zstd is rigid and
reports `error: '{{.*}}': failed to decompress section '.debug_foo': Src size is incorrect`.
Cole Kissane reported the problem.

The request is mentioned on D129053. I feel that having this functionality is
mildly useful (not strong).
* Rename .ctors to .init_array and change sh_type to SHT_INIT_ARRAY (GNU objcopy

* GNU objcopy supports --set-section-flags src=... --rename-section src=tst and --set-section-flags runs first.
* GNU objcopy processes --update-section before --rename-section.
To match the two behaviors, postpone --rename-section and allow its use together
with --set-section-flags.
As a side effect, --rename-section=.foo1=.foo2 --add-section=.foo1=/dev/null
leads to .foo2 while GNU objcopy surprisingly produces .foo1 (so
--set-section-flags --add-section --rename-section do not form a total order).
I think the deviation is fine as a total order makes more sense.
Rename set-section-flags-and-rename.test to
set-section-attr-and-rename.test and additionally test --set-section-alignment

clang 14 removed -gz=zlib-gnu support and ld.lld removed linker input support
for zlib-gnu in D126793. Now let's remove zlib-gnu from llvm-objcopy.
* .zdebug* sections are no longer recognized as debug sections. --strip* don't remove them.
They are copied like other opaque sections
* --decompress-debug-sections does not uncompress .zdebug* sections
* --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu is not supported
It is very rare but in case a user has object files using .zdebug . They can use
llvm-objcopy<15 or GNU objcopy for uncompression.
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu is unlikely ever used by anyone, so I do not
add a custom diagnostic.

STB_GNU_UNIQUE is like STB_GLOBAL with extra semantics:
* gold and ld.lld: changed to STB_GLOBAL if --no-gnu-unique is specified
* glibc: unique even with dlopen `RTLD_LOCAL`, implies DF_1_NODELETE
Therefore, I think it makes sense for --weaken-symbol/--weaken-symbols/--weaken
to change STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbols.

Current objcopy implementation has a possibility to add or update sections.
The incoming section is specified as a pair: section name and name of the file
containing section data. The interface does not allow to specify incoming

libtool uses file names to name members of an static library.
Files, located in different directories and having matching name,
would have the same name inside an archive. This is not a problem
for ld, but may be a problem for ar. This patch renames files
from ObjCopy library to avoid names clashing.
