Adds a lld test for a case that the handling added for dynamically
exported symbols in 1487747e990ce9f8851f3d92c3006a74134d7518 already
fixes. Because isExportDynamic returns true when the symbol is
SharedKind with default visibility, it will treat as dynamically
exported and block devirtualization when the definition of a vtable
comes from a shared library. This is desireable as it is dangerous to
devirtualize in that case, since there could be hidden overrides in the
shared library. Typically that happens when the shared library header
contains available externally definitions, which applications can
override. An example is std::error_category, which is overridden in LLVM
and causing failures after a self build with WPD enabled, because
libstdc++ contains hidden overrides of the virtual base class methods.
The regular LTO case in the new test already worked, but there are
2 fixes in this patch needed for the index-only case and the hybrid
LTO case. For the index-only case, WPD should not simply ignore
available externally vtables. A follow on fix will be made to clang to
emit type metadata for those vtables, which the new test is modeling.
For the hybrid case, we need to ensure when the module is split that any
llvm.*used globals are cloned to the regular LTO split module so
available externally vtable definitions are not prematurely deleted.
Another follow on fix will add the equivalent gold test, which requires
a small fix to the plugin to treat symbols in dynamic libraries the same
way lld already is.

This change introduces support for zero flag ELF section groups to lld.
lld already supports COMDAT sections, which in ELF are a special type of
ELF section groups. These are generally useful to enable linker GC where
you want a group of sections to always travel together, that is to be
either retained or discarded as a whole, but without the COMDAT
semantics. Other ELF linkers already support zero flag ELF section
groups and this change helps us reach feature parity.

As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.
When parsing an object file, LLD interleaves undefined symbol resolution (which
may recursively fetch other lazy objects) with defined symbol resolution.
This may lead to surprising results, e.g. if an object file defines currently
undefined symbols and references another lazy symbol, we may interleave defined
symbols with the lazy fetch, potentially leading to the defined symbols
resolving to different files.
As an example, if both `a.a(a.o)` and `a.a(b.o)` define `foo` (not in COMDAT
group, or in different COMDAT groups) and `__profd_foo` (in COMDAT group
`__profd_foo`). LLD may resolve `foo` to `a.a(a.o)` and `__profd_foo` to
`b.a(b.o)`, i.e. different files.
```
parse ArchiveFile a.a
entry fetches a.a(a.o)
parse ObjectFile a.o
define entry
define foo
reference b
b fetches a.a(b.o)
parse ObjectFile b.o
define prevailing __profd_foo
define (ignored) non-prevailing __profd_foo
```
Assuming a set of interconnected symbols are defined all or none in several lazy
objects. Arguably making them resolve to the same file is preferable than making
them resolve to different files (some are lazy objects).
The main argument favoring the new behavior is the stability. The relative order
between a defined symbol and an undefined symbol does not change the symbol
resolution behavior. Only the relative order between two undefined symbols can
affect fetching behaviors.
---
The real world case is reduced from a Fuchsia PGO usage: `a.a(a.o)` has a
constructor within COMDAT group C5 while `a.a(b.o)` has a constructor within
COMDAT group C2. Because they use different group signatures, they are not
de-duplicated. It is not entirely whether Clang behavior is entirely conforming.
LLD selects the PGO counter section (`__profd_*`) from `a.a(b.o)` and the
constructor section from `a.a(a.o)`. The `__profd_*` is a SHF_LINK_ORDER section
linking to its own non-prevailing constructor section, so LLD errors
`sh_link points to discarded section`. This patch fixes the error.

GNU as does not sort local symbols. This has several advantages:
* The .symtab order is roughly the symbol occurrence order.
* The closest preceding STT_SECTION symbol is the definition of a local symbol.
* The closest preceding STT_FILE symbol is the defining file of a local symbol, if there are multiple default-version .file directives. (Not implemented in MC.)
A SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table is similar to a .gcc_except_table in
a section group. The associated text section is responsible for retaining it.
LLD still does not support GC of non-group non-SHF_LINK_ORDER .gcc_except_table -
but that is not necessary because we can teach the compiler to set SHF_LINK_ORDER.
The current diagnostic has confused users. The new wording is adapted from one suggested by Ian Lance Taylor.

binutils 2.36 introduced the new section flag SHF_GNU_RETAIN (for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD) to mark a sections as a GC root. Several LLVM side toolchain
folks (including me) were involved in the design process of SHF_GNU_RETAIN and
were happy with this proposal.
Currently GNU ld only respects SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics for ELFOSABI_GNU &
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD object files
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27282). GNU ld sets EI_OSABI
to ELFOSABI_GNU for relocatable output
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27091). In practice the single
value EI_OSABI is neither a good indicator for object file compatibility, nor a
useful mechanism marking used ELF extensions.
For input, we respect SHF_GNU_RETAIN semantics even for ELFOSABI_NONE object
files. This is compatible with how LLD and GNU ld handle (mildly useful) STT_GNU_IFUNC
/ (emitted by GCC, considered misfeature by some folks) STB_GNU_UNIQUE input.
(As of LLVM 12.0.0, the integrated assembler does not set ELFOSABI_GNU for
STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE).
Arguably STT_GNU_IFUNC/STB_GNU_UNIQUE probably need indicators in object files
but SHF_GNU_RETAIN is more likely accepted by more OSABI platforms.
For output, we take a step further than GNU ld: we don't promote ELFOSABI_NONE
to ELFOSABI_GNU for all output.

If the object file defining foo has foo references, we cannot easily distinguish

b) The current basic block naming just adds a ".N" to the symbol name where N is
some integer. This collides with how clang creates __cxx_global_var_init.N.
clang creates these symbol names to call constructor functions and basic
block symbol naming should not use the same style.
