Patch by Robert O'Callahan.
Rust projects tend to link in all object files from all dependent
libraries and rely on --gc-sections to strip unused code and data.
Unfortunately --gc-sections doesn't currently strip any debuginfo
associated with GC'ed sections, so lld links in the full debuginfo from
all dependencies even if almost all that code has been discarded. See
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/56068 for some details.
Properly stripping debuginfo for discarded sections would be difficult,
but a simple approach that helps significantly is to mark debuginfo
sections as live only if their associated object file has at least one
live code/data section. This patch does that. In a (contrived but not
totally artificial) Rust testcase linked above, it reduces the final
binary size from 46MB to 5.1MB.

Summary:
Based on Peter Collingbourne's suggestion in D56828.
Before D56828: PT_LOAD(.data PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .bss)
Old: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .data .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro)) PT_LOAD(.data. .bss)
The new layout reflects the runtime memory mappings.
By having two PT_LOAD segments, we can utilize the NOBITS part of the
first PT_LOAD and save bytes for .bss.rel.ro.
.bss.rel.ro is currently small and only used by copy relocations of
symbols in read-only segments, but it can be used for other purposes in
the future, e.g. if a relro section's statically relocated data is all
zeros, we can move it to .bss.rel.ro.

Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

Summary:
The following patch adds the "None" line to the section to segment mapping dump.
That line lists the sections that do not belong to any segment.
I realize that this change differs from GNU readelf which does not display the latter information.
I'd rather not add this "feature" under a command line option. I think that might introduce confusion, since users would have to
make an additional decision as to if they want to see all of the section-to-segment map or just a subset of it.
Another option is to only print the "None" line if the `--section-mapping` option is passed; however,
that might also introduce some confusion, because the section-to-segment map would be different between`--program-headers`
and the `--section-mapping` output. While the difference is just the "None" line, it seems that if we choose to display
the segment-to-section mapping, then we should always display the whole map including the sections
that do not belong to segments.
```

This patch adds a support for OUTPUT_FORMAT linker script directive.
Since I'm not 100% confident with BFD names you can use in the directive
for all architectures, I added only a few in this patch. We can add
other names for other archtiectures later.
We still do not support triple-style OUTPUT_FORMAT directive, namely,
OUTPUT_FORMAT(bfdname, big, little). If you pass -EL (little endian)
or -EB (big endian) to the linker, GNU linkers pick up big or little
as a BFD name, correspondingly, so that you can use a single linker
script for bi-endian processor. I'm not sure if we really need to
support that, so I'll leave it alone for now.
Note that -m takes precedence over OUTPUT_FORAMT, but we always parse
a BFD name given to OUTPUT_FORMAT for error checking. You cannot write
an invalid name in the OUTPUT_FORMAT directive.

GNU ld's manual says that TARGET(foo) is basically an alias for
`--format foo` where foo is a BFD target name such as elf64-x86-64.
Unlike GNU linkers, lld doesn't allow arbitrary BFD target name for
--format. We accept only "default", "elf" or "binary". This makes
situation a bit tricky because we can't simply make TARGET an alias for
--target.
A quick code search revealed that the usage number of TARGET is very
small, and the only meaningful usage is to switch to the binary mode.
Thus, in this patch, we handle only TARGET(elf.*) and TARGET(binary).

LLD removes empty output sections otherwise specified in the linker
script. Prior to this change however, if section descriptions included
ANY kind of symbol assignment, then the consequent output section would
not be removed, even if the assignment was marked with PROVIDE and not
actually triggered (i.e. the symbol was never referenced). This change
modifies the isDiscarable function to ignore such directives when
determining whether a section should be discarded, in keeping with
bfd's behaviour. Symbol assignments that do result in a symbol
definition will continue to result in a kept section (this is not
actually the same as bfd's behaviour, but it is simpler, and probably
makes more sense).

Linker script OVERLAYs are described in 4.6.9. Overlay Description of the spec:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/Using_ld_the_GNU_Linker/sections.html
They are used to allow output sections which have different LMAs but the same VAs

Currently, LLD restricts overlapping of sections and that seems to be the most desired
behaviour for defaults. My thoughts about possible approaches for PR36768 are on the bug page,
this patch implements OVERLAY keyword and allows VAs overlapping for sections that within the overlay.
