Placing a non-SHT_NOBITS input section in an output section specified with (NOLOAD) is fishy but used by some projects. D118840 changed the output type to SHT_PROGBITS, but using the specified type seems to make more sense and improve GNU ld compatibility: `(NOLOAD)` seems to change the output section type regardless of input. I think we should keep the current type mismatch warning as it does indicate an error-prone usage. Reviewed By: peter.smith Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D125074
