George Rimar 57286644f7 [ELF] - Optimize .eh_frame section: remove CIE if all FDEs referencing it were removed.

This patch performs little optimization for eh_frame section.
If all FDE`s that referenced CIE are removed then CIE is also removed from output. 
That can happen for example when dropping FDEs that point to dropped sections. Testcase showing that is included.
The same optimization was added to ld about 14 years ago: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2001-12/msg00144.html, gold does not do that it seems.

README.md

The New ELF Linker

This directory contains a port of the new PE/COFF linker for ELF.

Overall Design

See COFF/README.md for details on the design. Note that unlike COFF, we do not distinguish chunks from input sections; they are merged together.

Capabilities

This linker can link LLVM and Clang on Linux/x86-64 or FreeBSD/x86-64 "Hello world" can be linked on Linux/PPC64 and on Linux/AArch64 or FreeBSD/AArch64.

Performance

Achieving good performance is one of our goals. It's too early to reach a conclusion, but we are optimistic about that as it currently seems to be faster than GNU gold. It will be interesting to compare when we are close to feature parity.
