llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is
referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is
different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are
doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new
switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do
precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead
of an error being emitted.
I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they
emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly
loaded.

Summary:
This change takes the full list of bfd targets that lld supports (see `ScriptParser.cpp`), including generic handling for `*-freebsd` targets (which uses the same settings but with a FreeBSD OSABI). In particular this adds mips support for `--output-target` (but not yet via `--binary-architecture`).
lld and llvm-objcopy use their own different custom data structures, so I'd prefer to check this in as-is (add support directly in llvm-objcopy, including all the test coverage) and do a separate NFC patch(s) that consolidate the two by putting this mapping into libobject.

Currently, YAML has the following syntax for describing the symbols:
Symbols:
Local:
LocalSymbol1:
...
LocalSymbol2:
...
...
Global:
GlobalSymbol1:
...
Weak:
...
GNUUnique:
I.e. symbols are grouped by their bindings. That is not very convenient,
because:
It does not allow to set a custom binding, what can be useful for producing
broken/special outputs for test cases. Adding a new binding would require to
change a syntax (what we observed when added GNUUnique recently).
It does not allow to change the order of the symbols in .symtab/.dynsym,
i.e. currently all Local symbols are placed first, then Global, Weak and GNUUnique
are following, but we are not able to change the order.
It is not consistent. Binding is just one of the properties of the symbol,
we do not group them by other properties.
It makes the code more complex that it can be. This patch shows it can be simplified
with the change performed.
The patch changes the syntax to just:
Symbols:
Symbol1:
...
Symbol2:
...
...
With that, we are able to work with the binding field just like with any other symbol property.

Summary:
Some flags accepted by --set-section-flags and --rename-section can change a SHT_NOBITS section to a SHT_PROGBITS section. Note that none of them can change a SHT_PROGBITS to SHT_NOBITS.
The full list (found via experimentation of individually setting each flag) that does this is: contents, load, noload, code, data, rom, and debug.
This was found by testing llvm-objcopy with the gnu binutils test suite, specifically this test case: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/copy-1.d;h=f2b0d9e90df738c2891b4d5c7b62f62894b556ca;hb=HEAD

This patch fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41293 and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41045. llvm-objcopy assumed that
it could always read a section header string table. This isn't the case
when the sections were previously all stripped, and the e_shstrndx field
was set to 0. This patch fixes this. It also fixes a double space in an
error message relating to this issue, and prevents llvm-objcopy from
adding extra space for non-existent section headers, meaning that
--strip-sections on the output of a previous --strip-sections run
produces identical output, simplifying the test.

llvm-objcopy previously knew nothing about data in segments that wasn't
covered by section headers, meaning that it wrote zeroes instead of what
was there. As it is possible for this data to be useful to the loader,
this patch causes llvm-objcopy to start preserving this data. Data in
sections that are explicitly removed continues to be written as zeroes.

This patch fixes the reason of ubsan failure (UB detected)
happened after landing the D59638 (I had to revert it).
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/sanitizer-x86_64-linux-bootstrap-ubsan/builds/11760/steps/check-llvm%20ubsan/logs/stdio)
Problem is the following. Our implementation of GroupSection assumes that
its address is 4 bytes aligned when writes it:
template <class ELFT>
void ELFSectionWriter<ELFT>::visit(const GroupSection &Sec) {
ELF::Elf32_Word *Buf =
reinterpret_cast<ELF::Elf32_Word *>(Out.getBufferStart() + Sec.Offset);
...
But the test case for D59638 did not set AddressAlign in YAML. So address was
not 4 bytes aligned since Sec.Offset was odd. That triggered the issue.
This patch teaches llvm-objcopy to report an error for such sections (which should
not met in reality), what is better than having UB.

Spec says about the first symbol table entry that index 0 both designates the first entry in the table
and serves as the undefined symbol index. It should have zero value.
Hence the first symbol table entry has no name. And so has to have a st_name == 0.
(http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/elf/gabi4+/ch4.symtab.html)
Currently, we do not emit zero value for the first symbol table entry.
That happens because we add empty strings to the string builder, which
for each such case adds a zero byte:
(https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/lib/MC/StringTableBuilder.cpp#L185)
After the string optimization performed it might return non zero indexes for the
empty string requested.
The patch fixes this issue for the case above and other sections with no names.

This patch changes llvm-objcopy's behaviour to not strip sections that
are in segments, if they otherwise would be due to a stripping operation
(--strip-all, --strip-sections, --strip-non-alloc). This preserves the
segment contents. It does not change the behaviour of --strip-all-gnu
(although we could choose to do so), because GNU objcopy's behaviour in
this case seems to be to strip the section, nor does it prevent removing
of sections in segments with --remove-section (if a user REALLY wants to
remove a section, we should probably let them, although I could be
persuaded that warning might be appropriate). Tests have been added to
show this latter behaviour.

Summary:
Include the symbol being defined in the list of requirements for using --localize-symbol.
This is used, for example, when someone is depending on two different projects that have the same (or close enough) method defined in each library, and using "-L sym" for a conflicting symbol in one of the libraries so that the definition from the other one is used. However, the library may have internal references to the symbol, which cause program crashes when those are used, i.e.:
```
$ cat foo.c
int foo() { return 5; }
$ cat bar.c
int foo();
int bar() { return 2 * foo(); }
$ cat foo2.c
int foo() { /* Safer implementation */ return 42; }
$ cat main.c
int bar();
int main() {
__builtin_printf("bar = %d\n", bar());
return 0;
}
$ ar rcs libfoo.a foo.o bar.o
$ ar rcs libfoo2.a foo2.o
# Picks the wrong foo() impl
$ clang main.o -lfoo -lfoo2 -L. -o main
# Picks the right foo() impl
$ objcopy -L foo libfoo.a && clang main.o -lfoo -lfoo2 -L. -o main
# Links somehow, but crashes at runtime
