[ELF] Simplify SectionBase::partition handling and make it live by default. NFC
Previously an InputSectionBase is dead (`partition==0`) by default. SyntheticSection calls markLive and BssSection overrides that with markDead. It is more natural to make InputSectionBase live by default and let --gc-sections mark InputSectionBase dead. When linking a Release build of clang: * --no-gc-sections:, the removed `inputSections` loop decreases markLive time from 4ms to 1ms. * --gc-sections: the extra `inputSections` loop increases markLive time from 0.181296s to 0.188526s. This is as of we lose the removing one `inputSections` loop optimization (4374824c). I believe the loss can be mitigated if we refactor markLive.
