LTO: Pass SF_Executable flag through to InputFile::Symbol

Summary:
The linker needs to be able to determine whether a symbol is text or data to
handle the case of a common being overridden by a strong definition in an
archive. If the archive contains a text member of the same name as the common,
that function is discarded. However, if the archive contains a data member of
the same name, that strong definition overrides the common. This is a behavior
of ld.bfd, which the Qualcomm linker also supports in LTO.

Here's a test case to illustrate:

####

cat > 1.c << \!
int blah;
!

cat > 2.c << \!
int blah() {
  return 0;
}
!

cat > 3.c << \!
int blah = 20;
!

clang -c 1.c
clang -c 2.c
clang -c 3.c

ar cr lib.a 2.o 3.o
ld 1.o lib.a -t

####

The correct output is:

1.o
(lib.a)3.o

Thanks to Shankar Easwaran and Hemant Kulkarni for the test case!
