This patch only implements support for version scripts of the form:
  { [ global: symbol1; symbol2; [...]; symbolN; ] local: *; };
No wildcards are supported, other than for the local entry. Symbol versioning
is also not supported.

It works by introducing a new Symbol flag which tracks whether a symbol
appears in the global section of a version script.

This patch also simplifies the logic in SymbolBody::isPreemptible(), and
teaches it to handle the case where symbols with default visibility in DSOs
do not appear in the dynamic symbol table because of a version script.

Fixes PR27482.

This patch implements the --dynamic-list option, which adds a list of
global symbol that either should not be bounded by default definition
when creating shared libraries, or add in dynamic symbol table in the
case of creating executables.

The patch modifies the ScriptParserBase class to use a list of Token
instead of StringRef, which contains information if the token is a
quoted or unquoted strings. It is used to use a faster search for
exact match symbol name.

The input file follow a similar format of linker script with some
simplifications (it does not have scope or node names). It leads
to a simplified parser define in DynamicList.{cpp,h}.

Different from ld/gold neither glob pattern nor mangled names
(extern 'C++') are currently supported.

Section garbage collection is a feature to remove unused sections
from outputs. Unused sections are sections that cannot be reachable
from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.

In this patch, I added Live bit to InputSectionBase. If and only
if Live bit is on, the section will be written to the output.
Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.

This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.

It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
That is 4.3% reduction.

SymbolTable was not a template class. Instead we had switch-case-based
type dispatch to call desired functions. We had to do that because
SymbolTable was created before we know what ELF type objects had been
passed.

Every time I tried to add a new function to the symbol table, I had to
define a dispatcher which consist of a single switch statement.

It also brought an restriction what the driver can do. For example,
we cannot add undefined symbols before any files are added to the symbol
table. That's because no symbols can be added until the symbol table
knows the ELF type, but when it knows about that, it's too late.

In this patch, the driver makes a decision on what ELF type objects
are being handled. Then the driver creates a SymbolTable object for
an appropriate ELF type.

Various parameters are passed implicitly using Config global variable
already. Output file path is no different from others, so there was no
special reason to handle that differnetly.

This patch changes the signature of writeResult(SymbolTable *, StringRef)
to writeResult(SymbolTable *).

We are using Writer more like a function instead of a class.
This patch makes it a function to simplify the interface.
All details of Writer class is now hidden from other parts of the linker.

The others we have in sight are
* common symbols.
* entries in SHF_MERGE sections.

They will have a substantially different treatment. It is not clear if it is
worth it putting them all in a single list just to dispatch based on the kind on
the other side.

I hope to implement common symbols soon, and then we will be in a position
to have a concrete discussion. For now this is simpler for the the implemented
features.

It was already using just code that is common to all object files.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.

It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.
