[ELF] Define __start_XXX/__stop_XXX symbols where XXX is a section name
This is GNU ELF linker extension used particularly by LibC code. If input object files contain section named XXX, and the XXX is a valid C identifier, and there are undefined or weak symbols __start_XXX/__stop_XXX, linker should define __start_XXX/__stop_XXX symbols point to the begin/end of the XXX section correspondingly. For example, without support of this extension statically linked executables for X86_64 and Mips (maybe other) targets do not flush IO buffers at the end of executing. llvm-svn: 241341
