[lld] Synthesize metadata for MTE globals
As per the ABI at https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/memtagabielf64/memtagabielf64.rst, this patch interprets the SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC section, which contains R_NONE relocations to tagged globals, and emits a SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_DYNAMIC section, with the correct DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS and DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALSSZ dynamic entries. This section describes, in a uleb-encoded stream, global memory ranges that should be tagged with MTE. We are also out of bits to spare in the LLD Symbol class. As a result, I've reused the 'needsTocRestore' bit, which is a PPC64 only feature. Now, it's also used for 'isTagged' on AArch64. An entry in SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC is practically a guarantee from an objfile that all references to the linked symbol are through the GOT, and meet correct alignment requirements. As a result, we go through all symbols and make sure that, for all symbols $SYM, all object files that reference $SYM also have a SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC entry for $SYM. If this isn't the case, we demote the symbol to being untagged. Symbols that are imported from other DSOs should always be fine, as they're GOT-referenced (and thus the GOT entry either has the correct tag or not, depending on whether it's tagged in the defining DSO or not). Additionally hand-tested by building {libc, libm, libc++, libm, and libnetd} on Android with some experimental MTE globals support in the linker/libc.
