Do not merge sections if generating a relocatable object. It makes
the code simpler because we do not need to update relocations addends
to reflect changes introduced by merging. Instead of that we write
such "merge" sections into separate OutputSections and keep SHF_MERGE
/ SHF_STRINGS flags and sh_entsize value to be able to perform merging
later during a final linking.

Testcase contains a common symbol with zero alignment,

This was intended to warn on a usage error of an ar command.
I was thinking that false positive would be rare because it
has two guards: it warns only when an archive file has no symbols
and contains at least one file.
Turned out that false positive would probably be not that rare.
You wouldn't intentionally create an object file that contains no
exported symbols, but with conditional compile guards, you could
create such file. If it is for a LTO build, you could create an
archive file containing such file. That means there's no way to
detect the usage error in a reliable manner.
This patch simply removes the warning.

Previously, it warned on any archive file that has no symbol.
It turned out that that is too noisy.
With this patch, it warns on such archive file that contains no file.

This surfaced again with Rust. As per bug 30435, rustc creates a
mergeable section with a sh_entsize zero. It bit us before, too.
I think we should relax the input check rather than being too picky.

Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.
Files were created at various places, such as the Driver, the lazy
symbols, or the bitcode compiler, and the ownership of new files
was transferred to the symbol table using std::unique_ptr.
All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a
vector and freed on exit. In this way, we no longer have to
use std::unique_ptr.

This simplifies error handling as there is now only one place in the
code that needs to consider the possibility that the name is
corrupted. Before we would do it in every access.

This approach is not only consistent with UnresolvedPolicy,
but also should help to solve a problem

After latest changes we combine input sections with
different attributes into single output section.
Problem here is that regular output sections does not
support adding mergeable input sections (and vise versa).
Patch just temporarily disables merging for now at
the same way we do for -O0 for example.
This change helps for linking FreeBSD kernel.

We found that GNU assembler 2.17.50 [FreeBSD] 2007-07-03

Mergeable sections with size zero are useless because they don't
actually contain data, and therefore there's no merit ot merge them.
However, in reality, there are object files in the wild containing
such sections. Currently, LLD can't handle them proerply.
This patch makes LLD to handle such sections as if they are non-
mergeable to fix the issue.
Fixes bug 28822.

--trace-symbol is a command line option to watch a symbol.
Previosly, we looked up a hash table for a new symbol if the
option is given. Any code that looks up a hash table for each
symbol is expensive because the linker handles a lot of symbols.
In our design, we look up a hash table strictly only once
for a symbol, so --trace-symbol was an exception.
This patch improves efficiency of the option by merging the
hash table into the symbol table.
Instead of looking up a separate hash table with a string,
this patch sets `Traced` flag to symbols specified by --trace-symbol.
So, if you insert a symbol and get a symbol with `Traced` flag on,
you know that you need to print out a log message for the symbol.
This is nearly zero cost.

Previously, each subclass of SymbolBody had a pointer to a source
file from which it was created. So, there was no single way to get
a source file for a symbol. We had getSourceFile<ELFT>(), but the
function was a bit inconvenient as it's a template.
This patch makes SymbolBody have a pointer to a source file.
If a symbol is not created from a file, the pointer has a nullptr.

Symbol's dtors are not called because they are allocated using
BumpPtrAllocators. So, members of std::unique_ptr type are not
freed when symbols are deallocated.
This patch is to allocate Thunks using BumpPtrAllocators.

Previously, we initialized Config->EKind and Config->EMachine when
we instantiate ELF objects. That was not an ideal location to do that
because the logic was buried too deep inside a concrete logic.
This patch moves the code to the driver so that the initialization
becomes explicit.
