bfd: linker: merge .sframe sections
The linker merges all the input .sframe sections. When merging, the linker verifies that all the input .sframe sections have the same abi/arch. The linker uses libsframe library to perform key actions on the .sframe sections - decode, read, and create output data. This implies buildsystem changes to make and install libsframe before libbfd. The linker places the output .sframe section in a new segment of its own: PT_GNU_SFRAME. A new segment is not added, however, if the generated .sframe section is empty. When a section is discarded from the final link, the corresponding entries in the .sframe section for those functions are also deleted. The linker sorts the SFrame FDEs on start address by default and sets the SFRAME_F_FDE_SORTED flag in the .sframe section. This patch also adds support for generation of SFrame unwind information for the .plt* sections on x86_64. SFrame unwind info is generated for IBT enabled PLT, lazy/non-lazy PLT. The existing linker option --no-ld-generated-unwind-info has been adapted to include the control of whether .sframe unwind information will be generated for the linker generated sections like PLT. Changes to the linker script have been made as necessary.
