SHT_REL
... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld
which can handle REL.
Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.

Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

This fixes PR49821, and avoids "ld.lld: error: test.o:(.rodata.str1.1):
offset is outside the section" errors when linking MIPS objects with
negative R_MIPS_LO16 implicit addends.
ld.lld handles R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_LO16 separately, not as a whole, so it
doesn't know that an R_MIPS_HI16 with implicit addend 1 and an
R_MIPS_LO16 with implicit addend -32768 represents 32768, which is in
range of a MergeInputSection. We could introduce a new RelExpr member
(like R_RISCV_PC_INDIRECT for R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 / R_RISCV_PCREL_LO12)
but the complexity is unnecessary given that GNU as keeps the original
symbol for this case as well.
Adds a new test case for PR49821, and also updates two other test cases
that are affected by this change.

As a resolution to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25295 , GNU as
from binutils 2.35 supports the optional third argument for the .symver directive.
'remove' for a non-default version is useful:
`.symver def_v1, def@v1, remove` => def_v1 is not retained in the symbol table.
Previously the user has to strip the original symbol or specify a `local:`
version node in a version script to localize the symbol.
`.symver def, def@@v1, remove` and `.symver def, def@@@v1, remove` are supported
as well, though they are identical to `.symver def, def@@@v1`.
local/hidden are not useful so this patch does not implement them.

This change introduces support for zero flag ELF section groups to LLVM.
LLVM already supports COMDAT sections, which in ELF are a special type
of ELF section groups. These are generally useful to enable linker GC
where you want a group of sections to always travel together, that is to
be either retained or discarded as a whole, but without the COMDAT
semantics. Other ELF assemblers already support zero flag ELF section
groups and this change helps us reach feature parity.

As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.

GNU as does not sort local symbols. This has several advantages:
* The .symtab order is roughly the symbol occurrence order.
* The closest preceding STT_SECTION symbol is the definition of a local symbol.
* The closest preceding STT_FILE symbol is the defining file of a local symbol, if there are multiple default-version .file directives. (Not implemented in MC.)

This relands D64327 with a more specific workaround for R_386_GOTOFF

"linked-to section" is used by the ELF spec. By analogy, "linked-to
symbol" is a good name for the signature symbol. The word "linked-to"
implies a directed edge and makes it clear its relation with "sh_link",
while one can argue that "associated" means an undirected edge.
Also, combine tests and add precise SMLoc to improve diagnostics.

non-local
For a target symbol defined in the same section, currently we don't emit
a relocation if VariantKind is VK_None (with few exceptions like RISC-V
relaxation), while GNU as emits one. This causes program behavior
differences with and without -ffunction-sections, and can break intended
symbol interposition in a -shared link.
```
.globl foo
foo:
call foo # no relocation. On other targets, may be written as b foo, etc
call bar # a relocation if bar is in another section (e.g. -ffunction-sections)
call foo@plt # a relocation
```
Unify these cases by always emitting a relocation. If we ever want to
optimize `call foo` in -shared links, we should emit a STB_LOCAL alias
and call via the alias.
ARM/thumb2-beq-fixup.s: we now emit a relocation to global_thumb_fn as GNU as does.
X86/Inputs/align-branch-64-2.s: we now emit R_X86_64_PLT32 to foo as GNU does.
ELF/relax.s: rewrite the test as target-in-same-section.s .
We omitted relocations to `global` and now emit R_X86_64_PLT32.
Note, GNU as does not emit a relocation for `jmp global` (maybe its own
bug). Our new behavior is compatible except `jmp global`.

Recommit r373168, which was reverted by r373242. This actually exposed a
boringssl bug which has been fixed for more than one month.
For the following two cases, we currently suppress the symbols. This
patch emits them (compatible with GNU as).
* `test2_a = undef`: if `undef` is otherwise unused.
* `.hidden hidden`: if `hidden` is unused. This is the main point of the
patch, because omitting the symbol would cause a linker semantic
difference.
It causes a behavior change that is not compatible with GNU as:
.weakref foo1, bar1
When neither foo1 nor bar1 is used, we now emit bar1, which is arguably
more consistent.
Another change is that we will emit .TOC. for .TOC.@tocbase . For this
directive, suppressing .TOC. can be seen as a size optimization, but we
choose to drop it for simplicity and consistency.

GNU as keeps the original symbol in the symbol table for defined @ and
@@, but suppresses it in other cases (@@@ or undefined). The original
symbol is usually undesired:
In a shared object, the original symbol can be localized with a version
script, but it is hard to remove/localize in an archive:
1) a post-processing step removes the undesired original symbol
2) consumers (executable) of the archive are built with the
version script
Moreover, it can cause linker issues like binutils PR/18703 if the
original symbol name and the base name of the versioned symbol is the
same (both ld.bfd and gold have some code to work around defined @ and
@@). In lld, if it sees f and f@v1:
--version-script =(printf 'v1 {};') => f and f@v1
--version-script =(printf 'v1 { f; };') => f@v1 and f@@v1
It can be argued that @@@ added on 2000-11-13 corrected the @ and @@ mistake.
This patch catches some more multiple version errors (defined @ and @@),
and consistently suppress the original symbol. This addresses all the
problems listed above.
If the user wants other aliases to the versioned symbol, they can copy
the original symbol to other symbol names with .set directive, e.g.
.symver f, f@v1 # emit f@v1 but not f into .symtab
.set f_impl, f # emit f_impl into .symtab

Summary:
The directive defines a symbol as an group/local memory (LDS) symbol.
LDS symbols behave similar to common symbols for the purposes of ELF,
using the processor-specific SHN_AMDGPU_LDS as section index.
It is the linker and/or runtime loader's job to "instantiate" LDS symbols
and resolve relocations that reference them.
It is not possible to initialize LDS memory (not even zero-initialize
as for .bss).
We want to be able to link together objects -- starting with relocatable
objects, but possible expanding to shared objects in the future -- that
access LDS memory in a flexible way.
LDS memory is in an address space that is entirely separate from the
address space that contains the program image (code and normal data),
so having program segments for it doesn't really make sense.
Furthermore, we want to be able to compile multiple kernels in a
compilation unit which have disjoint use of LDS memory. In that case,
we may want to place LDS symbols differently for different kernels
to save memory (LDS memory is very limited and physically private to
each kernel invocation), so we can't simply place LDS symbols in a
.lds section.
Hence this solution where LDS symbols always stay undefined.

We should keep the symbol type (STT_GNU_IFUNC) for a local ifunc because
it may result in an IRELATIVE reloc that the dynamic loader will use to
resolve the address at startup time.
There is another problem that is not fixed by this patch: a PC relative
relocation should also create a relocation with the ifunc symbol.

On PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI, the top 3 bits of st_other encode the local

About the compressed sections spec says:
(https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E36783/section_compression.html)
sh_addralign fields of the section header for a compressed section
reflect the requirements of the compressed section.
Currently, llvm-mc always puts uncompressed section alignment to sh_addralign.
It is not correct. zlib styled section contains an Elfxx_Chdr header,
so we should either use 4 or 8 values depending on the target
(Uncompressed section alignment is stored in ch_addralign field of the compression header).
