Avoid scan of symbols on objects in coff archives since we don't need
to do anything special with common symbols. The scan is quite useless,
and breaks LTO due to slim LTO objects not having symbols available
until after the plugin has claimed them. Instead we can add objects
based on their archive symbol map.
Also, rip out the archive symbol hash table used by the generic
linker. Using a hash breaks one feature of unix archive linking;
The first object file in an archive defining any given symbol should
be the object extracted to satisfy that symbol. What's more a hash
isn't much faster except in pathological cases where object file
ordering causes many scans of the archive. See the comment which I'm
removing from elf_link_add_archive_symbols.
Finally, tidy elflink.c archive handling a little.

This fixes a problem seen on powerpc64le ELFv2 when creating a
function symbol alias with ld --defsym. st_other needs to be copied
from the source symbol to the alias in order to set up the local entry
offset for the alias. I decided to make this change in the generic
ELF code rather than in elf64-ppc.c since it looks like other targets
that use st_other bits might benefit too.

This patch provides a means for backend relax_section support to
increase the size of a section without needing to reallocate
section contents. This helps reduce memory usage when the added space
does not need to be written in relax_section, as is the case for
powerpc. Writing the stubs later means a few tweaks are needed in the
powerpc relocate_section function, but also removes some code
duplication since the extra ld -r relocs can be written there too.

After resolving a versioned reference, foo@VER1, to a default versioned
definition, foo@@VER1, from a shared object, we also merge it with
the existing regular default symbol definition, foo. When foo is IFUNC
and foo@@VER1 aren't, we will merge 2 incompatible definitions. This
patch avoids merging foo@@VER1 definition with foo definition if
one is IFUNC and the other isn't.
There is nothing linker can do when a type mismatched default definition
are made dynamic by info->shared, info->export_dynamic or h->ref_dynamic.
But we do want to avoid exporting it when building PIE. Let's remove
those checks.

There's no real need to emit these always: They're needed only if we
indeed want to emit a localized symbol. Hence defer emission until we
at least did the basic early checks that would lead to no such symbol
getting emitted. This in particular avoids emitting such a symbol in
the majority of (if not all) "ld -r" cases.
I hope my set of cross build tests caught all the test cases needing
adjustment - please forgive if I missed a few.
