Replace the options --warn-orphan and --no-warn-orphan with a single
option --orphan-handling=MODE, where mode can be place, warn, error, and
discard.
Mode 'place' is the default, and is the current behaviour, placing the
orphan section into a suitable output section.
Mode 'warn' is the same as '--warn-orphan'. The orphan is also placed
using the same algorithm as for 'place'.
Mode 'error' is the same as '--warn-orphan' and '--fatal-warnings'.
Mode 'discard' assigns all output sections to the /DISCARD/ section.

Add a new command line option '--require-defined' to the linker. This
option operates identically to the '--undefined' option, except that if
the symbol is not defined in the final output file then the linker will
exit with an error.
When making use of --gc-section, or just when trying to pull in parts of
a library, it is not uncommon for a user to use the '--undefined'
command line option to specify a symbol that the user then expects to be
defined by one of the object files supplied to the link.
However, if for any reason the symbol is not satisfied by an object
provided to the link the user will be left with an undefined symbol in
the output file, instead of a defined symbol.
In some cases the above behaviour is what the user wants, in other cases
though we can do better. The '--require-defined' option tries to fill
this gap. The symbol passed to the '--require-defined' option is
treated exactly as if the symbol was passed to '--undefined', however,
before the linker exits a check is made that all symbols passed to
'--require-defined' are actually defined, if any are not then the link
will fail with an error.

Address of protected data defined in the shared library may be external,
i.e., due to copy relocation. By default, linker backend checks if
relocations against protected data symbols are valid for building shared
library and issues an error if relocation isn't allowed. The new option
override linker backend default. When -z noextern-protected-data is used,
updates on protected data symbols by another module won't be visibile
to the resulting shared library. This option is specific to ELF/i386
and ELF/x86-64.

An assignment to dot in an output section that allocates space of
course keeps the output section. Here, I'm changing the behaviour for
assignments that don't allocate space. The idea is not so much to
allow people to force output of an empty section with ". = .", but
to fix cases where an otherwise empty section has padding added by an
alignment expression that changes with relaxation or .eh_frame

be stripped incorrectly.
