Rui Ueyama 32c3f17d36 Re-submit r195852 with GroupedSectionsPass change.
GroupedSectionsPass was a complicated pass. That pass's job was to reorder
atoms by section name, so that the atoms with the same section prefix will be
emitted consecutively to the executable. The pass added layout edges to atoms,
and let the layout pass to actually reorder them.

This patch simplifies the design by making GroupedSectionPass to directly
reorder atoms, rather than adding layout edges. This resembles ELF's
ArrayOrderPass.

This patch improves the performance of LLD; it used to take 7.1 seconds to
link LLD with LLD on my Macbook Pro, but it now takes 6.1 seconds.
