Teresa Johnson a63ab3c9ea [LTO] Prevent dead stripping and internalization of symbols with sections
Summary:
ELF linkers generate __start_<secname> and __stop_<secname> symbols
when there is a value in a section <secname> where the name is a valid
C identifier.  If dead stripping determines that the values declared
in section <secname> are dead, and we then internalize (and delete)
such a symbol, programs that reference the corresponding start and end
section symbols will get undefined reference linking errors.

To fix this, add the section name to the IRSymtab entry when a symbol is
defined in a specific section. Then use this in the gold-plugin to mark
the symbol as external and visible from outside the summary when the
section name is a valid C identifier.
