[ELF] Support --{,no-}allow-shlib-undefined
Summary:
In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when
linking an executable. This patch implements a check to error on
undefined symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries
are seen.
Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance
to be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates
the behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases).
The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from
undefined reference errors issued for relocations. It is most
effective when there are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g.
when static sanitizers runtime is used).
gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have
spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be
excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The
story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the
default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the
future.

Pull in r352943 from upstream lld trunk (by Fangrui Song):
[ELF] Default to --no-allow-shlib-undefined for executables
Summary:
This follows the ld.bfd/gold behavior.
The error check is useful as it captures a common type of ld.so
undefined symbol errors as link-time errors:
// a.cc => a.so (not linked with -z defs)
void f(); // f is undefined
void g() { f(); }
// b.cc => executable with a DT_NEEDED entry on a.so
void g();
int main() { g(); }
// ld.so errors when g() is executed (lazy binding) or when the program is started (-z now)
// symbol lookup error: ... undefined symbol: f

Together, these add support for --no-allow-shlib-undefined, and make it
the default for executables, so they will fail to link if any symbols
from needed shared libraries are undefined.
