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.

* ld-elf/elf.exp: Run the new test.
* ldlex.l (INPUTLIST): New start condition.
(comment pattern, ",", "(", ")", "AS_NEEDED")
({FILENAMECHAR1}{FILENAMECHAR}*, "-l"{FILENAMECHAR}+)
(quoted string pattern, whitespace pattern): Add INPUTLIST to
valid start conditions.
(<INPUTLIST>"="{FILENAMECHAR1}{FILENAMECHAR}*): New NAME rule.
(ldlex_inputlist): New start-condition-setter function.
* ldgram.y (input_list1): Rename from input_list. All recursive
use changed.
(input_list): New wrapper rule for input_list1, setting
INPUTLIST lexer state for the duration of parsing input_list1.
All this to say INPUT(=/path/to/file) and not be forced to use
INPUT("=/path/to/file") whenever there's a need to force a sysroot-
prefix. Still, IMHO it seems better to make use of a previously
invalid syntax and not only change the meaning of quoted =-prefixed
paths (though arguably that's not very useful before this patchset).
This got a little bit hairier than I'd expected: I had to add a new
lexer state (aka. start condition) to avoid a first "=" being lexed as
the token "=", despite that not making sense in constructs expecting
file-names in the first place. (The grammar doesn't allow for
expressions in any part of those lists.) I guess I *could* have made
it work using that token anyway, but I didn't like the idea that you
would be able to separate the "=" from the rest of the file-name with
whitespace.
