<pre>lld will ignore the NOLOAD annotation of output sections which have no
associated inputs sections.
Repro steps
1. Create a linker script with two output sections. One that contains an input
section and one that contains no input sections. The later should be marked as
NOLOAD.
```bash
echo "SECTIONS {
.text : { *(.text) }
.data_noload (NOLOAD) : { . += 1; }
};" > tmp.script
```
2. Create an output object which has some data in it
```bash
echo ".section .text,\"ax\",@progbits
nop" > tmp.asm
llvm-mc -filetype=obj -triple=x86_64-unknown-linux tmp.asm -o tmp.o
```
3) Link the object file using the script
```bash
ld.lld -o tmp --script tmp.script tmp.o
```
4) Use readelf to dump the sections
```bash
llvm-readelf tmp -S -l
```
I expect to see .data_noload marked as NOBITS but instead I see it marked as
PROGBITS.</pre>
