[PATCH] D15765: Rename OutputSection -> Segment.

[Rafael Espíndola via llvm-commits]

Unfortunately I don't think that is correct. The spec says

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first phase, input sections that match in name, type and
attribute flags should be concatenated into single sections ...

In the second phase, sections should be assigned to segments or other
units based on their attribute flags ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So our OutputSection is what the "single sections" refers to.
