Log:
COFF: Do not create SectionChunks for discarded comdat sections.

With this change, instead of creating a SectionChunk for each section
in the object file, we only create them when we encounter a prevailing
comdat section.

Also change how symbol resolution occurs between comdat symbols. Now
only the comdat leader participates in comdat resolution, and not any
other external associated symbols. This is more in line with how COFF
semantics are defined, and should allow for a more straightforward
implementation of non-ANY comdat types.

On my machine, this change reduces our runtime linking a release
build of chrome_child.dll with /nopdb from 5.65s to 4.54s (median of
50 runs).
