[PATCH] D63432: [ELF] Allow placing SHF_MERGE sections with different alignments into the same MergeSyntheticSection

MaskRay added a comment.

@nickdesaulniers I think this change is still worth making no matter if the Linux kernel use case is a bug or not.

Suppose `sh_name,sh_flags,sh_entsize` are all the same, for two sections with different `sh_addralign`, we currently don't combine them. However, I can't find anything that disallows the merge. The `-r` result will eventually be used as a `-no-pie/-pie/-shared` link, this patch allows us to merge potentially more strings.
