Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [LLD] Add support for `.openbsd.mutable`

(rebaser's note) adapted from:
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/bd249b5664da50f0178adea78250a7a0d8ea6566
New auto-coalescing sections removed

In the linkers, collect objects in section "openbsd.mutable" and place them into a page-aligned region in the bss, with the right markers for kernel/ld.so to identify the region and skip making it immutable. While here, fix readelf/objdump versions to show all of this. ok miod kettenis

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] [LLD] Add support for `.openbsd.syscalls`

(rebaser's note) adapted from:
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/42a61acefa8b3288ff2163fb55e934a3fee39974

Collect .openbsd.syscalls sections into a new PT_OPENBSD_SYSCALLS segment. This will be used soon to pin system calls to designated call sites.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [LLMV][LLD] Scope OpenBSD special section handling under
 that ELFOSABI

As the preexisting comment (that I referred to) says:

> section names shouldn't be significant in ELF in spirit.

so scoping OSABI-specific magic name hacks to just the OSABI in question
limits the degree to which we deviate from that "spirit" for all other
OSABIs.

OpenBSD in particular is very fast moving, having added a number of
special sections, etc. in recent years. It is unclear how possible /
reasonable it is for upstream to implement all these features in any
event, but scoping like this at least mitigates the fallout for other
OSABIs systems which wish to be more slow-moving.

LLVM is likewise changed so that binaries have this ABI by default for
OpenBSD targets.
