Sam Clegg 3b8d2be527 Reland: "[lld][WebAssembly] Initial support merging string data"
This change was originally landed in: 5000a1b4b9
It was reverted in: 061e071d8c

This change adds support for a new WASM_SEG_FLAG_STRINGS flag in
the object format which works in a similar fashion to SHF_STRINGS
in the ELF world.

Unlike the ELF linker this support is currently limited:
- No support for SHF_MERGE (non-string merging)
- Always do full tail merging ("lo" can be merged with "hello")
- Only support single byte strings (p2align 0)

Like the ELF linker merging is only performed at `-O1` and above.

This fixes part of https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48828,
although crucially it doesn't not currently support debug sections
because they are not represented by data segments (they are custom
sections)
