    cmd/link: separate virtual address layout from file layout · 8998c55e
    Austin Clements authored
    Currently these two forms of layout are done in a single pass. This
    makes it difficult to compress DWARF sections because that must be
    done after relocations are applied, which must happen after virtual
    address layout, but we can't layout the file until we've compressed
    the DWARF sections.
    
    Fix this by separating the two layout steps. In the process, we can
    also unify the copy-pasted code in Link.address to compute file
    offsets, which currently has some unnecessary variation.
    
    Unlike the current file offset computation, which depends on virtual
    addresses, the new computation only uses file offsets and sizes. This
    will let us compress the file representation of a segment and create
    the file layout based on its on-disk size rather than its original
    in-memory size.
    
    Tested by comparing the test binary for the "strings" package on all
    supported GOOS/GOARCH combinations. All binaries are identical
    (except, of course, their build IDs).
    
    This is a second attempt at CL 111682.
    
    For #11799.
    Fixes #25863.
