[ELF] Make input section's writeTo virtual (required to make .got.plt section synthetic)
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

The .got.plt section needs to write VA of .dynamic section, so we cannot build its output buffer in finalizeSections().
There are two approaches to deal with this:

a) Make writeTo virtual, so that section is written after assignAddresses() is called. This is what this patch does.
b) Implement special procedure for writing synthetic input sections (like we do with writeBuildId).

I'm okay with virtualizing writeTo, but Rafael might have something to say because he seems to try to avoid virtual functions for InputSection class.
