We'd like to include some of these in C++ code later.
Specifically, ACO is written in C++ and we would like to use
some of this code in ACO in order to avoid code duplication.

We usually use these counts as a simple way to figure out if a change
reduces the number of instructions or shrinks an instruction. However,
since .rodata sections aren't executed, we shouldn't be counting their
size for this analysis. Make the linker return the total executable
size, and use it to report the more useful size in both drivers.

Upcoming changes to LLVM will emit LDS objects as symbols in the ELF
symbol table, with relocations that will be resolved with this change.
Callers will also be able to define LDS symbols that are shared between
shader parts. This will be used by radeonsi for the ESGS ring in gfx9+
merged shaders.

Using an explicit linker instead of just concatenating .text
sections will allow us to start using .rodata sections and
explicit descriptions of data on LDS that is shared between
stages.
