The #[used] attribute explicitly only requires symbols to be
retained in object files, but allows the linker to drop them
if dead. This corresponds to llvm.compiler.used semantics.
The motivation to change this *now* is that https://reviews.llvm.org/D97448
starts emitting #[used] symbols into unique sections with
SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag. This triggers a bug in some version of gold,
resulting in the ARGV_INIT_ARRAY symbol part of the .init_array
section to be incorrectly placed.
