ELF ICF: Merge only functions.

Previously, LLD merged all read-only sections. So the following
program prints out "true" if -icf=all is specified.

  static const int foo = 1;
  static const int bar = 1;
  int main() { printf("%s\n", &foo == &bar ? "true" : "false"); }

This is somewhat counter-intuitive, and it actually caused nasty issues.
One example is https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=682773#c24.

This patch changes the way how it works. Now ICF merges only functions
(i.e. executable sections).
