    ld/elf: Ignore section symbols when matching linkonce with comdat

    When deciding if a single member comdat group section in file FOO should
    be discarded by a linkonce section in file BAR, we check if 2 sections
    define the same set of local and global symbols.  When only one of the
    files doesn't contain the unused section symbols in the symbol table,
    such as object files generated by clang or GNU assembler with

        ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols

    the check will fail since one file has the extra unused section symbols.
    We should ignore both undefined and section symbols in the symbol table
    when making such a decision.
