section-select: Fix performance problem (PR30367)
when using many wild-statements with non-wildcard filenames we were running into quadraticness via repeatedly using lookup_name on a long list of loaded files. I've originally retained using lookup_name because that preserved existing behaviour most obviously. In particular in matching wild-statements when using a non-wildcard filename it matches against local_sym_name, not the filename member. If the wildspec would have an archive-spec or a wildcard it would use the filename member, though. Also it would load the named file (and ignore it, as being not equal to the currently considered input-statement). Rewrite this to not use lookup_name but retain the comparison against local_sym_name with a comment to that effect. PR 30367 * ldlang.c (walk_wild_section_match): Don't use lookup_name but directly compare spec and local_sym_name. (cherry picked from commit 8f5cd47bee6c07c33aeda758d8d8db5f81ae03e7)
