    mold: update to 2.31.0

    Packaging changes:
    - removed CMakeLists patch as it is no longer necessary

    Upstream changes:
    2.30.0 -> 2.30.1:
    New Features:
    - Up to 10% faster when linking very large, debug info-enabled
      executables
    - `-z start-stop-visibility=hidden` is now supported so that
      linker-synthesized __start_<section-name> and
      __stop_<section-name> symbols can be completely hidden from other
      ELF modules.
    - -Bsymbolic-non-weak and -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions options
      are now supported for compatibility with LLVM lld. Just like lld,
      these options control which symbols are exported as dynamic
      symbols. -Bsymbolic-non-weak makes the linker to export only weak
      symbols, whereas -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions makes it to export
      only weak function symbols.
    Bug Fixes:
    - if a linker script contains a newline character in the beginning
      four bytes of a file, it was not recognized as a linker script.
    - the INPUT linker script command may have found a different file
      than GNU ld would
    - Fixed the --repro option from produced corrupted tar files

    2.4.1 -> 2.30.0:
    Housekeeping:
    - Version change to avoid GNU libtool from mistaking mold 2.4.1 for
      GNU ld 2.4.1
    - Sections with unknown section types are now reported as errors.
    Bug Fixes:
    - Fixed having inserted an unnecessary gap before the .bss section in
      an output file, thereby creating an extra segment for it.
    - Fixed failing with the "ConcurrentMap is full" error message if
      --gdb-index was used.
    - Suppressed warnings for generating an excessive number of
      "ignoring .llvm_addrsig section without sh_link".

    2.4.0 -> 2.4.1:
    Bug Fixes:
    - Fixed promoting weak dynamic symbols to strong ones under a rare
      circumstance, which caused "undefined symbol" error at runtime.
    - If two or more VERSION clauses in a version script match to the
      same symbol, the first one took precedence. This was incompatible
      with GNU ld, which gives the last one the highest priority,
      causing a Qt library link failure
    - By default, we demangle symbols in error messages so that they are
      easier to read. Previously, Rust symbols could accidentally be
      demangled as C++ symbols. Now, mold attempts to demangle symbols as
      Rust ones only for object files created by rustc

    2.3.3 -> 2.4.0:
    New Features:
    - added the --spare-program-headers=<number> option
    - `-z rewrite-endbr` option rewrites superflous endbr64 instructions
      with nop as a countermeasure against control-flow highjacking
      attacks.

    Bug Fixes:
    - Fixed not handling object files containing multiple .eh_frame
      sections
    - `mold -run <command>` is an easy way to run the given command with
      a virtual environment in which the ld command is replaced with
      mold.
    - Fixed the production of non-working executables on a rare occasion
      when all thread-local variables lacked an initial value and the
      read-only data required alignment equal to or greater than the page
      size.
    - Fixed possible assignment to a different symbol version to a symbol
    - Recent versions of LLVM emit a machine code sequence for TLSDESC
      thread-local variables that would be mis-optimized.
