Summary:
We use the special section name `.llvm.offloading` to store device
imagees in the host object file. We want these to be stripped by the
linker as they are not used after linking so we use the `SHF_EXCLUDE`
flag to instruct the linker to drop them. We used to do this for all
sections that started with `.llvm.offloading` when we encoded metadata
in the section name itself. Now we embed a special binary containing the
metadata, we should only add the flag on this name specifically.
