[lld][BP] Avoid ordering ICF'ed sections (#126327)
ICF runs before BPSectionOrderer. When a section is ICF'ed, it seems
that the original sections are marked as not live, but are still kept
around. Prior to this patch, those ICF'ed sections would be passed to BP
and ordered before being skipped when writing the output. Now, these
sections are no longer passed to BP, saving runtime and possibly
improving BP's output.

In a large binary, I found that the number of sections ordered using BP
decreased, while the number of duplicate sections drastically decreased
as expected.
