lto: load bitcode sections by name

Upstream change
llvm/llvm-project@6b539f5eb8 changed `isSectionBitcode` works and it now only respects `.llvm.lto` sections instead of also `.llvmbc`, which it says was never intended to be used for LTO. We instead load sections by name, and sniff for raw bitcode by hand.

This is an alternative approach to #115136, where we tried the same thing using the `object` crate, but it got too fraught to continue.
