    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.
