Looks like if you have symbol foo in a module-definition file
(.def file), and if the actual symbol name to match that export
description is _foo@x (where x is an integer), the exported
symbol name becomes this.
- foo in the .dll file
- foo@x in the .lib file
I have checked in a few fixes recently for exported symbol name mangling.
I haven't found a simple rule that governs all the mangling rules.
There may not ever exist. For now, this is a patch to improve .lib
file compatibility.

We did not actively try to resolve dllexported symbols specified
by /export or by a module definition file. So if exported symbols
would be resolved for other reasons, like other symbols refer to
them, that was fine, but if (unreferenced) exported symbols were
in an archive file, and no one refers to that file in the archive,
they remained unresolved.
That would obviously cause the issue that dllexported symbols are
not in a resultant DLL.
In this patch, we create an undefined symbol for each dllexported
symbol, to let the core linker to resolve it.

When creating a .lib file, we should strip the leading underscore,
but should not strip stdcall atsign suffix. Otherwise produced .lib
files cannot be linked.

Previously the input file for the lib.exe command would be removed
as soon as the command exits, so we couldn't write a test to check
the file contents are correct.
This patch adds /lldmoduledeffile: option to retain a copy of the
temporary file at the given file path, so that you can see the file
if you want.
