As fix, just return early in Writer::run() if there are any diagnostics

The previous logic was duplicated between symbol-initiated
archive loads versus flag-initiated loads (i.e. `-force_load` and
`-ObjC`). This resulted in code duplication as well as redundant work --
we would create Archive instances twice whenever we had one of those
flags; once in `getArchiveMembers` and again when we constructed the
ArchiveFile.
This was motivated by an upcoming diff where we load archive members
containing ObjC-related symbols before loading those containing
ObjC-related sections, as well as before performing symbol resolution.
Without this refactor, it would be difficult to do that while avoiding
loading the same archive member twice.

`__cfstring` is a special literal section, so instead of breaking it up
at symbol boundaries, we break it up at fixed-width boundaries (since
each literal is the same size). Symbols can only occur at one of those
boundaries, so this is strictly more powerful than
`.subsections_via_symbols`.
With that in place, we then run the section through ICF.
This change is about perf-neutral when linking chromium_framework.

Our implementation draws heavily from LLD-ELF's, which in turn delegates
its string deduplication to llvm-mc's StringTableBuilder. The messiness of
this diff is largely due to the fact that we've previously assumed that
all InputSections get concatenated together to form the output. This is
no longer true with CStringInputSections, which split their contents into
StringPieces. StringPieces are much more lightweight than InputSections,
which is important as we create a lot of them. They may also overlap in
the output, which makes it possible for strings to be tail-merged. In
fact, the initial version of this diff implemented tail merging, but
I've dropped it for reasons I'll explain later.
**Alignment Issues**
Mergeable cstring literals are found under the `__TEXT,__cstring`
section. In contrast to ELF, which puts strings that need different
alignments into different sections, clang's Mach-O backend puts them all
in one section. Strings that need to be aligned have the `.p2align`
directive emitted before them, which simply translates into zero padding
in the object file.
I *think* ld64 extracts the desired per-string alignment from this data
by preserving each string's offset from the last section-aligned
address. I'm not entirely certain since it doesn't seem consistent about
doing this; but perhaps this can be chalked up to cases where ld64 has
to deduplicate strings with different offset/alignment combos -- it
seems to pick one of their alignments to preserve. This doesn't seem
correct in general; we can in fact can induce ld64 to produce a crashing
binary just by linking in an additional object file that only contains
cstrings and no code. See PR50563 for details.
Moreover, this scheme seems rather inefficient: since unaligned and
aligned strings are all put in the same section, which has a single
alignment value, it doesn't seem possible to tell whether a given string
doesn't have any alignment requirements. Preserving offset+alignments
for strings that don't need it is wasteful.
In practice, the crashes seen so far seem to stem from x86_64 SIMD
operations on cstrings. X86_64 requires SIMD accesses to be
16-byte-aligned. So for now, I'm thinking of just aligning all strings
to 16 bytes on x86_64. This is indeed wasteful, but implementation-wise
it's simpler than preserving per-string alignment+offsets. It also
avoids the aforementioned crash after deduplication of
differently-aligned strings. Finally, the overhead is not huge: using
16-byte alignment (vs no alignment) is only a 0.5% size overhead when
linking chromium_framework.
With these alignment requirements, it doesn't make sense to attempt tail
merging -- most strings will not be eligible since their overlaps aren't
likely to start at a 16-byte boundary. Tail-merging (with alignment) for
chromium_framework only improves size by 0.3%.
It's worth noting that LLD-ELF only does tail merging at `-O2`. By
default (at `-O1`), it just deduplicates w/o tail merging. @thakis has
also mentioned that they saw it regress compressed size in some cases
and therefore turned it off. `ld64` does not seem to do tail merging at
all.
**Performance Numbers**
CString deduplication reduces chromium_framework from 250MB to 242MB, or
about a 3.2% reduction.
Numbers for linking chromium_framework on my 3.2 GHz 16-Core Intel Xeon W:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev

As expected, cstring merging incurs some non-trivial overhead.

same, i.e. the refactoring in this diff didn't cost us.

D101114 enforced proper version checks, which exposed a variety of version
mismatch issues in our tests. We previously changed the test inputs to
target 10.0, which was the simpler thing to do, but we should really
just have our lit.local.cfg default to targeting 10.15, which is what is done
here. We're not likely to ever have proper support for the older versions
anyway, as that would require more work for unclear benefit; for instance,
llvm-mc seems to generate a different compact unwind format for older macOS
versions, which would cause our compact-unwind.s test to fail.
Targeting 10.15 by default causes the following behavioral changes:
* `__mh_execute_header` is now a section symbol instead of an absolute symbol
* LC_BUILD_VERSION gets emitted instead of LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX. The former is
32 bytes in size whereas the latter is 16 bytes, so a bunch of hardcoded
address offsets in our tests had to be updated.
* >= 10.6 executables are PIE by default

Summary: The exact out-of-range value seems to differ by 8 bytes on the

do with what inputs we are getting from llvm-mc. Not sure why, but I
don't think it's super important -- let's just ignore the number, the
out-of-range message is the important thing here
Previously, it was difficult to write code that handled both synthetic
and regular sections generically. We solve this problem by creating a
fake InputSection at the start of every SyntheticSection.
This refactor allows us to handle DSOHandle like a regular Defined
symbol (since Defined symbols must be attached to an InputSection), and
paves the way for supporting `__mh_*header` symbols. Additionally, it
simplifies our binding/rebase code.
I did have to extend Defined a little -- it now has a `linkerInternal`
flag, to indicate that `___dso_handle` should not be in the final symbol
table.
I've also added some additional testing for `___dso_handle`.

When parsing bitcode, convert LTO Symbols to LLD Symbols in order to perform
resolution. The "winning" symbol will then be marked as Prevailing at LTO
compilation time. This is similar to what the other LLD ports do.
This change allows us to handle `linkonce` symbols correctly, and to deal with
duplicate bitcode symbols gracefully. Previously, both scenarios would result in
an assertion failure inside the LTO code, complaining that multiple Prevailing
definitions are not allowed.
While at it, I also added basic logic around visibility. We don't do anything
useful with it yet, but we do check that its value is valid. LLD-ELF appears to
use it only to set FinalDefinitionInLinkageUnit for LTO, which I think is just a
performance optimization.
From my local experimentation, the linker itself doesn't seem to do anything
differently when encountering linkonce / linkonce_odr / weak / weak_odr. So I've
only written a test for one of them. LLD-ELF has more, but they seem to mostly
be testing the intermediate bitcode output of their LTO backend...? I'm far from
an expert here though, so I might very well be missing things.

Note that there is a triple indirection involved with
personalities and compact unwind:
1. Two bits of each CU encoding are used as an offset into the
personality array.
2. Each entry of the personality array is an offset from the image base.
The resulting address (after adding the image base) should point within the
GOT.
3. The corresponding GOT entry contains the actual pointer to the
personality function.
To further complicate things, when the personality function is in the
object file (as opposed to a dylib), its references in
`__compact_unwind` may refer to it via a section + offset relocation
instead of a symbol relocation. Since our GOT implementation can only
create entries for symbols, we have to create a synthetic symbol at the
