The new Darwin backend for LLD is now able to link reasonably large
real-world programs on x86_64. For instance, we have achieved
self-hosting for the X86_64 target, where all LLD tests pass when
building lld with itself on macOS. As such, we would like to make it the
default back-end.
The new port is now named `ld64.lld`, and the old port remains
accessible as `ld64.lld.darwinold`
This [annoucement email][1] has some context. (But note that, unlike
what the email says, we are no longer doing this as part of the LLVM 12
branch cut -- instead we will go into LLVM 13.)
Numerous mechanical test changes were required to make this change; in
the interest of creating something that's reviewable on Phabricator,
I've split out the boring changes into a separate diff (D95905). I plan to
merge its contents with those in this diff before landing.
(@gkm made the original draft of this diff, and he has agreed to let me
take over.)

TREATMENT can be `error`, `warning`, `suppress`, or `dynamic_lookup`
The `dymanic_lookup` remains unimplemented for now.

It seems to be failing on some Google Buildbots.
This diff also includes a minor fix for the install name of one of
libSystem's re-exports. I don't think it's the cause of the test
failure, though. The wrong install name just meant that the symbol
lookup failure would still happen, but it would have been caused by the
re-export not being found, instead of the arch failing to match.

The re-exports list in a TAPI document can either refer to other inlined
TAPI documents, or to on-disk files (which may themselves be TBD or
regular files.) Similarly, the re-exports of a regular dylib can refer
to a TBD file.

Summary:
As mentioned in https://reviews.llvm.org/D81326#2093931, I'm not sure it
makes sense to use the default target triple to determine -arch.
Long-term we should probably detect it from the input object files, but
in the meantime it would be nice not to have to add it to all our tests
by using a convenient default.

Summary: After {D81326} landed, some tests started failing if they did
not have `-arch` specified. I think one of the reasons happened was due
to the fact that we were taking a reference to a temporary value that
was freed too early. Fixing that got the error to go away on my local
Linux machine.

Add support to lld to use Text Based API stubs for linking. This is
support is incomplete not filtering out platforms. It also does not
account for architecture specific API handling and potentially does not
correctly handle trees of re-exports with inlined libraries being
treated as direct children of the top level library.
