Fixes PR50529. With this, lld-linked Chromium base_unittests passes on arm macs.
Surprisingly, no measurable impact on link time.

Extend the range of calls beyond an architecture's limited branch range by first calling a thunk, which loads the far address into a scratch register (x16 on ARM64) and branches through it.
Other ports (COFF, ELF) use multiple passes with successively-refined guesses regarding the expansion of text-space imposed by thunk-space overhead. This MachO algorithm places thunks during MergedOutputSection::finalize() in a single pass using exact thunk-space overheads. Thunks are kept in a separate vector to avoid the overhead of inserting into the `inputs` vector of `MergedOutputSection`.
FIXME:
* arm64-stubs.s test is broken
* add thunk tests
* Handle thunks to DylibSymbol in MergedOutputSection::finalize()

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
given section offset.

The common encodings table holds only 127 entries. The encodings index for compact entries is 8 bits wide, and indexes 127..255 are stored locally to each second-level page. Prior to this diff, lld would `fatal()` if encodings overflowed the 127 limit.
This diff populates a per-second-level-page encodings table as needed. When the per-page encodings table hits its limit, we must terminate the page. If such early termination would consume fewer entries than a regular (non-compact) encoding page, then we prefer the regular format.
Caveat: one reason the common-encoding table might overflow is because of DWARF debug-info references, which are not yet implemented and will come with a later diff.

Digest the input `__LD,__compact_unwind` and produce the output `__TEXT,__unwind_info`. This is the initial commit with the major functionality.
Successor commits will add handling for ...
* `__TEXT,__eh_frame`
* personalities & LSDA
* `-r` pass-through
