loadFile could load mulitple files just because yaml has a feature for
putting multiple documents in one file.
Designing a linker around what yaml can do seems like a bad idea to
me. This patch changes it to read a single file.
There are further improvements to be done to the api and they
will follow shortly.

On Darwin at runtime, dyld will prefer to use the export trie of a dylib instead
of the traditional symbol table (which is large and requires a binary search).
This change enables the linker to generate an export trie and to prefer it if
found in a dylib being linked against. This also simples the yaml for dylibs
because the yaml form of the trie can be reduced to just a sequence of names.

Mach-o uses "two-level namespace" where each undefined symbols is associated
with a specific dylib. This means at runtime the loader (dyld) does need to
search all loaded dylibs for that symbol but rather just the one specified.
Now that llvm-nm -m prints out that info, properly set that info, and test
it in the hello world test cases.

All iOS arm processor support switching between arm and thumb mode at call sites
by using the BLX instruction (instead of BL). But the compiler does not know
the implementation mode for extern functions, so the linker must update BL/BLX
instructions to match what is linked is actually linked together. In addition,
pointers to functions (such as vtables) must have the low bit set if the target
of the pointer is a thumb mode function.
