Module-definition (.def) files are the file containing linker directives,
such as export symbols. Because link.exe supports the same features as command
line options, just as some Linker Script commands overlaps with command line
options, use of module-definition file is not really necessary. It provides
an alternative way to specify some linker options.
This patch implements EXPORTS directive. Other directives will be implemented
in the future.

Currently LLD always print a warning message if the same symbol is specified
more than once for /export option. It's a bit annoying because specifying the
same symbol with compatible options is actually safe and considered as a
normal use case. This patch makes LLD to warn only when incompatible export
options are given.

Each export symbol descriptor has unique name attribute, so std::set is
better container than std::vector for it. No functionality change.

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like DLL entry symbol (DLL initializer function
name) should be _DllMainCRTStartup@12. The reason why I'm not very sure is
because I have no idea what "@12" suffix is, but without it the symbol won't
be resolved...

Currently .drectve section contents are parsed after other sections are parsed.
That order may result in wrong results if other sections depend on command line
options in the directive section.
For example, if a weak symbol is defined using /alternatename option in the
directive section, we have to read it first and then read the text section
contents. Otherwise the weak symbol won't be defined.
This patch changes the order to fix the issue.

There are many object files in the standard library who have empty .drective
sections. Parsing the empty string is not wrong but a waste.

There was a bug that the linker does not report an error if symbols specified
by -u (or /include on Windows) are not resolved. This patch fixes it by adding
such symbols to the dead strip root.

Command line argument separator on Windows is colon. We used to accept space
as a separator, but we removed most of the code for that. This patch is to
delete the remaining code.
