GNU ld looks for a number of other patterns than just lib<name>.dll.a
and lib<name>.a.
GNU ld does support linking directly against a DLL without using an
import library. If that's the only match for a -l argument, point out
that the user needs to use an import library, instead of leaving the
user with a puzzling message about the -l argument not being found
at all.
Also convert an existing case of fatal() into error().

Support the equals form of the long --entry=<symbol> option,
add a test for the -e<symbol> form.
Add tests for single dash forms of -exclude-all-symbols and
-export-all-symbols.
Support single-dash forms of -out-implib and -output-def, support
the equals form of --output-def=<file>. (We previously had a test
to explicitly disallow -out-implib, but it turns out that GNU ld
actually does support it just fine, despite also matching the
-o<file> option.)
Disallow the double-dashed --u form, add a test for -u<symbol>.

With GNU tools, delayload is handled completely differently. (One
creates a specific delayload import library using dlltool and then
links against it instead of the normal import library.)
Instead of requiring using -Xlink=-delayload:lib.dll, we can provide
an lld specific option for this.

This is implemented by the lld-link option -include:, just like
--require-defined. Contrary to --require-defined, the -u/--undefined
option allows the symbol to remain undefined in the end.
This should fix PR42121.

Libtool concludes that the linker doesn't support shared libraries,
unless this flag is listed in the output of --help.

When integrating PDB output in mingw targeting build systems, it
might be a lot of extra work to specify unique file names for
the pdb output. Therefore allow omitting the actual file name
and let it implicitly be the same name as the linker output, with
a pdb extension.
As the current form of the pdb option takes a separate parameter value,
e.g. "-pdb out.pdb", it is impractical to leave out the parameter value.
Therefore, introduce a second syntax for the option, with an equals
sign, like -pdb=out.pdb, where the value easily can be omitted.
The form -pdb= for requesting pdb files with an implicit name should
work fine, even though it looks a bit unconventional in that form.

In this mode, we retain the symbol table, but skip the actual debug
information.

This allows producing pdb debug info. This is an LLD specific option
since GCC and GNU binutils doesn't support the PDB file format.

The linker refuses using -dynamicbase:no on these architectures.
Stop passing -dynamicbase (which just reinforces the lld-link
default) for simplicity.

GNU ld doesn't seem to support --icf at all, but this was suggested
in D39885, and GNU gold seems to support it.

All of these are disabled by default in GNU ld, but enabled by default
in lld.
Disable dynamicbase by default since it potentially could cause
compatibility issues, but just ignore the others since the lld
default should be fine for most concievable cases.

GNU ld manual says that multi-letter long option can be prefixed with
either -- or -. Therefore, we should accept not only --subsystem but
also -subsystem, for example.
There is one exception. If an option starts with "o", it should only be
prefixed with -- to avoid ambiguity with -o<filename> option.

This is how the flag is documented in GNU binutils ld; -Bstatic
only applies to -l options after it, until the next -Bdynamic.

In MinGW configurations (GCC, or clang with a *-windows-gnu target),
the -export directives in the object file contains the undecorated
symbol name, while it is decorated in MSVC configurations. (On the
command line, link.exe takes an undecorated symbol name for the
-export argument though.)

Pass the -verbose option through to the COFF linker, and show the
arguments passed to it. If the -### option is specified, just show
the produced argument list and exit, just like in clang.
Replace the first argument with "lld-link" in order to produce a
correct command line.

When building COFF programs many targets such as mingw prefer
to have a gnu ld frontend. Rather then having a fully fledged
standalone driver we wrap a shim around the LINK driver.
