The darwin linker operates differently than the gnu linker with respect to
libraries. The darwin linker first links in all object files from the command
line, then to resolve any remaining undefines, it repeatedly iterates over
libraries on the command line until either all undefines are resolved or no
undefines were resolved in the last pass.
When Shankar made the InputGraph model, the plan for darwin was for the darwin
driver to place all libraries in a group at the end of the InputGraph. Thus
making the darwin model a subset of the gnu model. But it turns out that does
not work because the driver cannot tell if a file is an object or library until
it has been loaded, which happens later.
This solution is to subclass InputGraph for darwin and just iterate the graph
the way darwin linker needs.

Previously, we would not check the target machine type and the module (object)
machine type. Add a check to ensure that we do not attempt to use an object
file with a different target architecture.
This change identified a couple of tests which were incorrectly mixing up
architecture types, using x86 input for a x64 target. Adjust the tests
appropriately. The renaming of the input and the architectures covers the
changes to the existing tests.
One significant change to the existing tests is that the newly added test input
for x64 uses the correct user label prefix for X64.

Rather than a series of cascading ifs, use a switch statement to convert the
error code to a string. This has the benefit of allowing the compiler to inform
us if we ever add a new error code but fail to update the string representation.
Add in stringified versions for a couple of missing InputGraphErrors.

The mergeByContent attribute on DefinedAtoms triggers the symbol table to
coalesce atoms with the exact same content. The problem is that atoms can also
have a required custom section. The coalescing should never change the custom
section of an atom.
The fix is to only consider to atoms to have the same content if their
sectionChoice() and customSectionName() attributes match.

No functionality change. This removes a down-cast from LinkingContext to
MachOLinkingContext.
Also, remove const from LinkingContext::createImplicitFiles() to remove
the need for another const cast. Seems reasonable for createImplicitFiles()
to need to modify the context (MachOLinkingContext does).

The darwin linker has the -demangle option which directs it to demangle C++
(and soon Swift) mangled symbol names. Long term we need some Diagnostics object
for formatting errors and warnings. But for now we have the Core linker just
writing messages to llvm::errs(). So, to enable demangling, I changed the
Resolver to call a LinkingContext method on the symbol name.
To make this more interesting, the demangling code is done via __cxa_demangle()
which is part of the C++ ABI, which is only supported on some platforms, so I
had to conditionalize the code with the config generated HAVE_CXXABI_H.

This is a minimally useful pass to construct the __unwind_info section in a
final object from the various __compact_unwind inputs. Currently it doesn't
produce any compressed pages, only works for x86_64 and will fail if any
function ends up without __compact_unwind.

defined in a shared library.
Now LLD does not export a strong defined symbol if it coalesces away a
weak symbol defined in a shared library. This bug affects all ELF
architectures and leads to segfault:
% cat foo.c
extern int __attribute__((weak)) flag;
int foo() { return flag; }
% cat main.c
int flag = 1;
int foo();
int main() { return foo() == 1 ? 0 : -1; }
% clang -c -fPIC foo.c main.c
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -shared -o libfoo.so ... foo.o
% lld -flavor gnu -target x86_64 -o a.out ... main.o libfoo.so
% ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The problem is caused by the fact that we lose all information about
coalesced symbols after the `Resolver::resolve()` method is finished.
The patch solves the problem by overriding the
`LinkingContext::notifySymbolTableCoalesce()` method and saving names
of coalesced symbols. Later in the `buildDynamicSymbolTable()` routine
we use this information to export these symbols.

This is the one interesting aspect from:

These hooks are useful for flavor specific processing, such as recording that
a DefinedAtom replaced a weak SharedLibraryAtom.

insertElementAt(x, END) does the identical thing as addInputElement(x),
so the only reasonable use of insertElementAt is to call it with the
other possible argument, BEGIN. That means the second parameter of the
function is just redundant. This patch is to remove the second
parameter and rename the function accordingly.

COFF supports a feature similar to ELF's section groups. This
patch implements it.
In ELF, section groups are identified by their names, and they are
treated somewhat differently from regular symbols. In COFF, the
feature is realized in a more straightforward way. A section can
have an annotation saying "if Nth section is linked, link this
section too."
I added a new reference type, kindAssociate. If a target atom is
coalesced away, the referring atom is removed by Resolver, so that
they are treated as a group.

This code was never being used and any use of it would look fairly strange.
For example, it would try to map a NativeReaderError::file_malformed to
std::errc::invalid_argument.

isCoalescedAway(x) is faster than replacement(x) != x as the former
does not follow the replacement atom chain. Also it's easier to use.

Previously section groups are doubly linked to their children.
That is, an atom representing a group has group-child references
to its group contents, and content atoms also have group-parent
references to the group atom. That relationship was invariant;
if X has a group-child edge to Y, Y must have a group-parent
edge to X.
However we were not using group-parent references at all. The
resolver only needs group-child edges.
This patch simplifies the section group by removing the unused
reverse edge. No functionality change intended.

Layout-before edges are no longer used for layout, but they are
still there for dead-stripping. If we would just remove them
from code, LLD would wrongly remove live atoms that were
referenced by layout-befores.
This patch fixes the issue. Before dead-stripping, it scans all
atoms to construct a reverse map for layout-after edges. Dead-
stripping pass uses the map to traverse the graph.

Reference::target() never returns a nullptr, so NULL check
is not needed and is more harmful than doing nothing.

This is a short-term fix to allow lld Readers to return error messages
with dynamic content.
The long term fix will be to enhance ErrorOr<> to work with errors other
than error_code. Or to change the interface to Readers to pass down a
diagnostics object through which all error messages are written.

In r205566, I made a change to Resolver so that Resolver revisit
only archive files in --start-group and --end-group pair. That's
not correct, as it also has to revisit DSO files.
This patch is to fix the issue.
Added a test to demonstrate the fix. I confirmed that it succeeded
before r205566, failed after r205566, and is ok with this patch.

Make it possible to add observers to an Input Graph, so that files
returned from an Input Graph can be examined before they are
passed to Resolver.
To implement some PE/COFF features we need to know all the symbols
that *can* be solved, including ones in archive files that are not
yet to be read.
Currently, Resolver only maintains a set of symbols that are
already read. It has no knowledge on symbols in skipped files in
an archive file.
There are many ways to implement that. I chose to apply the
observer pattern here because it seems most non-intrusive. We don't
want to mess up Resolver with architecture specific features.
Even in PE/COFF, the feature that needs this mechanism is minor.
So I chose not to modify Resolver, but add a hook to Input Graph.
