ELFLinkingContext has a method addUndefinedAtomsFromSharedLibrary().
The method is being used to skip a shared library within --start-group
and --end-group if it's not the first iteration of the group.
We have the same, incomplete mechanism to skip a shared library within
a group too. That's implemented in ELFFileNode. It's intended to not
return a shared library on the second or further iterations in the
first place. This mechanism is preferred over
addUndefinedAtomsFromSharedLibrary because the policy is implemented
in Input Graph -- that's what Input Graph is for.
This patch removes the dupluicate feature and fixes ELFFileNode.

Resolver is sending too much information to Input Graph than Input
Graph actually needs. In order to collect the detailed information,
which wouldn't be consumed by anyone, we have a good amount of code
in Resolver, Input Graph and Input Elements. This patch is to
simplify it. No functionality change.
Specifically, this patch replaces ResolverState enum with a boolean
value. The enum defines many bits to notify the progress about
linking to Input Graph using bit masks, however, what Input Graph
actually does is to compare a given value with 0. The details of
the bit mask is simply being ignored, so the efforts to collect
such data is wasted.
This patch also changes the name of the notification interface from
setResolverState to notifyProgress, to make it sounds more like
message passing style. It's not a setter but something to notify of
an update, so the new name should be more appropriate than before.

LinkingContext and InputGraph are unnecessarily entangled. Most linker
input file data, e.g. the vector containing input files, the next index
of the input file, etc. are managed by InputGraph, but only the current
input file is for no obvious reason managed by LinkingContext.
This patch is to move code from LinkingContext to InputGraph to fix it.
It's now clear who's reponsible for managing input file state, which is
InputGraph, and LinkingContext is now free from that responsibility.
It improves the readability as we now have fewer dependencies between
classes. No functionality change.

.gnu.linkonce sections are similar to section groups.
They were supported before section groups existed and provided a way
to resolve COMDAT sections using a different design.
There are few implementations that use .gnu.linkonce sections
to store simple floating point constants which doesnot require complex section
group support but need a way to store only one copy of the floating point
constant in a binary.
.gnu.linkonce based symbol resolution achieves that.

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.

This adds LinkerScript support by creating a type Script which is of type
FileNode in the InputGraph. Once the LinkerScript Parser converts the
LinkerScript into a sequence of command, the commands are handled by the
equivalent LinkerScript node for the current Flavor/Target. For ELF, a
ELFGNULdScript gets created which converts the commands to ELF nodes and ELF
control nodes(ELFGroup for handling Group nodes).
Since the Inputfile type has to be determined in the Driver, the Driver needs
to determine the complete path of the file that needs to be processed by the
Linker. Due to this, few tests have been removed since the Driver uses paths
that doesnot exist.

This adds functionality to limit shared library undefined atoms to be added
only once by the Resolver.
Dynamic libraries may be processed more than once if they exist within a
Group.
Also adds a test to verify the change.

The fallback atom was used only when it's searching for a symbol in a library;
if an undefined symbol was not found in a library, the LLD looked for its
fallback symbol in the library.
Although it worked in most cases, because symbols with fallbacks usually occur
only in OLDNAMES.LIB (a standard library), that behavior was incompatible with
link.exe. This patch fixes the issue so that the semantics is the same as
MSVC's link.exe
The new (and correct, I believe) behavior is this:
- If there's no definition for an undefined atom, replace the undefined atom
with its fallback and then proceed (e.g. look in the next file or stop
linking as usual.)
Weak External symbols are underspecified in the Microsoft PE/COFF spec. However,
as long as I observed the behavior of link.exe, this seems to be what we want
for compatibility.

Dead-strip root symbols can be undefined atoms, but should not really be
nonexistent, because dead-strip root symbols should be added to initial

This change removes code in various places which was setting the File Ordinals.
This is because the file ordinals are assigned by the way files are resolved.
There was no other way than making the getNextFileAndOrdinal be set const and
change the _nextOrdinal to mutable.
There are so many places in code, that you would need to cleanup to make
LinkingContext non-const!

This associates resolveState to FileNodes. The control node derive
their resolution state from the inputElements that are contained in
it.

In COFF, an undefined symbol can have up to one alternative name. If a symbol
is resolved by its regular name, then it's linked normally. If a symbol is not
found in any input files, all references to the regular name are resolved using
the alternative name. If the alternative name is not found, it's a link error.
This mechanism is called "weak externals".
To support this mechanism, I added a new member function fallback() to undefined
atom. If an undefined atom has the second name, fallback() returns a new undefined
atom that should be used instead of the original one to resolve undefines. If it
does not have the second name, the function returns nullptr.

The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.
