Sections must start at page boundaries in memory, but they
can be aligned to sector boundaries (512-bytes) on disk.
We aligned them to 4096-byte boundaries even on disk, so we
wasted disk space a bit.

A global variable "Driver" is to re-entry to the driver to parse a
.drectve section. Because the need is COFF-specific, we don't need
this variable for ELF.

MSVC 2015's load configuration object (__load_config_used) contains
references to these symbols. I don't fully understand how it works,
but looks like these symbols are linker-defined ones. So I define them
here in the Driver. With this patch, LLD can self-host with MSVC 2015.
This patch is to link MSVC 2015-produced object files. It does not
implement Control Flow Protection. If I understand correctly, the
linker has to create a bitmap of function entry point addresses for
the CFG runtime. We don't do that yet. Produced executables will not
be protected by CFG.

SymbolTable::find(mangle(X)) is equivalent to SymbolTable::findUnderscore(X)
except that the latter is slightly efficient as that doesn't allocate a new
string.

This has a few advantages
* Less C++ code (about 300 lines less).
* Less machine code (about 14 KB of text on a linux x86_64 build).
* It is more debugger friendly. Just set a breakpoint on the exit function and
you get the complete lld stack trace of when the error was found.
* It is a more robust API. The errors are handled early and we don't get a
std::error_code hot potato being passed around.
* In most cases the error function in a better position to print diagnostics
(it has more context).

Various parameters are passed implicitly using Config global variable
already. Output file path is no different from others, so there was no
special reason to handle that differnetly.
This patch changes the signature of writeResult(SymbolTable *, StringRef)
to writeResult(SymbolTable *).

We are using Writer more like a function instead of a class.
This patch makes it a function to simplify the interface.
All details of Writer class is now hidden from other parts of the linker.

We were printing an error but exiting with 0.
Not sure how to test this. We could add a no-winlib feature,
but that is probably not worth it.

It was not using LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR and at least on my VM never finding lib.exe.
With this all the COFF tests show up as supported and pass.

The others we have in sight are
* common symbols.
* entries in SHF_MERGE sections.
They will have a substantially different treatment. It is not clear if it is
worth it putting them all in a single list just to dispatch based on the kind on
the other side.
I hope to implement common symbols soon, and then we will be in a position
to have a concrete discussion. For now this is simpler for the the implemented
features.
