Previously only the toplevel elements were expanded by expandElements().
Now we recursively call getReplacements() to expand input elements even
if they are in, say, in a group.

isAlias always returns false and no one is using it. It was
originally added Atom to query if an atom is an alias for another
atom, assuming that alias atoms are different from normal atoms.
We now support atom aliasing, but the way that's implemented is
in a different way than what isAlias assumed. An alias atom is
just a regular defined atom with no content, and it has a layout-
before edge to alias-to atom so that they are layed out at the
same location in the result. So this is dead code, and it doesn't
make much sense to keep it.

Export definitions in a module definition file is as follows:
exportedname[=internalname] [@ordinal [NONAME]] [PRIVATE] [DATA]
Previously we did not support =internalname, so users couldn't export
symbols from a DLL with a different name.

In general the linker scripts's GROUP command works like a pair
of command line options --start-group/--end-group. But there is
a difference in the files look up algorithm.
The --start-group/--end-group commands use a trivial approach:
a) If the path has '-l' prefix, add 'lib' prefix and '.a'/'.so'
suffix and search the path through library search directories.
b) Otherwise, use the path 'as-is'.
The GROUP command implements more compicated approach:
a) If the path has '-l' prefix, add 'lib' prefix and '.a'/'.so'
suffix and search the path through library search directories.
b) If the path does not have '-l' prefix, and sysroot is configured,
and the path starts with the / character, and the script being
processed is located inside the sysroot, search the path under
the sysroot. Otherwise, try to open the path in the current
directory. If it is not found, search through library search
directories.

When creating a .lib file, we should strip the leading underscore,
but should not strip stdcall atsign suffix. Otherwise produced .lib
files cannot be linked.

Previously the input file for the lib.exe command would be removed
as soon as the command exits, so we couldn't write a test to check
the file contents are correct.
This patch adds /lldmoduledeffile: option to retain a copy of the
temporary file at the given file path, so that you can see the file
if you want.

element is a FileNode, request error description. If the element is Group,
print hard coded error message. We need to implement a better diagnostics
here but even current solution is better than a segmentation fault output.

Linker should create _imp_ symbols for local use only when such
symbols cannot be resolved in any other way. If it overrides real
imported symbols, such symbols remain virtually unresolved without
error, causing odd issues. I observed that a program linked with
LLD entered an infinite loop before reaching main() because of
this issue.
This patch moves the virtual file creating _imp_ symbols to the
very end of the input file list. Previously, the file is at the end
of the library file group. Linker might revisit the group many times,
so it was not really at the end of the input file list.

1. Re-implement PLT entries and dynamic relocations emitting to keep PLT
and relocations table in a consistent state.
2. Initialize st_value and st_other fields for dynamic symbols table
entry if this entry corresponds to an external function which address is
taken in a non-PIC executable. In that case the st_value field holds an
address of the function's PLT entry. Also set STO_MIPS_PLT bit in the
st_other field.

Implicit symbol for local use implemented in r207141 was not fully
compatible with MSVC link.exe. In r207141, I implemented the feature
in such way that implicit symbols are defined only when they are
exported with /EXPORT option.
After that I found that implicit symbols are defined not only for
dllexported symbols but for all defined symbols. Actually _imp_
implicit symbols have no relationship with the dllexport feature. You
could add _imp_ to any symbol to get a pointer to the symbol, whether
the symbol is dllexported or not. It looks pretty weird to me but
that's what we want if link.exe behaves that way.
Here is a bit about the implementation: Creating all implicit symbols
beforehand is going to be a huge waste of resource. This feature is
rarely used, and MSVC link.exe even prints out a warning message when
it finds this feature is being used. So we create implicit symbols
on demand. There is an archive file that creates implicit symbols when
they are needed.
