Summary:
the patch implement of following functionality.
1. export the symbols from archive or object files.
2. sort the export symbols. (based on same symbol name and visibility)
3. delete the duplicate export symbols (based on same symbol name and visibility)
4. print out the unique and sorted export symbols (print the symbol name and visibility).
there are two new options are add in the patch
1. --export-symbols (enable the functionality of export unique symbol)
2. --no-rsrc (exclude the symbol name begin with "__rsrc" from be exporting from xcoff object file)
Export symbol list for xcoff object file has the same functionality as
The patch has the same functionality as

Summary:
Added a new option "-X" to specify, which type of object file should be examine.
For example:
1. "llvm-nm -X64 archive.a" only deal with the 64bit object files in the archive.a ,ignore the all 32bit object files in the archive.a
2. "llvm-nm -X32 xcoffobj32.o xcoffobj64.o " only deal with the 32bit object file "xcoffobj32.o" , 64bit object file "xcoffobj64.o" will be ignored

"Binary utilities: switch command line parsing from llvm::cl to OptTable"
Users should generally observe no difference as long as they only use intended
option forms. Behavior changes:
* `-t=d` is removed. Use `-t d` instead.
* `--demangle=0` cannot be used. Omit the option or use `--no-demangle` instead.
* `--help-list` is removed. This is a `cl::` specific option.
Note:
* `-t` diagnostic gets improved.
* This patch avoids cl::opt collision if we decide to support multiplexing for binary utilities
* One-dash long options are still supported.
* The `-s` collision (`-s segment section` for Mach-O) is unfortunate. `-s` means `--print-armap` in GNU nm.
* This patch removes the last `cl::multi_val` use case from the `llvm/lib/Support/CommandLine.cpp` library
`-M` (`--print-armap`), `-U` (`--defined-only`), and `-W` (`--no-weak`)
are now deprecated. They could conflict with future GNU nm options.
(--print-armap has an existing alias -s, so GNU will unlikely add a new one.
--no-weak (not in GNU nm) is rarely used anyway.)
`--just-symbol-name` is now deprecated in favor of
`--format=just-symbols` and `-j`.

Summary:
This completes the needed glueing to support reading tbd files from nm.
This includes specifying which slice filtering with `--arch` and a new
option specifically for tbd files `--add-inlinedinfo` which will show
the reexported libraries that are appended in the tbd file.

Follow-up to r371983. Referring to "this program" in the description of
the --version option in the documentation isn't exactly correct, because
the docs are not part of the program, and so "this program" doesn't
really refer to anything. This patch brings the other users of this
terminology into line with the new updates to llvm-size and
llvm-strings.

The "See Also" section for llvm-nm didn't actually contain any links,
and the tools referred to didn't make much sense (referring to non-LLVM
tools, when we have equivalents, or tools that aren't really to do with
symbol dumping). llvm-objdump's didn't refer to llvm-readelf.

Sphinx allows for definitions of command-line options using
`.. option <name>` and references to those options via `:option:<name>`.
However, it looks like there is no scoping of these options by default,
meaning that links can end up pointing to incorrect documents. See for
example the llvm-mca document, which contains references to -o that,
prior to this patch, pointed to a different document. What's worse is
that these links appear to be non-deterministic in which one is picked
(on my machine, some references end up pointing to opt, whereas on the
live docs, they point to llvm-dwarfdump, for example).
The fix is to add the .. program <name> tag. This essentially namespaces
the options (definitions and references) to the named program, ensuring
that the links are kept correct.

Many LLVM-based tools already support response files (i.e. files
containing a list of options, specified with '@'). This change simply
updates the documentation and help text for some of these tools to
include it. I haven't attempted to fix all tools, just a selection that
I am interested in.
I've taken the opportunity to add some tests for --help behaviour, where
they were missing. We could expand these tests, but I don't think that's
within scope of this patch.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42233 and

Lots of blocks had "llvm" or "nasm" syntax types but either weren't following
the syntax, or the syntax has changed (and sphinx hasn't keep up) or the type
doesn't even exist (nasm?).
Other documents had :options: what were invalid. I only removed those that had
warnings, and left the ones that didn't, in order to follow the principle of
least surprise.
This is like this for ages, but the buildbot is now failing on errors. It may
take a while to upgrade the buildbot's sphinx, if that's even possible, but
that shouldn't stop us from getting docs updates (which seem down for quite
a while).
Also, we're not losing any syntax highlight, since when it doesn't parse, it
doesn't colour. Ie. those blocks are not being highlighted anyway.
I'm trying to get all docs in one go, so that it's easy to revert later if we
do fix, or at least easy to know what's to fix.
