Before this patch, the debug record S_GTHREAD32 which represents global thread_local symbols, was emitted by LLD into the respective module stream. This makes Visual Studio unable to display thread_local symbols in the debugger.
After this patch, S_GTHREAD32 is moved into the globals stream. This matches MSVC behavior.

--no-threads is a name copied from gold.
gold has --no-thread, --thread-count and several other --thread-count-*.
There are needs to customize the number of threads (running several lld
processes concurrently or customizing the number of LTO threads).
Having a single --threads=N is a straightforward replacement of gold's
--no-threads + --thread-count.
--no-threads is used rarely. So just delete --no-threads instead of
keeping it for compatibility for a while.
If --threads= is specified (ELF,wasm; COFF /threads: is similar),
--thinlto-jobs= defaults to --threads=,
otherwise all available hardware threads are used.
There is currently no way to override a --threads={1,2,...}. It is still
a debate whether we should use --threads=all.

Previously these were dropped. We now understand them sufficiently
well to start emitting them. From the debugger's perspective, this
now enables us to have debug info about typedefs (both global and
function-locally scoped)

One place where this seems to matter is to make sure the .rsrc section comes
after .text. The Win32 UpdateResource() function can change the contents of
.rsrc. It will move the sections that come after, but if .text gets moved, the
entry point header will not get updated and the executable breaks. This was
found by a test in Chromium.

We don't have the right algorithm for copying S_UDT symbols
from object files to the globals stream, and having it wrong
is worse than not having it at all, since it breaks display
of local variables of UDT types (for example, "dv Foo" fails
in our current implementation, but succeeds if the S_UDT records
are omitted). Omit them until we fix the algorithm.

Previously we were writing an empty globals stream. Windows
tools interpret this as "private symbols are not present in
this PDB", even when they are, so we need to fix this. Regardless,
without it we don't have information about global variables, so
we need to fix it anyway. This patch does that.
With this patch, the "lm" command in WinDbg correctly reports
that we have private symbols available, but the "dv" command
still refuses to display local variables.
