UniversalDriver was used as a dispatcher to each platform-specific driver.
It had its own Options.td file. It was not just too much to parse only a
few options (we only want to parse -core, -flavor or argv[0]),
but also interpreted arguments too early. For example, if you invoke lld as
"lld -flavor gnu ... -help", then you'd get the UniversalDriver's help
message instead of GnuDriver's. This patch eliminates the use of Options
from the dispatcher.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.

These changes depended on r225674 and had been rolled back in r225859.
Because r225674 has been re-submitted, it's safe to re-submit them.

r225764 broke a basic functionality on Mac OS. This change reverts
r225764, r225766, r225767, r225769, r225814, r225816, r225829, and r225832.

getNextFile used to have a complex logic to determine which file
should be processed by the Resolver on next iteration.
Now, it is just a sequential accessor to the internal array and
provides no sensible feature.
This patch also removes InputGraph::getGroupSize and InputGraph::
skipGroup to simplify the code.
