Before this, a hello world program would contain many many unnecessary
entries in its string table.
No behavior change, just makes the string table in the output smaller
and more like ld64's.

Private extern symbols are used for things scoped to the linkage unit.
They cause duplicate symbol errors (so they're in the symbol table,
unlike TU-scoped truly local symbols), but they don't make it into the
export trie. They are created e.g. by compiling with
-fvisibility=hidden.
If two weak symbols have differing privateness, the combined symbol is
non-private external. (Example: inline functions and some TUs that
include the header defining it were built with
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden and some weren't).
A weak private external symbol implicitly has its "weak" dropped and
behaves like a regular strong private external symbol: Weak is an export
trie concept, and private symbols are not in the export trie.
If a weak and a strong symbol have different privateness, the strong
symbol wins.
If two common symbols have differing privateness, the larger symbol
wins. If they have the same size, the privateness of the symbol seen
later during the link wins (!) -- this is a bit lame, but it matches
ld64 and this behavior takes 2 lines less to implement than the less
surprising "result is non-private external), so match ld64.
(Example: `int a` in two .c files, both built with -fcommon,
one built with -fvisibility=hidden and one without.)
This also makes `__dyld_private` a true TU-local symbol, matching ld64.
To make this work, make the `const char*` StringRefZ ctor to correctly
set `size` (without this, writing the string table crashed when calling
getName() on the __dyld_private symbol).
Mention in CommonSymbol's comment that common symbols are now disabled
by default in clang.
Mention in -keep_private_externs's HelpText that the flag only has an
effect with `-r` (which we don't implement yet -- so this patch here
doesn't regress any behavior around -r + -keep_private_externs)). ld64
doesn't explicitly document it, but the commit text of
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL216146 does, and ld64's
OutputFile::buildSymbolTable() checks `_options.outputKind() ==
Options::kObjectFile` before calling `_options.keepPrivateExterns()`
(the only reference to that function).
Fixes PR48536.

Weak references need not necessarily be satisfied at runtime (but they must
still be satisfied at link time). So symbol resolution still works as per usual,
but we now pass around a flag -- ultimately emitting it in the bind table -- to
indicate if a given dylib symbol is a weak reference.
ld64's behavior for symbols that have both weak and strong references is
a bit bizarre. For non-function symbols, it will emit a weak import. For
function symbols (those referenced by BRANCH relocs), it will emit a
regular import. I'm not sure what value there is in that behavior, and
since emulating it will make our implementation more complex, I've
decided to treat regular weakrefs like function symbol ones for now.
Fixes PR48511.

ld64 emits string tables which start with a space and a zero byte. We
match its behavior here since some tools depend on it.
Similar rationale as {D89561}.

Symbols of the same type must be laid out contiguously: following ld64's
lead, we choose to emit all local symbols first, then external symbols,
and finally undefined symbols. For each symbol type, the LC_DYSYMTAB
load command will record the range (start index and total number) of
those symbols in the symbol table.
This work was motivated by the fact that LLDB won't search for debug
info if LC_DYSYMTAB says there are no local symbols (since STABS symbols
are all local symbols). With this change, LLDB is now able to display
the source lines at a given breakpoint when debugging our binaries.
Some tests had to be updated due to local symbol names now appearing in
`llvm-objdump`'s output.

Summary:
As mentioned in https://reviews.llvm.org/D81326#2093931, I'm not sure it
makes sense to use the default target triple to determine -arch.
Long-term we should probably detect it from the input object files, but
in the meantime it would be nice not to have to add it to all our tests
by using a convenient default.

Summary: After {D81326} landed, some tests started failing if they did
not have `-arch` specified. I think one of the reasons happened was due
to the fact that we were taking a reference to a temporary value that
was freed too early. Fixing that got the error to go away on my local
Linux machine.

Use the default target triple configured by the user to determine the
default architecture for `ld64.lld`. Stash the architecture in the
configuration as when linking against TBDs, we will need to filter out
the symbols based upon the architecture. Treat the Haswell slice as it
is equivalent to `x86_64` but with the extra Haswell extensions (e.g.
AVX2, FMA3, BMI1, etc). This will make it easier to add new
architectures in the future.
This change also changes the failure mode where an invalid `-arch`
parameter will result in the linker exiting without further processing.
Build the trie by performing a three-way radix quicksort: We start by
sorting the strings by their first characters, then sort the strings
with the same first characters by their second characters, and so on
recursively. Each time the prefixes diverge, we add a node to the trie.
Thanks to @ruiu for the idea.
I used llvm-mc's radix quicksort implementation as a starting point. The
trie offset fixpoint code was taken from
MachONormalizedFileBinaryWriter.cpp.

I don't think it's easy to write a test for alignment (that doesn't
involve brittly hard-coding file offsets), so there isn't one... but
UBSAN builds pass now.

Summary:
Add logic for emitting the correct set of load commands and segments
when `-dylib` is passed.
I haven't gotten to implementing a real export trie yet, so we can only
emit a single symbol, but it's enough to replace the YAML test files
introduced in D76252.
