COMDAT_SELECT_LARGEST is a COMDAT type that make linker to choose the largest
definition from among all of the definition of a symbol. If the size is the
same, the choice is arbitrary.

The COFF spec says that the SectionNumber field in the symbol table is 16 bit
signed type, but MSVC treats the field as if it is unsigned.

LLD fails to link symbol "_main" if the symbol is in a library file and
the library file is given as a bare argument (i.e. not with /defaultlib
option). It's because library files given as bare arguments are processed
before other libraries given with /defaultlib, so when Linker finds msvcrtd
needs a definition for "_main", the file providing the main function has
already been processed and skipped. Linker don't revisit libraries if it's
not given with /defaultlib.
To fix it this patch change the way of command line handling; files end with
".lib" are treated as if they are given with /defaultlib. I don't believe
it's 100% correct behavior but it's better than before.

If the driver finds a command line option in the form of "@filename", the
option will be replaced with the content of the given file. It's an error
if a response file cannot be read.

This results in some simplifications to the code where an OwningPtr had to
be used with the previous api and then ownership moved to a unique_ptr for
the rest of lld.

An object whose machine type header value is unknown looks a bit odd but
is valid. If an object contains only machine-type-independent data, you
can leave the type field unspecified. Some files in oldname.lib are such
object files.

Clang creates "clang-cl" as a symlink to (or a copy of) "clang" for the MSVC-
compatible driver. This patch is to do the same thing for "link" and "lld".

MergeCases table should not have an entry for MergeContents because atoms with
MergeContents attribute should never have name. This issue was not caught by a
test because getting a value of 6th element of an array of array actually gets
the first element's value of the next array, and that happened to be a valid
value. Added asserts to catch that error.

Summary:
COMDAT_SELECT_SAME_SIZE is a COMDAT type that I presume exist only in COFF.
The semantics of the type is that linker should merge such COMDAT sections if
their sizes are the same. Otherwise it's an error.
