Introduce an extension to support passing linker options to the linker.
These would be ignored by older linkers, but newer linkers which support
this feature would be able to process the linker.
Emit a special discarded section `.linker-option`. The content of this
section is a pair of strings (key, value). The key is a type identifier for
the parameter. This allows for an argument free parameter that will be
processed by the linker with the value being the parameter. As an example,
`lib` identifies a library to be linked against, traditionally the `-l`
argument for Unix-based linkers with the parameter being the library name.
Thanks to James Henderson, Cary Coutant, Rafael Espinolda, Sean Silva
for the valuable discussion on the design of this feature.

The Android relocation packing format is a more compact
format for dynamic relocations in executables and DSOs
that is based on delta encoding and SLEBs. An overview
of the format can be found in the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/tools/relocation_packer/src/delta_encoder.h
This patch implements relocation packing using that format.
This implementation uses a more intelligent algorithm for compressing
relative relocations than Android's own relocation packer. As a
result it can generally create smaller relocation sections than
that packer. If I link Chromium for Android targeting ARM32 I get a
.rel.dyn of size 174693 bytes, as compared to 371832 bytes with gold
and the Android packer.

This is in preparation for testing lld's upcoming relocation packing
feature (D39152). I have verified that this implementation correctly
unpacks the relocations from a Chromium DSO built with gold and the
Android relocation packer for ARM32 and ARM64.

This creates a new library called BinaryFormat that has all of
the headers from llvm/Support containing structure and layout
definitions for various types of binary formats like dwarf, coff,
elf, etc as well as the code for identifying a file from its
magic.

This is motivated by https://reviews.llvm.org/D32488 where I am trying
to add printing of the section type for incompatible sections to LLD
error messages. This patch allows us to use the same code in
llvm-readobj and LLD instead of duplicating the function inside LLD.

Add the necessary definitions for RISC-V ELF files, including relocs. Also
make necessary trivial change to ELFYaml, llvm-objdump, and llvm-readobj in
order to work with RISC-V ELFs.

The same value for EM_BPF is being propagated to glibc,
elfutils, and binutils.

A request has been made to the official registry, but an official value is
not yet available. This patch uses a temporary value in order to support
development. When an official value is recieved, the value of EM_WEBASSEMBLY
will be updated.

We can now use the ELF relocation .def files to create the mapping
of relocation numbers to names and avoid having to duplicate the
list of relocations.

This adds initial support for PPC32 ELF PIC (Position Independent Code; the
-fPIC variety), thus rectifying a long-standing deficiency in the PowerPC
backend.

* ELFTypes.h contains template magic for defining types based on endianess, size, and alignment.
* ELFFile.h defines the ELFFile class which provides low level ELF specific access.
* ELFObjectFile.h contains ELFObjectFile which uses ELFFile to implement the ObjectFile interface.
