This diff adds support for weak definitions, though it doesn't handle weak
symbols in dylibs quite correctly -- we need to emit binding opcodes for them
in the weak binding section rather than the lazy binding section.
What *is* covered in this diff:
1. Reading the weak flag from symbol table / export trie, and writing it to the
export trie
2. Refining the symbol table's rules for choosing one symbol definition over
another. Wrote a few dozen test cases to make sure we were matching ld64's
behavior.
We can now link basic C++ programs.

Previously, we only supported binding dysyms to the GOT. This
diff adds support for binding them to any arbitrary section. C++
programs appear to use this, I believe for vtables and type_info.
This diff also makes our bind opcode encoding a bit smarter -- we now
encode just the differences between bindings, which will make things
more compact.
I was initially concerned about the performance overhead of iterating
over these relocations, but it turns out that the number of such
relocations is small. A quick analysis of my llvm-project build
directory showed that < 1.3% out of ~7M relocations are RELOC_UNSIGNED
bindings to symbols (including both dynamic and static symbols).

Summary:
Turns out this case is actually really common -- it happens whenever there's
a reference to an `extern` variable that ends up statically linked.
Depends on D80856.

Summary:
As far as I can tell, it's identical to _GOT_LOAD. llvm-mc has the following
comment explaining why _GOT exists:
```
// x86_64 distinguishes movq foo@GOTPCREL so that the linker can
// rewrite the movq to an leaq at link time if the symbol ends up in
// the same linkage unit.
```

Summary:
We should be reading / writing our addends / relocated addresses based on
r_length, and not just based on the type of the relocation. But since only
some r_length values are valid for a given reloc type, I've also added some
validation.
ld64 has code to allow for r_length = 0 in X86_64_RELOC_BRANCH relocs, but I'm
not sure how to create such a relocation...

I considered making a `Target::validate()` method, but I wasn't sure how
I felt about the overhead of doing yet another switch-dispatch on the
relocation type, so I put the validation in `relocateOne` instead...
might be a bit of a micro-optimization, but `relocateOne` does assume
certain things about the relocations it gets, and this error handling
makes that explicit, so it's not a totally unreasonable code
organization.

Summary:
This diff implements lazy symbol binding -- very similar to the PLT
mechanism in ELF.
ELF's .plt section is broken up into two sections in Mach-O:
StubsSection and StubHelperSection. Calls to functions in dylibs will
end up calling into StubsSection, which contains indirect jumps to
addresses stored in the LazyPointerSection (the counterpart to ELF's
.plt.got).
Initially, the LazyPointerSection contains addresses that point into one
of the entry points in the middle of the StubHelperSection. The code in
StubHelperSection will push on the stack an offset into the
LazyBindingSection. The push is followed by a jump to the beginning of
the StubHelperSection (similar to PLT0), which then calls into
dyld_stub_binder. dyld_stub_binder is a non-lazily bound symbol, so this
call looks it up in the GOT.
The stub binder will look up the bind opcodes in the LazyBindingSection
at the given offset. The bind opcodes will tell the binder to update the
address in the LazyPointerSection to point to the symbol, so that
subsequent calls don't have to redo the symbol resolution. The binder
will then jump to the resolved symbol.
Depends on D78269.

We currently only support extern relocations.
`X86_64_RELOC_SIGNED_{1,2,4}` are like X86_64_RELOC_SIGNED, but with the
implicit addend fixed to 1, 2, and 4, respectively.
See the comment in `lib/Target/X86/MCTargetDesc/X86MachObjectWriter.cpp RecordX86_64Relocation`.

This diff implements:
* dylib loading (much of which is being restored from @pcc and @ruiu's
original work)
* The GOT_LOAD relocation, which allows us to load non-lazy dylib
symbols
* Basic bind opcode emission, which tells `dyld` how to populate the GOT
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D76252
Summary:
This is the first commit for the new Mach-O backend, designed to roughly
follow the architecture of the existing ELF and COFF backends, and
building off work that @ruiu and @pcc did in a branch a while back. Note
that this is a very stripped-down commit with the bare minimum of
functionality for ease of review. We'll be following up with more diffs
soon.
Currently, we're able to generate a simple "Hello World!" executable
that runs on OS X Catalina (and possibly on earlier OS X versions; I
haven't tested them). (This executable can be obtained by compiling
`test/MachO/relocations.s`.) We're mocking out a few load commands to
achieve this -- for example, we can't load dynamic libraries, but
Catalina requires binaries to be linked against `dyld`, so we hardcode
the emission of a `LC_LOAD_DYLIB` command. Other mocked out load
commands include LC_SYMTAB and LC_DYSYMTAB.
