The new Darwin backend for LLD is now able to link reasonably large
real-world programs on x86_64. For instance, we have achieved
self-hosting for the X86_64 target, where all LLD tests pass when
building lld with itself on macOS. As such, we would like to make it the
default back-end.
The new port is now named `ld64.lld`, and the old port remains
accessible as `ld64.lld.darwinold`
This [annoucement email][1] has some context. (But note that, unlike
what the email says, we are no longer doing this as part of the LLVM 12
branch cut -- instead we will go into LLVM 13.)
Numerous mechanical test changes were required to make this change; in
the interest of creating something that's reviewable on Phabricator,
I've split out the boring changes into a separate diff (D95905). I plan to
merge its contents with those in this diff before landing.
(@gkm made the original draft of this diff, and he has agreed to let me
take over.)

Summary:
The issue with the python path is that the path to python on Windows can contain spaces. To make the tests always work, the path to python needs to be surrounded by quotes.

This option is added by Xcode when it runs the linker. It produces a binary
file which contains the file the linker used. Xcode uses the info to
dynamically update it dependency tracking.
To check the content of the binary file, the test case uses a python script
to dump the binary file as text which FileCheck can check.
