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.)

The .o path always makes sure to store a power of 2 value in the
Section alignment. However, the YAML code didn't verify this.
Added verification and updated all the tests which had a 3 but meant
to have 2^3.

We'll also need references back to the CIE eventually, but for now making sure
we can work out what an FDE is referring to is enough.
The actual kind of reference needs to be different between architectures,
probably because of MachO's chronic shortage of relocation types but I don't
really want to know in case I find out something that distresses me even more.
