Previously we applied the LayoutPass to order atoms and then
apply elf::ArrayOrderPass to sort them again. The first pass is
basically supposed to sort atoms in the normal fashion (which
is to sort symbols in the same order as the input files).
The second pass sorts atoms in {init,fini}_array.<priority> by
priority.
The problem is that the LayoutPass is overkill. It analyzes
references between atoms to make a decision how to sort them.
It's slow, hard to understand, and above all, it doesn't seem
that we need its feature for ELF in the first place.
This patch remove the LayoutPass from ELF pass list. Now all
reordering is done in elf::OrderPass. That pass sorts atoms by
{init,fini}_array, and if they are not in the special section,
they are ordered as the same order as they appear in the command
line. The new code is far easier to understand, faster, and
still able to create valid executables.
Unlike the previous layout pass, elf::OrderPass doesn't count
any attributes of an atom (e.g. permissions) except its
position. It's OK because the writer takes care of them if we
have to.
This patch changes the order of final output, although that's
benign. Tests are updated.

Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive

This adds an option --output-filetype that can be set to either
YAML/Native(case insensitive). The linker would create the outputs
associated with the type specified by the user.
Changes all the tests to use the new option.

We need to order atoms that exist in the same chain. This is to make sure that
the command line order is preserved when we emit the atoms to the output file.
Credits: BigCheese for finding the bug.
Adds a test which otherwise would fail.

be laid out by their ordinal overrides first, there was a bug that two atoms may
get the same override index due to which atoms were not ordered properly. This
commit fixes the problem.
Now the atoms are ordered by
- Section Position hints
- Atom override (Using layout-after/layout-before/in-group)
- Content Permissions
- Content Type
- File Ordinal
This also fixes the problem of running c++ static executables that
was broken by an earlier patch.

only if they are relative. This removes the FIXME when the
relocations are being emitted and checks if the relocation
is relative and only then populates the addend information.
I couldnt add a testcase for this as llvm-readobj lacks
functionality of printing dynamic relocations.
When the functionality is added, remove the commented lines
from elf/ifunc.test to test functionality.

Layoutpass by ordering atoms if they appear in the override
list first and then looking at the way of ordering atoms in
the default way.
The fix also fixes issues with the sizes of the sections,
that appear in the output properly too.
The commit also adds a testcase(orderatoms-by-override.test)
to test it and fixes all the other relevant testcases.

The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.

In an previous commit I managed to completely disable the IRELATIVE relocation
writing code. I also used the wrong addend for the static relocation. Fix both
these issues and add a test. This test is quite brittle because there's no way
to do arithmetic on variables in FileCheck.
