".text.split." holds symbols which are split out from functions in
other input sections. For example, with -fsplit-machine-functions,
placing the cold parts in .text.split instead of .text.unlikely mitigates
against poor profile inaccuracy. Techniques such as hugepage remapping can
make conservative decisions at the section granularity.

In lit tests, we run each LLD invocation twice (LLD_IN_TEST=2), without shutting down the process in-between. This ensures a full cleanup is properly done between runs.
Only active for the COFF driver for now. Other drivers still use LLD_IN_TEST=1 which executes just one iteration with full cleanup, like before.
When the environment variable LLD_IN_TEST is unset, a shortcut is taken, only one iteration is executed, no cleanup for faster exit, like before.
A public API, lld::safeLldMain(), is also available when using LLD as a library.

Before this patch, these two tests were emitting both a .DLL and .LIB. The output .LIB file name also happens to be an input .LIB file name. This prevented the test from executing a second time when LLD is re-entrant (LLD_IN_TEST=2).
This is a support patch for https://reviews.llvm.org/D70378.
This patch expands two LTO test cases to check other aspects.
1) weak.ll has been expanded to show that it doesn't matter whether the
first appearance of a weak symbol appears in a bitcode file or native
object - that one is picked.
2) reproduce-lto.ll has been expanded to show that the bitcode files are
stored in the reproduce package and that intermediate files (such as
the LTO-compiled object) are not.

On Unix, it is traditionally allowed to write variable definitions without
initialization expressions (such as "int foo;") to header files. These are
called tentative definitions.
The compiler creates common symbols when it sees tentative definitions. When
linking the final binary, if there are remaining common symbols after name
resolution is complete, the linker converts them to regular defined symbols in
a `__common` section.
This diff implements most of that functionality, though we do not yet handle
the case where there are both common and non-common definitions of the same
symbol.

Extending the lifetime of these type index mappings does increase memory
usage (+2% in my case), but it decouples type merging from symbol
merging. This is a pre-requisite for two changes that I have in mind:
- parallel type merging: speeds up slow type merging
- defered symbol merging: avoid heap allocating (relocating) all symbols
This eliminates CVIndexMap and moves its data into TpiSource. The maps
are also split into a SmallVector and ArrayRef component, so that the
ipiMap can alias the tpiMap for /Z7 object files, and so that both maps
can simply alias the PDB type server maps for /Zi files.
Splitting TypeServerSource establishes that all input types to be merged
can be identified with two 32-bit indices:
- The index of the TpiSource object
- The type index of the record
This is useful, because this information can be stored in a single
64-bit atomic word to enable concurrent hashtable insertion.
One last change is that now all object files with debugChunks get a
TpiSource, even if they have no type info. This avoids some null checks
and special cases.

Bitcode writer does not flush buffer until the end by default. This is
fine to small bitcode files. When -flto,--plugin-opt=emit-llvm,-gmlt are
used, the final bitcode file is large, for example, >8G. Keeping all
data in memory consumes a lot of memory.
This change allows bitcode writer flush data to disk early when buffered
data size is above some threshold. This is only enabled when lld emits
LLVM bitcode.
One issue to address is backpatching bitcode: subblock length, function
body indexes, meta data indexes need to backfill. If buffer can be
flushed partially, we introduced raw_fd_stream that supports
read/seek/write, and enables backpatching bitcode flushed in disk.

I have noticed that a 374MiB powerpc64le 'ld.lld' requires 11 passes to link.
There is a ThunkSection (whose parent OutputSection is ".text" of 169MiB) with 12867 thunks.
Optimize the filename glob pattern matching in
LinkerScript::computeInputSections() and LinkerScript::shouldKeep().
Add InputFile::getNameForScript() which gets and if required caches the
Inputfile's name used for linker script matching. This avoids the
overhead of name creation that was in getFilename() in LinkerScript.cpp.
Add InputSectionDescription::matchesFile() and
SectionPattern::excludesFile() which perform the glob pattern matching
for an InputFile and make use of a cache of the previous result. As both
computeInputSections() and shouldKeep() process sections in order and
the sections of the same InputFile are contiguous, these single entry
caches can significantly speed up performance for more complex glob
patterns.
These changes have been seen to reduce link time with --gc-sections by
up to ~40% with linker scripts that contain KEEP filename glob patterns
such as "*crtbegin*.o".
