Latest GNU nm (milestone: 2.39) has added -W/--no-weak and changed -U to mean
--defined-only (instead of --unicode=). The changes match our semantics.

Summary:
the patch implement of following functionality.
1. export the symbols from archive or object files.
2. sort the export symbols. (based on same symbol name and visibility)
3. delete the duplicate export symbols (based on same symbol name and visibility)
4. print out the unique and sorted export symbols (print the symbol name and visibility).
there are two new options are add in the patch
1. --export-symbols (enable the functionality of export unique symbol)
2. --no-rsrc (exclude the symbol name begin with "__rsrc" from be exporting from xcoff object file)
Export symbol list for xcoff object file has the same functionality as

Summary:
Added a new option "-X" to specify, which type of object file should be examine.
For example:
1. "llvm-nm -X64 archive.a" only deal with the 64bit object files in the archive.a ,ignore the all 32bit object files in the archive.a
2. "llvm-nm -X32 xcoffobj32.o xcoffobj64.o " only deal with the 32bit object file "xcoffobj32.o" , 64bit object file "xcoffobj64.o" will be ignored

The documentation and help messages have recommended the double-dash forms for
quite a while. Remove one-dash long options which are not recognized by GNU
style `getopt_long`.
`-arch` is kept as it is in the manpage of classic nm

Note: the dyldinfo related options don't have a test.

"Binary utilities: switch command line parsing from llvm::cl to OptTable"
Users should generally observe no difference as long as they only use intended
option forms. Behavior changes:
* `-t=d` is removed. Use `-t d` instead.
* `--demangle=0` cannot be used. Omit the option or use `--no-demangle` instead.
* `--help-list` is removed. This is a `cl::` specific option.
Note:
* `-t` diagnostic gets improved.
* This patch avoids cl::opt collision if we decide to support multiplexing for binary utilities
* One-dash long options are still supported.
* The `-s` collision (`-s segment section` for Mach-O) is unfortunate. `-s` means `--print-armap` in GNU nm.
* This patch removes the last `cl::multi_val` use case from the `llvm/lib/Support/CommandLine.cpp` library
`-M` (`--print-armap`), `-U` (`--defined-only`), and `-W` (`--no-weak`)
are now deprecated. They could conflict with future GNU nm options.
(--print-armap has an existing alias -s, so GNU will unlikely add a new one.
--no-weak (not in GNU nm) is rarely used anyway.)
`--just-symbol-name` is now deprecated in favor of
`--format=just-symbols` and `-j`.
