Lnt is both a server and a set of script for benchmarking llvm.
I don't think it makes sense to use the scripts for lld since our
benchmarks are quite different.
The server on the other hand is very general and seems to work well
for tracking any quantities.
This patch adds a script to lld that can be used to run various
benchmarks and send the result to lnt.
The benchmarks are assumed to each be a response file in a
subdirectory. Each subdirectory can contain multiple response
files. That can be used to have a plain response.txt and a
response-icf.txt for example. The name of each benchmark is the
combination of the directory name and the "flavor": firefox-gc,
chromium-icf, etc.
For the first version the script uses perf and collects all the
metrics that a plain "perf stat" prints.
This script can then be used by a developer to test a patch or by a
bot to keep track of lld's performance.

The canonical LLVM directory arrangement places binaries in the 'utils/'
tree when they are used as part of building the project. For example,
the tblgen binaries are built out of 'utils/' trees.
Tools which are not used by any other part of the build, including
testing utilities, are just in the 'tools' directory. For example, in
Clang we have 'c-index-test' which is exactly the same kind of thing as
'linker-script-test'.

Currently, no one owns script::Parser buffers, but yet ELFLinkingContext gets
updated with StringRef pointers to data inside Parser buffers. Since this buffer
is locally owned inside GnuLdDriver::evalLinkerScript(), as soon as this
function finishes, all pointers in ELFLinkingContext that comes from linker
scripts get invalid. The problem is that we need someone to own linker scripts
data structures and, since ELFLinkingContext transports references to linker
scripts data, we can simply make it also own all linker scripts data.

The parsing routines in the linker script to parse strings encoded in various
formats(hexadecimal, octal, decimal, etc), is needed by the GNU driver too. This
library provides helper functions for all flavors and flavors to add helper
functions which other flavors may make use of.

This provides support for the autoconfing & make build style.
The format, style and implementation follows that used within the llvm and clang projects.
TODO: implement out-of-source documentation builds.

This results in some simplifications to the code where an OwningPtr had to
be used with the previous api and then ownership moved to a unique_ptr for
the rest of lld.
