GNU ld, which doesn't generate PDBs, can optionally generate a
build id by passing the --build-id option. LLD's MinGW frontend knows
about this option but ignores it, as I had falsely assumed that LLD
already generated build IDs even in those cases.
If debug info is requested and no PDB path is set, generate a
build id signature as a hash of the binary itself. This allows
associating a binary to a minidump, even if debug info isn't
written in PDB form by the linker.

Previously, lld-link would use a random byte sequence as the PDB GUID. Instead,
use a hash of the PDB file contents.
To not disturb llvm-pdbutil pdb2yaml, the hash generation is an opt-in feature
on InfoStreamBuilder and ldb/COFF/PDB.cpp always sets it.
Since writing the PDB computes this ID which also goes in the exe, the PDB
writing code now must be called before writeBuildId(). writeBuildId() for that
reason is no longer included in the "Code Layout" timer.
Since the PDB GUID is now a function of the PDB contents, the PDB Age is always
set to 1. There was a long comment above loadExistingBuildId (now gone) about
how not changing the GUID and only incrementing the age was important, but
according to the discussion in PR35914 that comment was incorrect.

If the coff timestamp is set to a hash, like lld-link does if /Brepro is
passed, the coff spec suggests that a IMAGE_DEBUG_TYPE_REPRO entry is in the
debug directory. This lets lld-link write such a section.
Fixes PR38429, see bug for details.

I needed to revert r330223 because we were embedding an absolute PDB
path in the .rdata section, which ended up being laid out before the
.idata section and affecting its RVAs. This flag will let us control
the embedded path.

This fixes the broken tests that were causing failures. The tests
before were verifying that the time stamp was 0, but now that we
are actually writing a timestamp, I just removed the match against
the timestamp value.

Previously, our algorithm to compute a build id involved hashing the
executable and storing that as the GUID in the CV Debug Record chunk,
and setting the age to 1.
This breaks down in one very obvious case: a user adds some newlines to
a file, rebuilds, but changes nothing else. This causes new line
information and new file checksums to get written to the PDB, meaning
that the debug info is different, but the generated code would be the
same, so we would write the same build over again with an age of 1.
Anyone using a symbol cache would have a problem now, because the
debugger would open the executable, look at the age and guid, find a
matching PDB in the symbol cache and then load it. It would never copy
the new PDB to the symbol cache.
This patch implements the canonical Windows algorithm for updating
a build id, which is to check the existing executable first, and
re-use an existing GUID while bumping the age if it already
exists.

Although the GUID seems to be stable across test runs now, it seems to be
unstable across hosts. Lets be a bit more lax about the reading of the RSDS
record.

Change the way we calculate the build id to use MD5 to give reproducible build
ids. Previously we would generate random bytes for the build id GUID.

The IMAGE_FILE_HEADER structure contains a (RVA, size) to an array of
COFF_DEBUG_DIRECTORY records. Each one of these records contains an RVA to a OMF
Debug Directory. These OMF debug directories are derived into newer types such
as PDB70, PDB20, etc. This constructs a PDB70 structure which will allow us to
associate a GUID with a build to actually tie debug information.
