Allow disabling either the full auto import feature, or just
forbidding the cases that require runtime fixups.
As long as all auto imported variables are referenced from separate
.refptr$<name> sections, we can alias them on top of the IAT entries
and don't actually need any runtime fixups via pseudo relocations.
LLVM generates references to variables in .refptr stubs, if it
isn't known that the variable for sure is defined in the same object
module. Runtime pseudo relocs are needed if the addresses of auto
imported variables are used in constant initializers though.
Fixing up runtime pseudo relocations requires the use of
VirtualProtect (which is disallowed in WinStore/UWP apps) or
VirtualProtectFromApp. To allow any risk of ambiguity, allow
rejecting cases that would require this at the linker stage.
This adds support for the --disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc and
--disable-auto-import options in the MinGW driver (matching GNU ld.bfd)
with corresponding lld private options in the COFF driver.

Support the equals form of the long --entry=<symbol> option,
add a test for the -e<symbol> form.
Add tests for single dash forms of -exclude-all-symbols and
-export-all-symbols.
Support single-dash forms of -out-implib and -output-def, support
the equals form of --output-def=<file>. (We previously had a test
to explicitly disallow -out-implib, but it turns out that GNU ld
actually does support it just fine, despite also matching the
-o<file> option.)
Disallow the double-dashed --u form, add a test for -u<symbol>.

With GNU tools, delayload is handled completely differently. (One
creates a specific delayload import library using dlltool and then
links against it instead of the normal import library.)
Instead of requiring using -Xlink=-delayload:lib.dll, we can provide
an lld specific option for this.

This is implemented by the lld-link option -include:, just like
--require-defined. Contrary to --require-defined, the -u/--undefined
option allows the symbol to remain undefined in the end.
This should fix PR42121.

When integrating PDB output in mingw targeting build systems, it
might be a lot of extra work to specify unique file names for
the pdb output. Therefore allow omitting the actual file name
and let it implicitly be the same name as the linker output, with
a pdb extension.
As the current form of the pdb option takes a separate parameter value,
e.g. "-pdb out.pdb", it is impractical to leave out the parameter value.
Therefore, introduce a second syntax for the option, with an equals
sign, like -pdb=out.pdb, where the value easily can be omitted.
The form -pdb= for requesting pdb files with an implicit name should
work fine, even though it looks a bit unconventional in that form.

LLD already writes a build id if debug info is enabled.
Some projects set --pie-executable to avoid GNU ld bugs about stripping
base relocations from an executable when they actually are used.
Since -fixed:no is the default (and we don't support setting the
-fixed option via the MinGW frontend), we don't need to handle this.
--disable-auto-image-base is ignored just like --enable-auto-image-base
(as we ignore from before).

All of these are disabled by default in GNU ld, but enabled by default

Disable dynamicbase by default since it potentially could cause

In GNU ld, this option is enabled by default, but can be set
to reduce some warnings.
For lld, ignore the flag (for now); in case linking still succeeds
everything should be fine, if not, it should be clear to the user
what part failed (possibly requiring adjusting the user project
to not rely on this feature), instead of straight out failing due to
an unknown flag.

GNU ld manual says that multi-letter long option can be prefixed with
either -- or -. Therefore, we should accept not only --subsystem but
also -subsystem, for example.
There is one exception. If an option starts with "o", it should only be
prefixed with -- to avoid ambiguity with -o<filename> option.
