We currently use target_link_libraries without an explicit scope
specifier (INTERFACE, PRIVATE or PUBLIC) when linking executables.
Dependencies added in this way apply to both the target and its
dependencies, i.e. they become part of the executable's link interface
and are transitive.
Transitive dependencies generally don't make sense for executables,
since you wouldn't normally be linking against an executable. This also
causes issues for generating install export files when using
LLVM_DISTRIBUTION_COMPONENTS. For example, clang has a lot of LLVM
library dependencies, which are currently added as interface
dependencies. If clang is in the distribution components but the LLVM
libraries it depends on aren't (which is a perfectly legitimate use case
if the LLVM libraries are being built static and there are therefore no
run-time dependencies on them), CMake will complain about the LLVM
libraries not being in export set when attempting to generate the
install export file for clang. This is reasonable behavior on CMake's
part, and the right thing is for LLVM's build system to explicitly use
PRIVATE dependencies for executables.
Unfortunately, CMake doesn't allow you to mix and match the keyword and
non-keyword target_link_libraries signatures for a single target; i.e.,
if a single call to target_link_libraries for a particular target uses
one of the INTERFACE, PRIVATE, or PUBLIC keywords, all other calls must
also be updated to use those keywords. This means we must do this change
in a single shot. I also fully expect to have missed some instances; I
tested by enabling all the projects in the monorepo (except dragonegg),
and configuring both with and without shared libraries, on both Darwin
and Linux, but I'm planning to rely on the buildbots for other
configurations (since it should be pretty easy to fix those).
Even after this change, we still have a lot of target_link_libraries
calls that don't specify a scope keyword, mostly for shared libraries.
I'm thinking about addressing those in a follow-up, but that's a
separate change IMO.

UniversalDriver was used as a dispatcher to each platform-specific driver.
It had its own Options.td file. It was not just too much to parse only a
few options (we only want to parse -core, -flavor or argv[0]),
but also interpreted arguments too early. For example, if you invoke lld as
"lld -flavor gnu ... -help", then you'd get the UniversalDriver's help
message instead of GnuDriver's. This patch eliminates the use of Options
from the dispatcher.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.

These changes depended on r225674 and had been rolled back in r225859.
Because r225674 has been re-submitted, it's safe to re-submit them.

r225764 broke a basic functionality on Mac OS. This change reverts
r225764, r225766, r225767, r225769, r225814, r225816, r225829, and r225832.

getNextFile used to have a complex logic to determine which file
should be processed by the Resolver on next iteration.
Now, it is just a sequential accessor to the internal array and
provides no sensible feature.
This patch also removes InputGraph::getGroupSize and InputGraph::
skipGroup to simplify the code.
