This flag is the default, so in ld64 it is not implemented, but it can
be useful to negate previous -all_load arguments. Specifically if your
build system has some global linker flags, that you may want to negate
for specific links. We use something like this today to make sure some
C++ symbols are automatically discovered for all links, which passing
-all_load hides.

In ld.lld, when an ObjFile/BitcodeFile is read in --start-lib state, the file is
given archive semantics. --end-lib closes the previous --start-lib. A build
system can use this feature as an alternative to archives. This patch ports
the feature to lld-macho.
--start-lib and --end-lib are positional, unlike usual ld64 options.
I think the slight drawback does not matter as (a) reusing option names
make build systems convenient (b) `--start-lib a.o b.o --end-lib` conveys more
information than an alternative design: `-objlib a.o -objlib b.o` because
--start-lib makes it clear which objects are in the same conceptual archive.
This provides flexibility (c) `-objlib`/`-filelist` interaction may be weird.

It's still uncertain but whether we want to have `deduplicate-literals` be the
default flag for LLD out of the box or not. If `deduplicate-literals` is the default
behavior, then we will need a way override it and not deduplicate. Luckily, we
have `no_deduplicate` to fill this gap. For now, I've set the default to be false
which aligns with the existing behavior. That can only always be changed after
discussions on D117250.

References from thread-local variable sections are treated as offsets
relative to the start of the thread-local data memory area, which is
initialized via copying all the TLV data sections (which are all
contiguous). If later data sections require a greater alignment than
earlier ones, the offsets of data within those sections won't be
guaranteed to aligned unless we normalize alignments. We therefore use
the largest alignment for all TLV data sections.

For large applications that write to map files, writing map files can take quite
a bit of time. Sorting the biggest contributors to link times, writing map files
ranks in at 2nd place, with load input files being the biggest contributor of
link times. Avoiding writing map files on the critical path (and having its own
thread) saves ~2-3 seconds when linking chromium framework on a 16-Core
Intel Xeon W.

As discussed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D113809#3128636. It's a bit
unfortunate to move the asserts away from the structs whose sizes
they're checking, but it's a far better developer experience when one of
the asserts is violated, because you get a single error instead of every
single source file including the header erroring out.
The `r_address` field of `relocation_info` is only 4 bytes, so our
offset field (which is the `r_address` field adjusted for subsection
splitting) also only needs to be 4 bytes. This reduces the structure
size from 32 bytes to 24 bytes.
Combined with https://reviews.llvm.org/D113813, this is a minor perf
improvement for linking an internal app, tested on two machines:
```

We can lay out Symbol more optimally to reduce its size from 56 bytes to
48 bytes by eliminating unnecessary padding, and we can lay out Defined
such that its bitfield members are placed in the tail padding of Symbol
(on ABIs which support this), to reduce it from 96 bytes to 80 bytes (8
bytes from the Symbol reduction, and 8 bytes from the tail padding
reuse).
This is perf-neutral for an internal app (results from two different
machines):
