This is an NFC diff that prepares for pruning & relocating `__eh_frame`.
Along the way, I made the following changes to ...
* clarify usage of `section` vs. `subsection`
* remove `map` & `vec` from type names
* disambiguate class `Section` from template parameter `SectionHeader`.

The previous logic was duplicated between symbol-initiated
archive loads versus flag-initiated loads (i.e. `-force_load` and
`-ObjC`). This resulted in code duplication as well as redundant work --
we would create Archive instances twice whenever we had one of those
flags; once in `getArchiveMembers` and again when we constructed the
ArchiveFile.
This was motivated by an upcoming diff where we load archive members
containing ObjC-related symbols before loading those containing
ObjC-related sections, as well as before performing symbol resolution.
Without this refactor, it would be difficult to do that while avoiding
loading the same archive member twice.

@thakis pointed out that `mach_header` and `mach_header_64`
actually have the same set of (used) fields, with the 64-bit version
having extra padding. So we can access the fields we need using the
single `mach_header` type instead of using templates to switch between
the two.
I also spotted a potential issue where hasObjCSection tries to parse a
file w/o checking if it does indeed match the target arch... As such,
I've added a quick magic number check to ensure we don't access invalid
memory during `findCommand()`.
Addresses PR50180.

As preparation for a subsequent diff that implements builtin section renaming, define more `constexpr` strings in namespaces `lld::macho::segment_names` and `lld::macho::section_names`, and use them to replace string literals.

The main challenge was handling the different on-disk structures (e.g.
`mach_header` vs `mach_header_64`). I tried to strike a balance between
sprinkling `target->wordSize == 8` checks everywhere (branchy = slow, and ugly)
and templatizing everything (causes code bloat, also ugly). I think I struck a
decent balance by judicious use of type erasure.
Note that LLD-ELF has a similar architecture, though it seems to use more templating.
Linking chromium_framework takes about the same time before and after this
change:

No difference proven at 95.0% confidence
