Summary:
This patch adds a ".comment" section to an output. The comment
section contains the linker's version string. You can now
find out whether a binary is created by LLD or not using objdump
command like this.
$ objdump -s -j .comment foo
foo: file format elf64-x86-64
Contents of section .comment:

00f0 2900 ).
Compilers emits .comment section as well, so the output contains
both compiler and linker information.
Alternative considered:
I first tried to add a SHT_NOTE section because GNU gold does that.
A NOTE section starts with a header which contains content type.
It turned out that ld.gold sets type NT_GNU_GOLD_VERSION to their
NOTE section. So the NOTE type is only for GNU gold (surprise!)
Next, I tried to create ".linker-version" section. However, it seems
that reusing the existing ".comment" section is better because 1)
other tools already know about .comment section and is able to strip
it and 2) the result contans not only linker info but also compiler
info.

As the state of lld gets more complicated, shutting down gets more
expensive.
In a normal lld run we can just call _exit immediately after renaming
the temporary output file. We still want the ability to run a full
shutdown since that is useful for detecting memory leaks.
This patch adds a --full-shutdown flag and changes lit to use it.

It is insanely hard to write a test that works both on Windows and Unix.
I tried to workaround it with cpio's minor options, but the behaviors of
the options were myterious. It just doesn't worth to spend time on it.
And probably minor options could break buildbots that doesn't have the
GNU version of cpio command.
In this patch, I simply added a separate test file that runs only on
Windows.

If we don't filter these out we can end up, generating bogus paths, for example:
/home/user/lld/build/bin -> /home/user/home/user/lld/build/bin/lld/build/bin.

When llvm-lit prints a failure, you'll see something like 'lld *command*' However, you can't then take this, paste it in to a terminal and run it, because it's not got the absolute path of lld.
llvm and clang's lit.cfg files contain lists of commands to look for which are substituted by their full paths. So now you'd see something like '*build dir*/bin/lld *command*'.
This patch adds the same capability to lld's lit.cfg

It was not using LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR and at least on my VM never finding lib.exe.
With this all the COFF tests show up as supported and pass.

It's a lot faster than bash.
Also use FileCheck instead of grep to search through a binary file.
Cygwin's grep isn't working here for unknown reasons that probably
aren't worth investigating.

loadFile could load mulitple files just because yaml has a feature for
putting multiple documents in one file.
Designing a linker around what yaml can do seems like a bad idea to
me. This patch changes it to read a single file.
There are further improvements to be done to the api and they
will follow shortly.

The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of
the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end
writing such file formats.
But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had
been slowing down everyday development.
The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you
had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from
front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to
YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data
was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in
an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes.

The existing system linkers on Darwin and Linux are called "ld". We'd like to
eventually drop in lld as "ld" and have it just work. But lld is a universal
linker that requires the first option to be -flavor to know which command line
mode to emulate (gnu or darwin).
This change tests if argv[0] is "ld" and if so, if the tool was built on MacOSX
then assume the darwin flavor otherwise the gnu flavor. There are two test
cases which copy lld to "ld" and then run it. One for darwin and one for linux.

If the environment variable is defined and not empty, RoundTrip tests
are run. The reason to move the tests behind the flag is because they
are too slow to enable by default.
LLD linking time on llvm-tblgen improved from 2m7s to 2.3s. About 60x
faster now in this case.

This is a follow-up patch for r185524. Being assert enabled does not mean
that DEBUG() is enabled, so we need to check the existence of DEBUG() itself.
