This was originally reverted because of two issues.
1) Printing ANSI color escape codes even when outputting to
a file
2) Module name comparisons were failing when comparing a PDB
generated on one machine to a PDB generated on another
machine.
I attempted to fix#2 by adding command line options which let
you specify prefixes to strip from the beginning of embedded
paths, which effectively lets us specify a path to "base" each
PDB from and only compare the parts under the base. But this is
tricky because PDB paths always use Windows path syntax, even
when they are created on non-Windows hosts. A problem still
existed when constructing the prefix to strip, where we were
accidentally using a host-specific path separator instead of
a Windows path separator.
This resubmission fixes the issue on Linux (and I have verified
that the test now passes on Linux).

A test was checked in on Friday that worked by checking in an
object file and PDB generated locally by MSVC, and then having
the test run lld-link on the object file and diffing LLD's PDB
against the checked in PDB.
This failed because part of the diffing algorithm involves
determining if two modules are the same, and if so drilling into
the module and diffing individual fields of the module. The
only thing we can use to make this determination though is the
"name" of the module, which is a path to where the module (obj
file) was read from on the machine where it was linked. This
fails for obvious reasons when comparing a PDB generated on one
machine to a PDB on another machine.
The fix employed here is to add two command line options to the
diff subcommand, which allow the user to specify a "binary root
path". The bin root path, if specified, is stripped from the
beginning of any embedded PDB paths. The test is updated to
specify the user's local test output directory for the left
PDB, and is hardcoded to the location where the original PDB
was created for the right PDB. This way all the equivalence
comparisons should succeed.

Some platforms require an explicit specialization of std::hash
for PdbRaw_FeaturesSig. Also a test involving case sensitivity
needed to be fixed. For now that particular check just accepts
any path even if they're completely different. Long term we
should output paths in the correct case to match MSVC.

A couple of things were different about our generated PDBs.
1) We were outputting the wrong Version on the PDB Stream.
The version we were setting was newer than what MSVC is setting.
It's not clear what the implications are, but we change LLD
to use PdbImplVC70, as MSVC does.
2) For the optional debug stream indices in the DBI Stream, we
were outputting 0 to mean "the stream is not present". MSVC
outputs uint16_t(-1), which is the "correct" way to specify
that a stream is not present. So we fix that as well.
3) We were setting the PDB Stream signature to 0. This is supposed
to be the result of calling time(nullptr). Although this leads
to non-deterministic builds, a better way to solve that is by
having a command line option explicitly for generating a
reproducible build, and have the default behavior of lld-link
match the default behavior of link.
To test this, I'm making use of the new and improved `pdb diff`
sub command. To make it suitable for writing tests against, I had
to modify the diff subcommand slightly to print less verbose output.
Previously it would always print | <column> | <value1> | <value2> |
which is quite verbose, and the values are fragile. All we really
want to know is "did we produce the same value as link?" So I added
command line options to print a single character representing the
result status (different, identical, equivalent), and another to
hide the value display. Note that just inspecting the diff output
used to write the test, you can see some things that are obviously
wrong. That is just reflective of the fact that this is the state
of affairs today, not that we're asserting that this is "correct".
We can use this as a starting point to discover differences, fix
them, and update the test.

We're getting to the point that some MS tools (e.g. DIA) can recognize
our PDBs but others (e.g. link.exe) cannot. I think the way forward is
to improve our tooling to help us find differences more easily. For
example, if we can compile the same program with clang-cl and cl and
have a tool tell us all the places where the PDBs differ, this could
tell us what we're doing wrong. It's tricky though, because there are a
lot of "benign" differences in a PDB. For example, if the string table
in one PDB consists of "foo" followed by "bar" and in the other PDB it
consists of "bar" followed by "foo", this is not necessarily a critical
difference, as long as the uses of these strings also refer to the
correct location. On the other hand, if the second PDB doesn't even
contain the string "foo" at all, this is a critical difference.
diff mode has been in llvm-pdbutil for quite a while, but because of the
above challenge along with some others, it's been hard to make it
useful. I think this patch addresses that. It looks for all the same
things, but it now prints the output in tabular format (carefully
formatted and aligned into tables and fields), and it highlights
critical differences in red, non-critical differences in yellow, and
identical fields in green. This makes it easy to spot the places we
differ, and the general concept of outputting arbitrary fields in
tabular format can be extended to provide analysis into many of the
different types of information that show up in a PDB.
