The parsing routines in the linker script to parse strings encoded in various
formats(hexadecimal, octal, decimal, etc), is needed by the GNU driver too. This
library provides helper functions for all flavors and flavors to add helper
functions which other flavors may make use of.

This patch does *not* implement any semantic actions, but it is a first step to
teach LLD how to read complete linker scripts. The additional linker scripts
statements whose parsing is now supported are:
* SEARCH_DIR directive
* SECTIONS directive
* Symbol definitions inside SECTIONS including PROVIDE and PROVIDE_HIDDEN
* C-like expressions used in many places in linker scripts
* Input to output sections mapping
The goal of this commit was guided towards completely parsing a default GNU ld
linker script and the linker script used to link the FreeBSD kernel. Thus, it
also adds a test case based on the default linker script used in GNU ld for
x86_64 ELF targets. I tested SPEC userland programs linked by GNU ld, using the
linker script dump'ed by this parser, and everything went fine. I then tested
linking the FreeBSD kernel with a dump'ed linker script, installed the new
kernel and booted it, everything went fine.
Directives that still need to be implemented:
* MEMORY
* PHDRS

There are two forms of `-l` prefixed expression:
* -l<libname>
* -l:<filename>
In the first case a linker should construct a full library name
`lib + libname + .[so|a]` and search this library as usual. In the second case
a linker should use the `<filename>` as is and search this file through library
search directories.

This is the parser for the ENTRY command. Note that because the parsing result
is currentlyd discarded, lld can parse but just ignore the command.
