This is the first step in how I plan to get mach-o object files support into
lld. We need to be able to test the mach-o Reader and Write on systems without
a mach-o tools. Therefore, we want to support a textual way (YAML) to represent
mach-o files.
MachONormalizedFile.h defines an in-memory abstraction of the content of mach-o
files. The in-memory data structures are always native endianess and always
use 64-bit sizes. That internal data structure can then be converted to or
from three different formats: 1) yaml (text) encoded mach-o, 2) binary mach-o
files, 3) lld Atoms.
This patch defines the internal model and uses YAML I/O to implement the
conversion to and from the model to yaml. The next patch will implement
the conversion from normalized to binary mach-o.
This patch includes unit tests to validate the yaml conversion APIs.
