Ed Maste dfcd846b26 Update man page for long opts that accept = after r326506
Also remove the space between --lto-O and value, as the option with a
space is not accepted at present.

Leave --opt-remarks-filename as it does not currently accept the = form.

Ed Maste 9a289f7b72 Correct man page description for --section-start
The argument is section=address, not just address.

(For compatibility with GNU linkers we need to, but do not yet, accept
--section-start=section=address.)

Ed Maste dde3a9170c Where possible use --long-opt=value in lld man page
We intend to maintain compatibility with GNU ld, and in the GNU world
long options are conventionally specified as --long-option=value. For
whatever reason GNU ld.bfd accepts both --long-option value and
--long-option=value, but documents the former. Follow suit.

Some lld long options do not accept the = form; this is probably a bug
to be fixed (along with a man page update).

Reported by Ingo Schwarze, for --entry.

Ed Maste 421fdaa121 Document --build-id=fast in ld.lld.1
Initial ld.lld.1 man page commit in r324512 crossed paths with r324502
which added --build-id=fast, allowing --build-id to be documented as a
synonym for --build-id=fast. Catch up with that change in the man page.

Ed Maste 3a775a17ca Add ld.lld.1 man page, describing lld's ELF linker
One of the FreeBSD requirements for enabling lld as the system linker is
that it has a man page. Other FreeBSD developers and I created one using
lld's --help output as a starting point.  This is an expanded and
improved version of that.

This man page would benefit from additional content, but it provides
basic user-facing coverage of lld's options and serves as a good
starting point.
