Generate import modules for each imported DLL, along with its symbol stream.
Also create COFF groups in the * Linker * module, one for each PartialSection (input, unmerged sections)
Currently COFF groups are disabled for MINGW because it significantly increases PDB sizes. We could enable that later with an option.
The overall objective for this change is to support code hot patching tools. Such tools need to know the import libraries used, from the PDB alone.

In this reland I removed an unnecessary use of /debug in the test
delayimports32.test and used the /pdbaltpath flag in the test
pdb-publics-import.test, both of which avoid embedding absolute PDB
paths in executables which could affect later RVAs.

In the refactor to merge the publics and globals stream, a bug
was introduced that wrote the wrong value for one of the fields
of the PublicsStreamHeader. This caused debugging in WinDbg
to break.
We had no way of dumping any of these fields, so in addition to
fixing the bug I've added dumping support for them along with a
test that verifies the correct value is written.

Summary:
PDB section contributions are supposed to use output section indices and
offsets, not input section indices and offsets.
This allows the debugger to look up the index of the module that it
should look up in the modules stream for symbol information. With this
change, windbg can now find line tables, but it still cannot print local
variables.

Summary:
MSVC link.exe records all external symbol names in the publics stream.
It provides similar functionality to an ELF .symtab.
