The main challenge was handling the different on-disk structures (e.g.
`mach_header` vs `mach_header_64`). I tried to strike a balance between
sprinkling `target->wordSize == 8` checks everywhere (branchy = slow, and ugly)
and templatizing everything (causes code bloat, also ugly). I think I struck a
decent balance by judicious use of type erasure.
Note that LLD-ELF has a similar architecture, though it seems to use more templating.
Linking chromium_framework takes about the same time before and after this
change:

No difference proven at 95.0% confidence

Move some functions closer to their uses. Move detailed address-assignment logic out of the otherwise abstract `Writer::run()`. This prepares the ground for a diff to implement branch range extension thunks.
* `SyntheticSections.cpp`
** move `needsBinding()` and `prepareBranchTarget()` into `Writer.cpp`
** move `addNonLazyBindingEntries()` adjacent to its use.
* `Writer.cpp`
** move address-assignment logic from `Writer::run()` into new function `Writer::assignAddresses()`
** move `needsBinding()` and `prepareBranchTarget()` from `SyntheticSections.cpp`
* `Target.h`
** remove orphaned decls of `prepareSymbolRelocation()` and `validateRelocationInfo()` which were moved to other files in earlier diffs.

We were mishandling the case where both `__tbss` and `__thread_data` sections were
present.
TLVP relocations should be encoded as offsets from the start of `__thread_data`,
even if the symbol is actually located in `__thread_bss`. Previously, we were
writing the offset from the start of the containing section, which doesn't
really make sense since there's no way `tlv_get_addr()` can know which section a
given `tlv$init` symbol is in at runtime.
In addition, this patch ensures that we place `__thread_data` immediately before
`__thread_bss`. This is what ld64 does, likely for performance reasons. Zerofill
sections must also be at the end of their segments; we were already doing this,
but now we ensure that `__thread_bss` occurs before `__bss`, so that it's always
possible to have it contiguous with `__thread_data`.
Fixes llvm.org/PR48657.

Previously, the special segments `__PAGEZERO` and `__LINKEDIT` were
implemented as special LoadCommands. This diff implements them using
special sections instead which have an `isHidden()` attribute. We do not
emit section headers for hidden sections, but we use their addresses and
file offsets to determine that of their containing segments. In addition
to allowing us to share more segment-related code, this refactor is also
important for the next step of emitting dylibs:
1) dylibs don't have segments like __PAGEZERO, so we need an easy way of
omitting them w/o messing up segment indices
2) Unlike the kernel, which is happy to run an executable with
out-of-order segments, dyld requires dylibs to have their segment
load commands arranged in increasing address order. The refactor
makes it easier to implement sorting of sections and segments.

This diff implements:
* dylib loading (much of which is being restored from @pcc and @ruiu's
original work)
* The GOT_LOAD relocation, which allows us to load non-lazy dylib
symbols
* Basic bind opcode emission, which tells `dyld` how to populate the GOT

Summary:
This is the first commit for the new Mach-O backend, designed to roughly
follow the architecture of the existing ELF and COFF backends, and
building off work that @ruiu and @pcc did in a branch a while back. Note
that this is a very stripped-down commit with the bare minimum of
functionality for ease of review. We'll be following up with more diffs
soon.
Currently, we're able to generate a simple "Hello World!" executable
that runs on OS X Catalina (and possibly on earlier OS X versions; I
haven't tested them). (This executable can be obtained by compiling
`test/MachO/relocations.s`.) We're mocking out a few load commands to
achieve this -- for example, we can't load dynamic libraries, but
Catalina requires binaries to be linked against `dyld`, so we hardcode
the emission of a `LC_LOAD_DYLIB` command. Other mocked out load
commands include LC_SYMTAB and LC_DYSYMTAB.
