This patch writes the full -cc1 command into the resulting .OBJ, like MSVC does. This allows for external tools (Recode, Live++) to rebuild a source file without any external dependency but the .OBJ itself (other than the compiler) and without knowledge of the build system.
The LF_BUILDINFO record stores a full path to the compiler, the PWD (CWD at program startup), a relative or absolute path to the source, and the full CC1 command line. The stored command line is self-standing (does not depend on the environment). In the same way, MSVC doesn't exactly store the provided command-line, but an expanded version (a somehow equivalent of CC1) which is also self-standing.
For more information see PR36198 and D43002.

This flag is the default, so in ld64 it is not implemented, but it can
be useful to negate previous -all_load arguments. Specifically if your
build system has some global linker flags, that you may want to negate
for specific links. We use something like this today to make sure some
C++ symbols are automatically discovered for all links, which passing
-all_load hides.

Fix a regression after aabe901d57 (`[ELF] Remove
one redundant computeBinding`): isLocal() does not indicate that the symbol is
originally local. For simplicity, just drop this optimization.
In ld.lld, when an ObjFile/BitcodeFile is read in --start-lib state, the file is
given archive semantics. --end-lib closes the previous --start-lib. A build
system can use this feature as an alternative to archives. This patch ports
the feature to lld-macho.
--start-lib and --end-lib are positional, unlike usual ld64 options.
I think the slight drawback does not matter as (a) reusing option names
make build systems convenient (b) `--start-lib a.o b.o --end-lib` conveys more
information than an alternative design: `-objlib a.o -objlib b.o` because
--start-lib makes it clear which objects are in the same conceptual archive.
This provides flexibility (c) `-objlib`/`-filelist` interaction may be weird.

When an archive with an empty index contains only bitcode files, it is
handled as a group of lazy (--start-lib) object files. If there is a
non-bitcode file, there will be a diagnostic a la GNU ld.
For some programs, the archive member extraction ratio is high (e.g. for chrome,
79% archive members are extracted according to --print-archive-stats=). Because
symbol interning is cached for ObjFile::parseLazy but not for ArchiveFile,
parsing an archive as a group of --start-lib object files may be faster.
If the linker speculatively creates section representations for archive members,
the archive index will not be used.
If we take the above view, the archive index is essentially useless. If a user
wants a fast build without using --start-lib, they may just build thin archives
without index (`ar rcS --thin`).
Therefore, I suggest that we no longer treat the code as a hack, instead as a
supported feature. I believe we will do this anyway if we add parallel symbol
interning (parallel symbol interning for lazy object files is simpler than that
for archives).
Ecosystem issues:
* parseLazy actually has nearly the same behavior as ArchiveFile::parse, but the symbol order may be different.
* users may get addicted to the behavior and build archives not working with GNU ld and gold. I think it is easy to rebuild archives to be compatible.

This simplifies the code a bit. While here,
* change the `multiple relocation sections` diagnostic from `fatal` to `error` and include the relocated section name.
* drop less useful name from `getRelocTarget`. Without -r/--emit-relocs we don't need to get SHT_REL/SHT_RELA names.
It's still uncertain but whether we want to have `deduplicate-literals` be the
default flag for LLD out of the box or not. If `deduplicate-literals` is the default
behavior, then we will need a way override it and not deduplicate. Luckily, we
have `no_deduplicate` to fill this gap. For now, I've set the default to be false
which aligns with the existing behavior. That can only always be changed after

However, the buffer is created before the file is renamed and is given the temp

support for these.
This implements the group processing as documented in the ELF psABI. Notably,
this means support is dropped for very far symbol references that also carry a
small component, where the immediate is rotated in such a way that only part of
it wraps to the other end of the 32-bit word. To me, it seems unlikely that
this is something anyone could be relying on, but of course I could be wrong.

This allows --power10-stubs= and --[no-]power10-stubs to override each other
(they are position dependent in GNU ld).
Also improve --help messages and the manpage.
Note: GNU ld's default "auto" mode uses heuristics to decide whether Power10
instructions are used. Arguably it is a design mistake of R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC
(acked by the relevant folks on a libc-alpha discussion). We don't implement
"auto", so the default --power10-stubs is the same as "yes".
The canonical term is "extract" (GNU ld documentation, Solaris's `-z *extract`
options). Avoid inventing a term and match --why-extract. (ld64 prefers "load"
but the word is overloaded too much)
Mostly MFC, except for --help messages and the header row in
--print-archive-stats output.
