This was useful for LTO bringup in lld-link while lld couldn't write PDBs. Now
that it can, this should no longer be needed. Hopefully the flag is obscure

they should be able to just stop passing it and things should continue to work.

This patch changes relative path for source files in obj files to
absolute path in PDB when linking with added flag.
I will make obj file generated by clang-cl independent from build
directory for chromium build. But I don't want to confuse visual studio
debugger or require additional configuration. To attain this goal, I
added flag to convert relative source file path in obj to absolute path
when emitting PDB.
By removing absolute path from obj files, we can share build cache
between chromium developers even when they are doing debug build.
That will make build time faster.

Previously we would always write a hash of the binary into the
PE file, for reproducible builds. This breaks AppCompat, which
is a feature of Windows that relies on the timestamp in the PE
header being set to a real value (or at the very least, a value
that satisfies certain properties).
To address this, we put the old behavior of writing the hash
behind the /Brepro flag, which mimics MSVC linker behavior. We
also match MSVC default behavior, which is to write an actual
timestamp to the PE header. Finally, we add the /TIMESTAMP
option (an lld extension) so that the user can specify the exact
value to be used in case he/she manually constructs a value which
is both reproducible and satisfies AppCompat.

With MSVC linker, /DEBUG is an alias of /DEBUG:FASTLINK, and if
you don't want /DEBUG:FASTLINK you have to explicitly specify
/DEBUG:FULL.
LLD doesn't support /DEBUG:FASTLINK, and so our standard /DEBUG
option is what MSVC calls /DEBUG:FULL. To provide command line
compatibility with MSVC, we should also support /DEBUG:FULL, and
since it's the same as what LLD already does for /DEBUG, just
alias it.

This was reverted several times due to what ultimately turned out

Natvis is a debug language supported by Visual Studio for
specifying custom visualizers. The /NATVIS option is an
undocumented link.exe flag which will take a .natvis file
and "inject" it into the PDB. This way, you can ship the
debug visualizers for a program along with the PDB, which
is very useful for postmortem debugging.
This is implemented by adding a new "named stream" to the
PDB with a special name of /src/files/<natvis file name>
and simply copying the contents of the xml into this file.
Additionally, we need to emit a single stream named
/src/headerblock which contains a hash table of embedded
files to records describing them.
This patch adds this functionality, including the /NATVIS
option to lld-link.

GNU ld has got a number of different flags for adjusting how to
behave around stdcall functions. The --kill-at flag strips the
trailing sdcall suffix from exported functions (which otherwise
is included by default in MinGW setups).
This also strips it from the corresponding import library though.
That makes it hard to link to such an import library from code
that calls the functions - but this matches what GNU ld does with
this flag. Therefore, this flag is probably not sensibly used
together with import libraries, but probably mostly when creating
some sort of plugin, or if creating the import library separately
with dlltool.

Summary:
This patch adds some initial support for Windows control flow guard. At
the end of the day, the linker needs to synthesize a table of RVAs very
similar to the structured exception handler table (/safeseh).
Both /safeseh and /guard:cf take sections of symbol table indices
(.sxdata and .gfids$y) and turn them into RVA tables referenced by the
load config struct in the CRT through special symbols.

Summary:
lld-link accepts link.exe's /ignore option, but used to ignore
it. This can lead to semantic differences when warnings are treated as
fatal errors. One such case is when we resolve an __imp_ symbol to a
local definition. We emit a warning in that case, which /wx turns into
a fatal. This change makes lld-link accept /ignore:4217 to suppress
that warning, so that code that links with link.exe /wx /ignore:4217
links with lld-link, too.

/debug and /debug:dwarf are orthogonal. An object file can contain both
CodeView and DWARF debug info, so the combination of /debug:dwarf and
/debug should generate both DWARF and a PDB, rather than /debug:dwarf
always suppressing PDB creation.
/nopdb is now redundant and can be removed. /debug /nopdb was previously
used to support DWARF, but specifying /debug:dwarf is entirely

LLD's handling of boolean flags is suboptimal:
* All boolean flags have a corresponding `:no` flag to turn the flag
off, and the linker should scan for both the non-suffixed and suffixed
flags (and the last one should win), but right now it only scans for
either the suffixed or non-suffixed flag (depending on the default
flag value).
* The `B` multiclass only allows specifying help text for the suffixed
(`:no`) flag, but for some flags (e.g. `/appcontainer`) the help text
should be associated with the non-suffixed flag instead.
Extend the `B` multiclass to have help text for both non-suffixed and
suffixed flag variants, and alter the existing help text accordingly in
some cases. Scan for both the non-suffixed and suffixed variants in the
driver and set config values accordingly.
This should mostly have no behavior change, apart from the added help
text and the modified argument scanning. Some flags are handled slightly
differently now, however; for example, LLD would previously always treat
64-bit images as large address aware, whereas `/largeaddressaware:no` is
now respected for 64-bit images (which is also how link.exe behaves).

Manifest file is a separate or embedded XML file having metadata
of an executable. As it is XML, it can contain various types of
information. Probably the most popular one is to request escalated
priviledges.
Usually the linker creates an XML file and embed that file into
an executable. However, there's a way to supply an XML file from
command line. /manifestniput is it.
Apparently it is over-designed here, but if you supply two or more
manifest files, then the linker needs to merge the files into a
single XML file. A good news is that we don't need to do that ourselves.
MT.exe command can do that, so we call the command from the linker
in this patch.

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.
