This matches the output of binutils' nm and ensures that any scripts
or tools that use nm and expect empty output in case there no symbols
don't break.

Summary:
GNU nm (and other nm implementations, such as "go tool nm") prints an explicit "no symbols" message when an object file has no symbols. Currently llvm-nm just doesn't print anything. Adding an explicit "no symbols" message will allow llvm-nm to be used in place of nm: some scripts and build processes use `nm <file> | grep "no symbols"` as a test to see if a file has no symbols. It will also be more familiar to anyone used to nm.
That said, the format implemented here is slightly different, in that it doesn't print the tool name in the message (which IMHO is not useful to include).
Demo:
```
$ for nm in nm bin/llvm-nm ; do echo "nm implementation: $nm"; $nm /tmp/foo{1,2}.o; echo; done
nm implementation: nm
/tmp/foo1.o:
nm: /tmp/foo1.o: no symbols
/tmp/foo2.o:
0000000000000000 T foo2
nm implementation: bin/llvm-nm
/tmp/foo1.o:
no symbols
/tmp/foo2.o:
0000000000000000 T foo2
```

Summary:
1. Use stream 0 only for combined module. Previously if combined module was not
processes ThinLTO used the stream for own output. However small changes in input,
could trigger combined module and shuffle outputs making life of llvm::LTO harder.
2. Always process combined module and write output to stream 0. Processing empty
combined module is cheap and allows llvm::LTO users to avoid implementing processing
which is already done in llvm::LTO.
