Unresolved symbols are not currently reported when building with
`-shared` or `-pie` so setting unresolvedSymbols doesn't have any
effect.

Its defaulting logic must go after `project(..)` to work correctly, but `project(..)` is often in a standalone condition making this
awkward, since the rest of the condition code may also need GNUInstallDirs.
The good thing is there are the various standalone booleans, which I had missed before. This makes splitting the conditional blocks less awkward.

StringRefZ does not improve performance. Non-local symbols always have eagerly
computed nameSize. Most local symbols's lengths will be updated in either:
* shouldKeepInSymtab
* SymbolTableBaseSection::addSymbol
Its benefit is offsetted by strlen in every call site (sums up to 5KiB code in a
release x86-64 build), so using StringRefZ may be slower.
In a -s link (uncommon) there is minor speedup, like ~0.3% for clang and chrome.

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.

If you're building this on macOS 12.x+ this produces a deprecation
warning. I'm not sure what this means for the bitcode format going
forward, but it seems safe to silence for now.
Do we need to worry about GCC for this?

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.

D46245 added support for this in llvm-libtool, but while lld-link can
also create .lib files from .def files it didn't support aliases.
I compared the Inputs/library.def test against the output from
llvm-libtool and it matches, except for the fact that lld-link reorders
functions for some reason.
I have also verified that this fixes a bug I was running into while
trying to compile .def files to .lib files in MinGW-w64 (using lld-link
instead of llvm-libtool).

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
discussions on D117250.

We already perform memory initialization and apply global relocations
during start. It makes sense to performs data relocations too. I think
the reason we were not doing this already is solely historical.

After the D33630 fallout was properly fixed by a4c5db30be.
Tested by D37462/D44986 tests, the new --no-rosegment test in build-id.s, and a few --rosegment/--no-rosegment programs.
Move all variables at file-scope or function-static-scope into a hosting structure (lld::CommonLinkerContext) that lives at lldMain()-scope. Drivers will inherit from this structure and add their own global state, in the same way as for the existing COFFLinkerContext.

Sorting dynamic relocations is a bottleneck. Simplifying the comparator improves
performance. Linking clang is 4~5% faster with --threads=8.
This change may shuffle R_MIPS_REL32 for Mips and is a NFC for non-Mips.
