When we originally wrote these tests we didn't have a stable and
fleshed out assembly format. Now we do so we should prefer that
over llvm ir for lld tests to avoid including more part of llvm
than necessary in order to run the test.
This change converts just 30 out of about 130 test files. More to
come when I have some more time.

In a very recent change I introduced a --no-export-default flag
but after conferring with others it seems that this feature already
exists in gnu GNU ld and lld in the form the --export-dynamic flag
which is off by default.
This change replaces export-default with export-dynamic and also
changes the default to match the traditional linker behaviour.
Now, by default, only the entry point is exported. If other symbols
are required by the embedder then --export-dynamic or --export can
be used to export all visibility hidden symbols or individual
symbols respectively.
This change touches a lot of tests that were relying on symbols
being exported by default. I imagine it will also effect many
users but do think the change is worth it match of the traditional
behaviour and flag names.

LEB compression breaks debug info so we don't want to enable
it by default, even at high optimization levels.

This change adds the ability for lld to remove LEB padding from
code section. This effectively shrinks the size of the resulting
binary in proportion to the number of code relocations.
Since there will be a performance cost this is currently only active for
-O1 and above. Some toolchains may instead want to perform this
compression as a post linker step (for example running a binary through
binaryen will automatically compress these values).
I imagine we might want to make this the default in the future.
