This refactors LTO compile to look more like COFF, where cache hits and misses are all funneled through the same code path.
Previously, cache hits were *not* being saved to -object_path_lto, which led to them sometimes falling out of the cache before dsymutil could process them. As a side effect of the refactor, cached objects are now saved with -save-temps as well, which seems desirable.
(Deleted lld/test/MachO/lto-cache-dsymutil.ll and rolled it into lld/test/MachO/lto-object-path.ll, since the cache-only, non object path approach is unreliable anyway).

This is an entirely new embedded directive - extending the GNU ld
command line option --exclude-symbols to be usable in embedded
directives too.
(GNU ld.bfd also got support for the same new directive, currently in
the latest git version, after the 2.39 branch.)
This works as an inverse to the regular embedded dllexport directives,
for cases when autoexport of all eligible symbols is performed.

Apple Clang in Xcode 14 introduced a new feature for reducing the
overhead of objc_msgSend calls by deduplicating the setup calls for each
individual selector. This works by clang adding undefined symbols for
each selector called in a translation unit, such as `_objc_msgSend$foo`
for calling the `foo` method on any `NSObject`. There are 2
different modes for this behavior, the default directly does the setup
for `_objc_msgSend` and calls it, and the smaller option does the
selector setup, and then calls the standard `_objc_msgSend` stub
function.
The general overview of how this works is:
- Undefined symbols with the given prefix are collected
- The suffix of each matching undefined symbol is added as a string to
`__objc_methname`
- A pointer is added for every method name in the `__objc_selrefs`
section
- A `got` entry is emitted for `_objc_msgSend`
- Stubs are emitting pointing to the synthesized locations
Notes:
- Both `__objc_methname` and `__objc_selrefs` can also exist from object
files, so their contents are merged with our synthesized contents
- The compiler emits method names for defined methods, but not for
undefined symbols you call, but stubs are used for both
- This only implements the default "fast" mode currently just to reduce
the diff, I also doubt many folks will care to swap modes
- This only implements this for arm64 and x86_64, we don't need to
implement this for 32 bit iOS archs, but we should implement it for
watchOS archs in a later diff

Linux Standard Base Core Specification says that CIE/FDE is padded to an
addressing unit size boundary, but in practice GNU assembler/LLVM integrated
assembler pad FDE/CIE to 4 and the last FDE to 8 on 64-bit systems.
In addition, GNU ld doesn't pad to 8, so let's drop excess padding, too.
If the assembler provides aligned pieces, the output will be aligned.
Noticed .eh_frame size reduction for 3 executables: 0.3% (chrome), 4.7% (clang),
7.6% (an internal program).
Previously we only supporting using the system pointer size (aka the

frames with that encoding. But libffi uses 4-byte-encoded, hand-rolled
EH frames, so this patch adds support for it.

If we change

The new test can catch the failure.
A LazySymbol is one that lives in `.a` archive and gets pulled in by a
strong reference. However, weak references to such symbols do not
result in them be loaded from the archive. In this case we want to
treat such symbols at undefined rather then lazy, once symbols
resolution is complete.
This fixes a crash bug in the linker when weakly referenced symbol that
lives in an archive file is live at the end of the link. In the case of
dynamic linking this is expected to turn into an import with (in the
case of a function symbol) a function index.

A symbol `$ld$previous$/Another$1.2.3$1$3.0$14.0$_xxx$` means
"pretend symbol `_xxx` is in dylib `/Another` with version `1.2.3`
if the deployment target is between `3.0` and `14.0` and we're
targeting platform `1` (ie macOS)".
This means dylibs can now inject synthetic dylibs into the link, so
DylibFile needs to grow a 3rd constructor.
The only other interesting thing is that such an injected dylib
counts as a use of the original dylib. This patch gets this mostly
right (if _only_ `$ld$previous` symbols are used from a dylib,
we don't add a dep on the dylib itself, matching ld64), but one case
where we don't match ld64 yet is that ld64 even omits the original
dylib when linking it with `-needed-l`. Lld currently still adds a load
command for the original dylib in that case. (That's for a future
patch.)

Linking fails when targeting `x86_64-apple-darwin` for runtimes. The issue
is that LLD strictly assumes the target architecture be present in the tbd
files (which isn't always true). For example, when targeting `x86_64h`, it should
work with `x86_64` because they are ABI compatible. This is also inline with what
ld64 does.
An environment variable (which ld64 also supports) is also added to preserve the
existing behavior of strict architecture matching.

We were previously doing it after LTO, which did have the desired effect
of having the un-exported symbols marked as private extern in the final
output binary, but doing it before LTO creates more optimization
opportunities.
One observable difference is that LTO can now elide un-exported symbols
entirely, so they may not even be present as private externs in the
output.

This hint instructs the linker to optimize an adrp+add+ldr sequence used
for loading from a local symbol's address by loading directly if it's
close enough, or with an adrp(p)+ldr sequence if it's not.
This transformation is the same as what's done for ADRP_LDR_GOT_LDR when
the symbol is local. The logic for acting on this hint is therefore
moved to a new function which will be called from the existing
applyAdrpLdrGotLdr() function.

Turning on opaque pointers has uncovered an issue with WPD where we currently pattern match away `assume(type.test)` in WPD so that a later LTT doesn't resolve the type test to undef and introduce an `assume(false)`. The pattern matching can fail in cases where we transform two `assume(type.test)`s into `assume(phi(type.test.1, type.test.2))`.
Currently we create `assume(type.test)` for all virtual calls that might be devirtualized. This is to support `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility`.
To prevent this, all virtual calls that may not be in the same LTO module instead use a new `llvm.public.type.test` intrinsic in place of the `llvm.type.test`. Then when we know if `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility` is passed or not, we can either replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `llvm.type.test`, or replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `true`. This prevents WPD from trying to pattern match away `assume(type.test)` for public virtual calls when failing the pattern matching will result in miscompiles.

Most Arm disassemblers, including GNU objdump and Arm's own `fromelf`,
emit an instruction's raw encoding as a 32-bit words or (for Thumb)
one or two 16-bit halfwords, in logical order rather than according to
their storage endianness. This is generally easier to read: it matches
the encoding diagrams in the architecture spec, it matches the value
you'd write in a `.inst` directive, and it means that fields within
the instruction encoding that span more than one byte (such as branch
offsets or `SVC` immediates) can be read directly in the encoding
without having to mentally reverse the bytes.
llvm-objdump already has a system of PrettyPrinter subclasses which
makes it easy for a target to drop in its own preferred formatting.
This patch adds pretty-printers for all the Arm targets, so that
llvm-objdump will display Arm instruction encodings in their preferred
layout instead of little-endian and bytewise.

Additionally, we can now correctly report loads induced by
