Mach-O has a "fat" (or "universal") variant where the same contents built for
different architectures are concatenated into one file with a table-of-contents
header at the start. But this leaves a dilemma for the linker - which
architecture to use.
Normally, the linker command line -arch is used to force which slice of any fat
files are used. The clang compiler always passes -arch to the linker when
invoking it. But some Makefiles invoke the linker directly and don’t specify
the -arch option. For those cases, the linker scans all input files in command
line order and finds the first non-fat object file. Whatever architecture it
is becomes the architecture for the link.

This patch inverts the return value of these functions, so that they return
"true" on success and "false" on failure. The meaning of boolean return value
was mixed in LLD; for example, InputGraph::validate() returns true on success.
With this patch they'll become consistent.

attribute in LinkerInput to isWholeArchive and use that for deciding
whether library archives should be expanded. Implement the -all_load
option of the Darwin linker using this flag and drop the support for it
in GNU mode.

Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".
