An upcoming commit will change how we choose to reference a dylib. Currently
dylibs are only given an LC_LOAD_DYLIB in the final image if an atom is used.
This is different from ld64 which adds the load command when the dylib is referenced
on the cmdline.
In order to change this behaviour, we need libSystem.yaml to actually contain a mach header
so that it is parsed as a dylib, instead of currently being parsed as a normalised file.
To get a mach header, we also require an arch, so now we have one libsystem per arch and
all the tests have been updated to choose the correct one.

loadFile could load mulitple files just because yaml has a feature for
putting multiple documents in one file.
Designing a linker around what yaml can do seems like a bad idea to
me. This patch changes it to read a single file.
There are further improvements to be done to the api and they
will follow shortly.

Arm code has two instruction encodings "thumb" and "arm". When branching from
one code encoding to another, you need to use an instruction that switches
the instruction mode. Usually the transition only happens at call sites, and
the linker can transform a BL instruction in BLX (or vice versa). But if the
compiler did a tail call optimization and a function ends with a branch (not
branch and link), there is no pc-rel BX instruction.
The ShimPass looks for pc-rel B instructions that will need to switch mode.
For those cases it synthesizes a shim which does the transition, then modifies
the original atom with the B instruction to target to the shim atom.
