Looks like if you have symbol foo in a module-definition file
(.def file), and if the actual symbol name to match that export
description is _foo@x (where x is an integer), the exported
symbol name becomes this.
- foo in the .dll file
- foo@x in the .lib file
I have checked in a few fixes recently for exported symbol name mangling.
I haven't found a simple rule that governs all the mangling rules.
There may not ever exist. For now, this is a patch to improve .lib
file compatibility.

There are two ways to specify a symbol to be exported in the module
definition file.
1) EXPORT <external name> = <symbol>
2) EXPORT <symbol>
In (1), you give both external name and internal name. In that case,
the linker tries to find a symbol using the internal name, and write
that address to the export table with the external name. Thus, from
the outer world, the symbol seems to be exported as the external name.
In (2), internal name is basically the same as the external name
with an exception: if you give an undecorated symbol to the EXPORT
directive, and if the linker finds a decorated symbol, the external
name for the symbol will become the decorated symbol.
LLD didn't implement that exception correctly. This patch fixes that.

lib.exe prints a warning if a symbol in a module definition file has
both the PRIVATE attribute and an ordinal like this.
EXPORTS
foo @1 PRIVATE
This patch suppresses that.

A symbol in a module definition file may be annotated with the
PRIVATE keyword like this.
EXPORTS
func PRIVATE
The PRIVATE keyword does not affect the resulting .dll file.
But it prevents the symbol to be listed in the .lib (import
library) file.

Export definitions in a module definition file is as follows:
exportedname[=internalname] [@ordinal [NONAME]] [PRIVATE] [DATA]
Previously we did not support =internalname, so users couldn't export
symbols from a DLL with a different name.

When creating a .lib file, we should strip the leading underscore,
but should not strip stdcall atsign suffix. Otherwise produced .lib
files cannot be linked.

Previously the input file for the lib.exe command would be removed
as soon as the command exits, so we couldn't write a test to check
the file contents are correct.
This patch adds /lldmoduledeffile: option to retain a copy of the
temporary file at the given file path, so that you can see the file
if you want.

If a symbol in an import library is marked as "data", the linker will not
create a jump table entry for the symbol, since jump table makes sense only
for a symbol pointing to a function.
I don't think NONAME attribute has a meaning when creating an import library.
The attribute is emitted for debugging purpose.

If the linker is instructed to create a DLL, it will also create an import
library (.lib file) to describe the symbols exported by the DLL. This patch is
to create the import library file.
There is a convenient command "lib.exe" which can create an import library
from a module definition file (.def file). The command is used in this patch.
