The round-trip passes were introduced in r193300. The intention of
the change was to make sure that LLD is capable of reading end
writing such file formats.
But that turned out to be yet another over-designed stuff that had
been slowing down everyday development.
The passes ran after the core linker and before the writer. If you
had an additional piece of information that needs to be passed from
front-end to the writer, you had to invent a way to save the data to
YAML/Native. These passes forced us to do that even if that data
was not needed to be represented neither in an object file nor in
an executable/DSO. It doesn't make sense. We don't need these passes.

The parsing routines in the linker script to parse strings encoded in various
formats(hexadecimal, octal, decimal, etc), is needed by the GNU driver too. This
library provides helper functions for all flavors and flavors to add helper
functions which other flavors may make use of.

Summary: Add support in the universal driver to print the lld version and the
repository version.
Test Plan: A driver test is added

This includes selecting which driver to emulate, option parsing, invocation
building, and running the link. This currently only supports a very basic
subset of ld for x86_64-linux.
lld -flavor ld obj.o -o obj
or symlink lld as (ld , link, ld64, core) to get the desired behavior without
-flavor.

now Reader and Writer subclasses for each file format. Each Reader and
Writer subclass defines an "options" class which controls how that Reader
or Writer operates.

a hello world executable from atoms. There is still much to be flushed out.
Added one test case, test/darwin/hello-world.objtxt, which exercises the
darwin platform.
Added -platform option to lld-core tool to dynamically select platform.

Add first linker pass (StubsPass) which looks for calls to shared library
symbols and replaces them with calls to a StubAtom. On ELF system, a "stub"
is a PLT entry. Added a simple test case.
Pass a Platform object to YAML reader and writer for converting fixup kinds
between names and values.
Change output of Resolver to be a File object instead of a vector of Atoms.
Thus, passes operate on a File instead of just Atoms.
Rework how to walk through a File's Atoms. Now iterator based instead of
a method that visits each atom.
