Rui Ueyama 016833bac2 lld: unquote possibly quoted `EXTERN("symbol")` entry in linker script.
gold accepts quoted strings. binutils requires quoted strings for some
kinds of symbols, e.g.:

  it accepts quoted symbols with @ in name:

  $ echo 'EXTERN("__libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.2.5")' > a.script
  $ g++ a.script
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.5/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
  (.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  but rejects them if unquoted:

  $ echo 'EXTERN(__libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.2.5)' > a.script
  $ g++ a.script
  a.script: file not recognized: File format not recognized
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

To maintain compatibility with existing linker scripts support quoted
strings in lld as well.

Patch by Lucian Adrian Grijincu.
