Teresa Johnson 765941a841 [gold/ThinLTO] Restore ThinLTO file management in gold plugin
Summary:
The gold-plugin changes added along with the new LTO API in r278338 had
the effect of removing the management of the PluginInputFile that
ensured the files weren't released back to gold until the backend
threads were complete. Add back the old file handling.

Fixes PR29020.

The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin
========================

This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.

See docs/GoldPlugin.html for complete build and usage instructions.

NOTE: libLTO and LLVMgold aren't built without PIC because they would fail
to link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined.
As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in
your entire LLVM build.
