The option is added in MSVC 2015, and there's no documentation about
what the option is. This patch is to ignore the option for now, so that
at least LLD is usable with MSVC 2015.

There were at least two issues with having them together:
* For compatibility checks, we only want to look at the ELF kind.
* Adding support for shared libraries should introduce one InputFile kind,
not 4.

I don't understand why the previous code is pretty flaky and
the new code is at least less flaky, but the original test
occasionally failed on the second run of lib.exe.
My guess was that lib.exe was failing because the output of
the echo command executed immediately before lib.exe was not
flushed to a file, but as far as I can say, the file
descriptor is properly closed in TestRunner.py, so this's
probably not correct. Other theory is that, on Windows, file
output is not guaranteed to be visible to other processes even
if a process flushes file descriptors, but I'd think that's
unlikely. So honestly I don't know the cause yet.

This patch fixes a subtle incompatibility with MSVC linker.
MSVC linker preserves the original spelling of a DLL in the
import descriptor table. LLD previously converted all
characters to lowercase. Usually this difference is benign,
but if a program explicitly checks for DLL file names, the
program could fail.

The ELF spec says:
... if any reference to or definition of a name is a symbol with a
non-default visibility attribute, the visibility attribute must be
propagated to the resolving symbol in the linked object. If different
visibility attributes are specified for distinct references to or
definitions of a symbol, the most constraining visibility attribute
must be propagated to the resolving symbol in the linked object. The
attributes, ordered from least to most constraining, are:
STV_PROTECTED, STV_HIDDEN and STV_INTERNAL.

In r246424, I made a change that disables non-DLL to export
symbols. It turned out that the change was not correct. Both
DLLs and executables are able to export symbols (although the
latter is relatively rare). This change restores the feature.

I have totally no idea why, but MSVC linker is sensitive about
file names of archive members. If we do not make import library
file names to the same as the DLL name, MSVC link *crashes*
when it is processing the library file. This patch is to set
the same name.

The rules for dllexported symbols are overly complicated due to
x86 name decoration, fuzzy symbol resolution, and the fact that
one symbol can be resolved by so many different names. The rules
are probably intended to be "intuitive", so that users don't have
to understand the name mangling schemes, but it seems that it can
lead to unintended symbol exports.
To make it clear what I'm trying to do with this patch, let me
write how the export rules are subtle and complicated.
- x86 name decoration: If machine type is i386 and export name
is given by a command line option, like /export:foo, the
real symbol name the linker has to search for is _foo because
all symbols are decorated with "_" prefixes. This doesn't happen
on non-x86 machines. This automatic name decoration happens only
when the name is not C++ mangled.
However, the symbol name exported from DLLs are ones without "_"
on all platforms.
Moreover, if the option is given via .drectve section, no
symbol decoration is done (the reason being that the .drectve
section is created by a compiler and the compiler should always
know the exact name of the symbol, I guess).
- Fuzzy symbol resolution: In addition to x86 name decoration,
the linker has to look for cdecl or C++ mangled symbols
for a given /export. For example, it searches for not only
_foo but also _foo@<number> or ??foo@... for /export:foo.
Previous implementation didn't get it right. I'm trying to make
it as compatible with MSVC linker as possible with this patch
however the rules are. The new code looks a bit messy to me, but
I don't think it can be simpler due to the ad-hoc-ness of the rules.

It is currently failing with "'__uncaught_exception': identifier not found"
error. I guess it is due to r246219 because after that change, eh.h is
included only when threading is enabled.

Now that we print a symbol table and all symbol kinds are at least declared,
we can test all combinations that don't produce an error.
This also includes a few fixes to keep the test passing:
* Keep the strong symbol in a weak X strong pair
* Handle common symbols.
The common X common case will be finished in a followup patch.

This is exposed via a new flag /opt:lldltojobs=N, where N is the number of
code generation threads.

Now it is possible to have mips-linux-gnu-ld executable and link MIPS 64-bit
little-endian binaries providing -melf64ltsmip command line argument.

lib.exe has a feature to create import library files (which contain
short import files) from module-definition files. Previously, we were
using that feature, but it turned out that the feature is not complete
for us.
There seems no way to specify "Import Types" in module-definition file.
lib.exe always adds "_" to given symbols and specify IMPORT_NAME_UNDECORATE.
We need more fine-grainded control on that value.
This patch teaches LLD to create short import files itself.
We are still using lib.exe, but the use of the tool is limited to create
empty import library files. We then create short import files and add them
to the empty files as new members.
This patch does not intend to change the functionality. LLD produces
the same import libraries as before. I'll make another change to create
different import libraries in a follow-up patch.
