Module-definition (.def) files are the file containing linker directives,
such as export symbols. Because link.exe supports the same features as command
line options, just as some Linker Script commands overlaps with command line
options, use of module-definition file is not really necessary. It provides
an alternative way to specify some linker options.
This patch implements EXPORTS directive. Other directives will be implemented
in the future.

Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive

Before this patch, name of driver implementation is not consistent with its
option table file. Specifically, LDOptions has a different prefix than
GnuLdDriver.
This patch renames option files, so that the option files have the same prefix
as the corresponding driver files.

Add WinLinkDriver and connect it to the existing COFF reader. Remaining
parts are still stubs, so while it can now read a COFF file, it still
cannot link or output PE/COFF files yet.

The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.

This removes Target and moves the functionality it had over to TargetInfo.
This also simplifies LinkerInput by removing the InputKind. This will be handled elsewhere.

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.
