Instead of having 3 section allocators per file, have 3 for all files.
This is a substantial performance improvement for some cases. Linking
chromium without gc speeds up by 1.065x.
This requires using _exit in fatal since we have to avoid destructing
an InputSection if fatal is called from the constructor.
Thanks to Rui for the suggestion.

createELFObj() may call error(...), for example when file is too short.
In that case header is not set and following line lead to crash:
EMachine = ELFObj.getHeader()->e_machine;
Patch fixes the issue.

Previously, it checked for the EC parameter and set HasError
only when there was an error. But in most places we called
error only when error had occurred, so this behavior was confusing.

This is both simpler and safer. If we crash at any point, there is a
valid cpio file to reproduce the crash.

We want --reproduce to
* not rewrite scripts and thin archives
* work with absolute paths
Given that, it pretty much has to create a full directory tree. On windows that
is problematic because of the very short maximum path limit. On most cases
users can still work around it with "--repro c:\r", but that is annoying and
not viable for automated testing.
We then need to produce some form of archive with the files. The first option
that comes to mind is .a files since we already have code for writing them.
There are a few problems with them
The format has a dedicated string table, so we cannot start writing it until
all members are known.
Regular implementations don't support creating directories. We could make
llvm-ar support that, but that is probably not a good idea.
The next natural option would be tar. The problem is that to support long path
names (which is how this started) it needs a "pax extended header" making this
an annoying format to write.
The next option I looked at seems a natural fit: cpio files.
They are available on pretty much every unix, support directories and long path
names and are really easy to write. The only slightly annoying part is a
terminator, but at least gnu cpio only prints a warning if it is missing, which
is handy for crashes. This patch still makes an effort to always create it.

error returned true if there was an error. This allows us to replace
the code like this
if (EC) {
error(EC, "something failed");
return;
}
with
if (error(EC, "something failed"))
return;
I thought that that was a good idea, but it turned out that we only
have two places to use this pattern. So this patch removes that feature.

In many situations, we don't want to exit at the first error even in the
process model. For example, it is better to report all undefined symbols
rather than reporting the first one that the linker picked up randomly.
In order to handle such errors, we don't need to wrap everything with
ErrorOr (thanks for David Blaikie for pointing this out!) Instead, we
can set a flag to record the fact that we found an error and keep it
going until it reaches a reasonable checkpoint.
This idea should be applicable to other places. For example, we can
ignore broken relocations and check for errors after visiting all relocs.
In this patch, I rename error to fatal, and introduce another version of
error which doesn't call exit. That function instead sets HasError to true.
Once HasError becomes true, it stays true, so that we know that there
was an error if it is true.
I think introducing a non-noreturn error reporting function is by itself
a good idea, and it looks to me that this also provides a gradual path
towards lld-as-a-library (or at least embed-lld-to-your-program) without
sacrificing code readability with lots of ErrorOr's.
