This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.

This is an initial patch for a section-based COFF linker.
The patch has 2300 lines of code including comments and blank lines.
Before diving into details, you want to start from reading README
because it should give you an overview of the design.
All important things are written in the README file, so I write
summary here.
- The linker is already able to self-link on Windows.
- It's significantly faster than the existing implementation.
The existing one takes 5 seconds to link LLD on my machine,
while the new one only takes 1.2 seconds, even though the new
one is not multi-threaded yet. (And a proof-of-concept multi-
threaded version was able to link it in 0.5 seconds.)
- It uses much less memory (250MB vs. 2GB virtual memory space
to self-host).
- IMHO the new code is much simpler and easier to read than
the existing PE/COFF port.

The canonical LLVM directory arrangement places binaries in the 'utils/'
tree when they are used as part of building the project. For example,
the tblgen binaries are built out of 'utils/' trees.
Tools which are not used by any other part of the build, including
testing utilities, are just in the 'tools' directory. For example, in
Clang we have 'c-index-test' which is exactly the same kind of thing as
'linker-script-test'.

allows it to support multilib suffixed hosts using lib64, etc. This
variable is now available both in the direct LLVM build and from the
LLVMConfig.cmake file used by standalone builds.

We compile with exceptions off for LLVM and all other LLVM
subprojects, so this brings parity to LLD and disables this
warning.

C++11. I'm not sure that this is a good idea, but I know some crazy
folks on the core working group who like to live dangerously, and they
should still be able to build LLD. =D

For now, use both keywords, INTERFACE and PRIVATE via the variable,
- ${cmake_2_8_12_INTERFACE}
- ${cmake_2_8_12_PRIVATE}
They could be cleaned up when we introduce 2.8.12.

Previously, the CMake build would look for llvm-tblgen to determine
if a directory is an LLVM build or install directory. Since we don't
want to include llvm-tblgen in the install, look for llvm-config instead,
and use that to find llvm-tblgen.
(This is the lld equivalent of Clang r189127.)

class. Change Resolver to no longer use Platform. Core linking
now issues errors directly. We need to factor that out later.
Rework how Darwin executable writer finds "main" atom. It now
adds to core linking an Atom which has a Reference to "main".

Add first linker pass (StubsPass) which looks for calls to shared library
symbols and replaces them with calls to a StubAtom. On ELF system, a "stub"
is a PLT entry. Added a simple test case.
Pass a Platform object to YAML reader and writer for converting fixup kinds
between names and values.
Change output of Resolver to be a File object instead of a vector of Atoms.
Thus, passes operate on a File instead of just Atoms.
Rework how to walk through a File's Atoms. Now iterator based instead of
a method that visits each atom.
