Currently LLD supports --defsym only in the form of
--defsym=<symbol>=<integer>, where the integer is interpreted as the
absolute address of the symbol. This patch extends it to allow other
symbol name to be given as an RHS value. If a RHS value is a symbol
name, the LHS symbol will be defined as an alias for the RHS symbol.
Internally, a LHS symbol is represented as a zero-size defined atom
who has an LayoutAfter reference to an undefined atom, whose name is
the RHS value. Everything else is already implemented -- Resolver
will resolve the undefined symbol, and the layout pass will layout
the two atoms at the same location. Looks like it's working fine.
Note that GNU LD supports --defsym=<symbol>=<symbol>+<addend>. That
feature is out of scope of this patch.

a couple of new virtual functions.
Follow-up to the rL203408. Two virtual functions `createRelocationReference()`
responsible for creation of `ELFReference` have been replaced by a couple of
new virtual functions `createRelocationReferences()` (plural). Each former
function creates a //single// ELFReference for a specified `Elf_Rela`
or `Elf_Rel` relocation records. The new functions responsible for creation
of //all// relocation references for provided symbol.
For all targets except MIPS there are no functional changes.
MIPS ABI has a notion of //paired// relocations. An effective addend of such
relocations are calculated using addends of both pair's members.
Each `R_MIPS_HI16` and `R_MIPS_GOT16` (for local symbols) relocations must have
an associated `R_MIPS_LO16` entry immediately following it in the list
of relocations. Immediately does not mean "next record" in relocations section
but "next record referenced the same symbol". Moreover a single `R_MIPS_LO16`
relocation can be paired with multiple preceding `R_MIPS_HI16/R_MIPS_GOT16`
relocations.
The paired relocation can have offsets belong to the different symbols.
That is why we need to have access to list of all relocations during
construction of `ELFReference` for MIPS target.

On these tests llvm-mc will convert got relocations with a symbol to section
relocations. This is invalid, since the relocation doesn't reference the symbol
itself, so its offset in a section in irrelevant.
Given the object files, these are still valid lld tests, so just run the
tests directly on the binaries.
Found by running check-lld after fixing the relocation handling in llvm-mc.

Response file is a command line argument in the form of @file. The GNU-
compatible driver expands the file contents, replacing @file argument.

This patch is to support --defsym option for ELF file format/GNU-compatible
driver. Currently it takes a symbol name followed by '=' and a number. If such
option is given, the driver sets up an absolute symbol with the specified
address. You can specify multiple --defsym options to define multiple symbols.
GNU LD's --defsym provides many more features. For example, it allows users to
specify another symbol name instead of a number to define a symbol alias, or it
even allows a symbol plus an offset (e.g. --defsym=foo+3) to define symbol-
relative alias. This patch does not support that, but will be supported in
subsequent patches.

If --allow-multiple-definition option is given, LLD does not treat duplicate
symbol error as a fatal error. GNU LD supports this option.

* Read addend for R_MIPS_GOT16 relocation.
* Put only high 16 bits of symbol + addend into GOT entries for
locally visible symbols.

The sections .rela/.rel.(*) have a alignment of 2 in the final image created by
the linker. This needs to be properly set to the right alignment depending on
the architecture(32/64bits).

Add new virtual virtual function `isRelaOutputFormat` to the
`ELFLinkingContext` class. Call this function everywhere we need to
select a relocation table format.
