This shouldn't have any user visible effect, but makes the logic within
the linker implementation more explicit.
Note how DWARF debug info sections were retained even if enabling a link
with PDB info only; that behaviour is preserved.
[RFC](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-add-build-id-flag-to-lld-link/74661)
Before, lld-link only generate the debug directory containing guid when
generating PDB with the hash of PDB content.
With this change, lld-link can generate the debug directory when only
`/build-id` is given:
1. If generating PDB, `/build-id` is ignored. Same behaviour as before.
2. Not generating PDB, using hash of the binary.
- Not under MinGW, the debug directory is still in `.rdata` section.
- Under MinGW, place the debug directory into new `.buildid` section.
The MinGW mode (enabled with the flag -lldmingw) does allow duplicate
weak symbols. A test in
compiler-rt/test/profile/Windows/coverage-weak-lld.cpp does currently
enable the -lldmingw flag in an MSVC context, in order to deal with
duplicate weak symbols.
Add a new, separate, lld specific flag for enabling this. In MinGW mode,
this is enabled by default, otherwise it is disabled.
This allows making the MinGW mode more restrictive in adding libpaths
from the surrounding environment; in MinGW mode, all libpaths are passed
explicitly by the compiler driver to the linker, which is attempted in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D144084.
This adds support for generating Chrome-tracing .json profile traces in
the LLD COFF driver.
Also add the necessary time scopes, so that the profile trace shows in
great detail which tasks are executed.
As an example, this is what we see when linking a Unreal Engine
executable:

C++20 will automatically generate an operator== with reversed operand
order, which is ambiguous with the written operator== when one argument
is marked const and the other isn't.
While working on adding more implicit search paths to the
lld COFF driver, it was helpful to have a way to print all
the search paths, both for debugging and for testing without
having to create very complicated test cases.
This is a simple arg that just prints the search paths and exits.

MSVC link.exe allows overriding exports on the cmd-line with exports seen in OBJ directives. The typical case is what is described in #62329.
Before this patch, trying to override an export with `/export` or `/def` would generate a duplicate warning. This patches tries to replicate the MSVC behavior. A second override on the cmd-line would still generate the warning.
There's still a case which we don't cover: MSVC link.exe is able to demangle an exported OBJ directive function, and match it with a unmangled export function in a .def file. In the meanwhile, one can use the mangled export in the .def to cover that case.
This fixes#62329

Currently, the --thinlto-prefix-replace="oldpath;newpath" option is used during
distributed ThinLTO thin links to specify the mapping of the input bitcode object
files' directory tree (oldpath) to the directory tree (newpath) used for both:
1) the output files of the thin link itself (the .thinlto.bc index files and the
optional .imports files)
2) the specified object file paths written to the response file given in the
--thinlto-index-only=${response} option, which is used by the final native
link and must match the paths of the native object files that will be
produced by ThinLTO backend compiles.
This patch expands the --thinlto-prefix-replace option to allow a separate directory
tree mapping to be specified for the object file paths written to the response file
(number 2 above). This is important to support builds and build systems where the
same output directory may not be written by multiple build actions (e.g. the thin link
and the ThinLTO backend compiles).
The new format is: --thinlto-prefix-replace="origpath;outpath[;objpath]"
This replaces the origpath directory tree of the thin link input files with
outpath when writing the thin link index and imports outputs (number 1
above). If objpath is specified it replaces origpath of the input files with
objpath when writing the response file (number 2 above), otherwise it
falls back to the old behavior of using outpath for this as well.

Allow controlling the CodeGenOpt::Level independent of the LTO
optimization level in LLD via new options for the COFF, ELF, MachO, and
wasm frontends to lld. Most are spelled as --lto-CGO[0-3], but COFF is
spelled as -opt:lldltocgo=[0-3].
See D57422 for discussion surrounding the issue of how to set the CG opt
level. The ultimate goal is to let each function control its CG opt
level, but until then the current default means it is impossible to
specify a CG opt level lower than 2 while using LTO. This option gives
the user a means to control it for as long as it is not handled on a

If linking directly against a DLL without an import library, the
DLL export symbols might not contain stdcall decorations.
If we have an undefined symbol with decoration, and we happen to have
a matching undecorated symbol (which either is lazy and can be loaded,
or already defined), then alias it against that instead.
This matches what's done in reverse, when we have a def file
declaring to export a symbol without decoration, but we only have
a defined decorated symbol. In that case we do a fuzzy match
(SymbolTable::findMangle). This case is more straightforward; if we
have a decorated undefined symbol, just strip the decoration and look
for the corresponding undecorated symbol name.
Add warnings and options for either silencing the warning or disabling
the whole feature, corresponding to how ld.bfd does it.
(This feature works for any symbol decoration mismatch, not only when
linking against a DLL directly; ld.bfd also tolerates it anywhere,
and also fixes up mismatches in the other direction, like
SymbolTable::findMangle, for any symbol, not only exports. But in
practice, at least for lld, it would primarily end up used for linking
against DLLs.)

Allow disabling either the full auto import feature, or just
forbidding the cases that require runtime fixups.
As long as all auto imported variables are referenced from separate
.refptr$<name> sections, we can alias them on top of the IAT entries
and don't actually need any runtime fixups via pseudo relocations.
LLVM generates references to variables in .refptr stubs, if it
isn't known that the variable for sure is defined in the same object
module. Runtime pseudo relocs are needed if the addresses of auto
imported variables are used in constant initializers though.
Fixing up runtime pseudo relocations requires the use of
VirtualProtect (which is disallowed in WinStore/UWP apps) or
VirtualProtectFromApp. To allow any risk of ambiguity, allow
rejecting cases that would require this at the linker stage.
This adds support for the --disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc and
--disable-auto-import options in the MinGW driver (matching GNU ld.bfd)
with corresponding lld private options in the COFF driver.

/PDBSTREAM:<name>=<file> adds the contents of <file> to stream <name> in the resulting PDB.
This allows native uses with workflows that (for example) add srcsrv streams to PDB files to provide a location for the build's source files.
Results should be equivalent to linking with lld-link, then running Microsoft's pdbstr tool with the command line:
pdbstr.exe -w -p:<PDB LOCATION> -s:<name> -i:<file>
except in cases where the named stream overlaps with a default named stream, such as "/names". In those cases, the added stream will be overridden, making the /pdbstream option a no-op.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).
