Testing the COFFPlatform on MSVC, a name shadowing issue surfaced where `LoadDynLibrary` inside the constructor was actually using the moved-from function argument. This patch simply renames the argument to avoid that shadowing.

Renames the existing allocateString method to allocateContent and adds a pair of
allocateCString methods.
The previous allocateString method did not include a null-terminator. It behaved
the same as allocateContent except with a Twine input, rather than an
ArrayRef<char>. Renaming allocateString to allocateBuffer (overloading the
existing method) makes this clearer.
The new allocateCString methods allocate the given content plus a
null-terminator character, and return a buffer covering both the string and
null-terminator. This makes them suitable for creating c-string content for
jitlink::Blocks.
Existing users of the old allocateString method have been updated to use the
new allocateContent overload.
Removes public bootstrap method that is not really necessary and not consistent with other platform API.

Supports dynamic VC runtime. It implements atexits handling which is required to load msvcrt.lib successfully. (the object file containing atexit symbol somehow resolves to static vc runtim symbols) It also default to dynamic vc runtime which tends to be more robust.

Initial platform support for COFF/x86_64.
Completed features:
* Statically linked orc runtime.
* Full linking/initialization of static/dynamic vc runtimes and microsoft stl libraries.
* SEH exception handling.
* Full static initializers support
* dlfns
* JIT side symbol lookup/dispatch
Things to note:
* It uses vc runtime libraries found in vc toolchain installations.
* Bootstrapping state is separated because when statically linking orc runtime it needs microsoft stl functions to initialize the orc runtime, but static initializers need to be ran in order to fully initialize stl libraries.
* Process symbols can't be used blidnly on msvc platform; otherwise duplicate definition error gets generated. If process symbols are used, it's destined to get out-of-reach error at some point.
* Atexit currently not handled -- will be handled in the follow-up patches.
