If program paths (GCC installation, --sysroot, -B, etc) don't contain
ld.lld, whether -fuse-ld=lld succeeds depends on whether a PATH
directory contains ld.lld.
> error: invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=lld'
This behavior is not suitable when we adopt the new strict behavior of
-### in D156363.
For some tests, append -B%S/Inputs/lld similar to D92028.
For others, use -fuse-ld=ld so that getDefaultLinker (instead of CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER) is used. The complexity stems from CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER.
Fix regression where we aren't passing `-platform_version` to new ld64.lld after {D95204}.
Most of the changes were originally in D95204, but I backed them out due to
test failures on builds which have `CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER=lld`. The tests are
properly updated in this diff.

The new Darwin backend for LLD is now able to link reasonably large
real-world programs on x86_64. For instance, we have achieved
self-hosting for the X86_64 target, where all LLD tests pass when
building lld with itself on macOS. As such, we would like to make it the
default back-end.
The new port is now named `ld64.lld`, and the old port remains
accessible as `ld64.lld.darwinold`
This [annoucement email][1] has some context. (But note that, unlike
what the email says, we are no longer doing this as part of the LLVM 12
branch cut -- instead we will go into LLVM 13.)
Numerous mechanical test changes were required to make this change; in
the interest of creating something that's reviewable on Phabricator,
I've split out the boring changes into a separate diff (D95905). I plan to
merge its contents with those in this diff before landing.
(@gkm made the original draft of this diff, and he has agreed to let me
take over.)

The test failed silently if lld wasn't built alongside clang.
But the test uses -###, so the "invalid linker name in -fuse-ld=lld"
diag didn't make clang fail, and something else happened to match
"-demangle", so the test passed.
To fix, pass -B to a directory with two empty +x files (which works
on non-Windows), and look for `"-demangle"` instead of just `-demangle`.
Also force linker_version to 0 and pass a darwin triple.
