ORC supports loading relocatable object files into a JIT'd process. The
raw "add object file" API (ObjectLayer::add) accepts plain relocatable
object files as llvm::MemoryBuffers only and does not check that the
object file's format or architecture are compatible with the process
that it will be linked in to. This API is flexible, but places the
burden of error checking and universal binary support on clients.
This commit introduces a new utility, loadRelocatableObject, that takes
a path to load and a target triple and then:
1. If the path does not exist, returns a FileError containing the
invalid path.
2. If the path points to a MachO universal binary, identifies and
returns MemoryBuffer covering the slice that matches the given triple
(checking that the slice really does contains a valid MachO relocatable
object with a compatible arch).
3. If the path points to a regular relocatable object file, verifies
that the format and architecture are compatible with the triple.
Clients can use loadRelocatableObject in the common case of loading
object files from disk to simplify their code.
Note: Error checking for ELF and COFF is left as a FIXME.

This testcase fails on MinGW targets, because when compiling the
main() function, it gets an implicit call to __main(), which is
missing in this context.
This fails on one of our bots:
https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/120/builds/6309
llvm-jitlink error: Unsupported target machine architecture in COFF object
The other bot doesn't run the test at all it seems but I can't explain
why. It's also possible that I'm mistaken and the mostly native but still
"cross compiling" setup we have on WoA means an x86 object is produced sometimes
(perhaps because a default triple is still x86).
The SectCreateMaterializationUnit creates a LinkGraph with a single named
section containing a single named block whose content is given by a
MemoryBuffer. It is intended to support emulation of ld64's -sectcreate option.
Replaces an llvm::cast that assumed that all Binary instances were either
Archive or MachOUniversalBinary instances with a dyn_cast. The cast was
triggering an assert in StaticLibraryDefinitionGenerator::Load if that method
was given a path or MemoryBuffer containing a relocatable object file.
Switching to dyn_cast causes the operation to error out with a bad-format
error as expected.
