Previously an opt-in flag `-fopenmp-new-driver` was used to enable the
new offloading driver. After passing tests for a few months it should be
sufficiently mature to flip the switch and make it the default. The new
offloading driver is now enabled if there is OpenMP and OpenMP
offloading present and the new `-fno-openmp-new-driver` is not present.
The new offloading driver has three main benefits over the old method:
- Static library support
- Device-side LTO
- Unified clang driver stages
Depends on D122683

It (introduced by 556d713c70bfaf58ac18d089883f9c34c581633a) appears to be
related to the removed dragonegg project. In addition, the feature was a bit
misnamed and may lur users to unnecessarily use it.
Currently, clang-offload-bundler has -inputs and -outputs options that accept
values with comma as the delimiter. This causes issues with file paths
containing commas, which are valid file paths on Linux.
This add two new options -input and -output, which accept one single file,
and allow multiple instances. This allows arbitrary file paths. The old
-inputs and -outputs options will be kept for backward compatibility, but
are not allowed to be used with -input and -output options for simplicity.
In the future, -inputs and -outputs options will be phasing out.

An archive containing device code object files can be passed to
clang command line for linking. For each given offload target
it creates a device specific archives which is either passed to llvm-link
if the target is amdgpu, or to clang-nvlink-wrapper if the target is
nvptx. -L/-l flags are used to specify these fat archives on the command
line. E.g.
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 main.cpp -L. -lmylib
It currently doesn't support linking an archive directly, like:
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 main.cpp libmylib.a
Linking with x86 offload also does not work.
