Port COFF's https://reviews.llvm.org/D78221 and
https://reviews.llvm.org/D137217 to ELF. For the in-process ThinLTO
link, `ld.lld --save-temps a.o d/b.o -o out` will create
ELF relocatable files `out.lto.a.o`/`d/out.lto.b.o` instead of
`out1.lto.o`/`out2.lto.o`. Deriving the LTO-generated relocatable file
name from bitcode file names helps debugging.
The relocatable file name from the first regular LTO partition does not
change: `out.lto.o`. The second, if present due to `--lto-partition=`,
changes from `out1.lto.o` to `lto.1.o`.
For an archive member, e.g. `d/a.a(coll.o at 8)`,
the relocatable file is `d/out.lto.a.a(coll.o at 8).o`.
`--lto-emit-asm` file names are changed similarly. `--lto-emit-asm -o
out` now creates `out.lto.s` instead of `out`, therefore the
`--lto-emit-asm -o -` idiom no longer works. However, I think this new
behavior (which matches COFF) is better since keeping or removing
`--lto-emit-asm` will dump different files, instead of overwriting the
`-o` output file from an executable/shared object to an assembly file.

This is fixing a thinLTO module collision issue for thin archives. The problem is that we always use a zero offset to name members in a thin archive and that causes the following build error:
ld.lld: error: Expected at most one ThinLTO module per bitcode file
which happens to a thin archive that has two members with the same object file name (whose paths will be ignored by thinLTO driver)
The fix here is to use real member offset instead as is done for non-thin archives.

--no-threads is a name copied from gold.
gold has --no-thread, --thread-count and several other --thread-count-*.
There are needs to customize the number of threads (running several lld
processes concurrently or customizing the number of LTO threads).
Having a single --threads=N is a straightforward replacement of gold's
--no-threads + --thread-count.
--no-threads is used rarely. So just delete --no-threads instead of
keeping it for compatibility for a while.
If --threads= is specified (ELF,wasm; COFF /threads: is similar),
--thinlto-jobs= defaults to --threads=,
otherwise all available hardware threads are used.
There is currently no way to override a --threads={1,2,...}. It is still
a debate whether we should use --threads=all.

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).

Summary:
A test is passing `-o -` to lld in the hope of writing the output to
standard out but that is not the case. Instead it creates a file named
`-.lto.o`. This fixes it by creating a temporary file in the work
directory.

The comment only made sense a long time ago, when --thinlto-jobs was
tied with --lto-partitions. That was changed in r283817, but the test
wasn't updated at the same time. This patch does so.

Instead of writing empty index for file, this patch tracks the state of files in ObjectToIndexFileState. If the files are not indexed , only then we emit the empty files

Our promise is that as long as there's no fatal error (i.e. broken
file is given to the linker), our main function returns to the caller.
So we can't use exit() in the regular code path.

Summary:
1. Use stream 0 only for combined module. Previously if combined module was not
processes ThinLTO used the stream for own output. However small changes in input,
could trigger combined module and shuffle outputs making life of llvm::LTO harder.
2. Always process combined module and write output to stream 0. Processing empty
combined module is cheap and allows llvm::LTO users to avoid implementing processing
which is already done in llvm::LTO.

Noticed while testing for an out of tree target. There are probably more tests that should be so marked.
I'm not sure who owns these tests so I've added a few names I recognise from the recent history.
With advice from probinson, ruiu, rafael and dramatically improved by davidb. Thank you all!

Before the default was whatever number hardware_concurrency() returned.
Users can specify the number of threads via --lto-jobs=X option.
