Similar to D125411, but for ARM64X.
ARM64X PE binaries are hybrids containing both ARM64EC and pure ARM64
variants in one file. They are usually linked by passing separate
ARM64EC and ARM64 object files to linker. Linked binaries use ARM64
machine and contain additional CHPE metadata in their load config.
CHPE metadata support is not part of this patch, I plan to send that later.
Using ARM64X as a machine type of object files themselves is somewhat
ambiguous, but such files are allowed by MSVC. It treats them as ARM64
or ARM64EC object, depending on the context. Such objects can be
produced with cvtres.exe -machine:arm64x.

ARM64EC allows having both pure ARM64 objects and ARM64EC in the
same archive. This allows using single static library for linking
pure ARM64, pure ARM64EC or mixed modules (what MS calls ARM64X:
a single module that may be used in both modes). To achieve that,
such static libraries need two separated symbol maps. The usual map
contains only pure ARM64 symbols, while a new /<ECSYMBOLS>/ section
contains EC symbols. EC symbols map has very similar format to the
usual map, except it doesn't contain object offsets and uses offsets
from regular map instead. This is true even for pure ARM64EC static
library: it will simply have 0 symbols in the symbol map.

And share some code with lld-link.
While here, also add a FIXME about PR42180 and merge r360150 to llvm-lib.

lib.exe doesn't allow creating .lib files with object files that have
differing machine types. Update llvm-lib to match.
The motivation is to make it possible to infer the machine type of a
.lib file in lld, so that it can warn when e.g. a 32-bit .lib file is
passed to a 64-bit link (PR38965).
Fixes PR38782.
