A thin archive is an archive/library format where the archive itself contains only references to member object files on disk, rather than embedding the file contents. For the non-/wholearchive case, we use the path to the archive member as the identifier for thin-archive members (see comments in `enqueueArchiveMember`). This patch modifies the /wholearchive path to behave the same way. Apart from consistency, my motivation for fixing this is DTLTO (#126654), where having the member identifier be the path on disk allows distribution of bitcode members during ThinLTO.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
