DLL delay importing is a feature to load a DLL lazily, instead of at program start-up time. If the feature is turned on with the /delayload flag, the linker resolves the delay-load helper function. All function pointer table entries for the DLL are initially pointing to the helper function. When called, the function loads and resolves the DLL symbols using dlopen-ish Windows system calls and then write the reuslts to the function pointer table. The helper function is in "delayimp.lib". Note that this feature is not completely implemented yet. LLD also needs to emit the table that's consumed by the delay-load helper function. That'll be done in another patch. llvm-svn: 218943
