When integrating PDB output in mingw targeting build systems, it
might be a lot of extra work to specify unique file names for
the pdb output. Therefore allow omitting the actual file name
and let it implicitly be the same name as the linker output, with
a pdb extension.

As the current form of the pdb option takes a separate parameter value,
e.g. "-pdb out.pdb", it is impractical to leave out the parameter value.

Therefore, introduce a second syntax for the option, with an equals
sign, like -pdb=out.pdb, where the value easily can be omitted.

The form -pdb= for requesting pdb files with an implicit name should
work fine, even though it looks a bit unconventional in that form.

GNU ld doesn't have such a flag though, so this is a lld specific
option.

without a defined name.

Also move options that actually weren't ignored to the right section.

GCC can use LLD with -fuse-ld=lld for MinGW these days, but by
default these options are passed to the linker (unless -fno-lto
is passed to the GCC driver).

LLD already writes a build id if debug info is enabled.

Some projects set --pie-executable to avoid GNU ld bugs about stripping
base relocations from an executable when they actually are used.
Since -fixed:no is the default (and we don't support setting the
-fixed option via the MinGW frontend), we don't need to handle this.

--disable-auto-image-base is ignored just like --enable-auto-image-base
(as we ignore from before).

All of these are disabled by default in GNU ld, but enabled by default
in lld.

Disable dynamicbase by default since it potentially could cause
compatibility issues, but just ignore the others since the lld
default should be fine for most concievable cases.

In GNU ld, this option is enabled by default, but can be set
to reduce some warnings.

For lld, ignore the flag (for now); in case linking still succeeds
everything should be fine, if not, it should be clear to the user
what part failed (possibly requiring adjusting the user project
to not rely on this feature), instead of straight out failing due to
an unknown flag.

GNU ld manual says that multi-letter long option can be prefixed with
either -- or -. Therefore, we should accept not only --subsystem but
also -subsystem, for example.

There is one exception. If an option starts with "o", it should only be
prefixed with -- to avoid ambiguity with -o<filename> option.

If the sysroot parameter is passed to the clang frontend, clang
already uses it to find libraries and adds -L options for it, but
also passes it on to the linker. Therefore we can get pretty far
by just ignoring it altogether.

Pass the -verbose option through to the COFF linker, and show the
arguments passed to it. If the -### option is specified, just show
the produced argument list and exit, just like in clang.

Replace the first argument with "lld-link" in order to produce a
correct command line.

When building COFF programs many targets such as mingw prefer
to have a gnu ld frontend. Rather then having a fully fledged
standalone driver we wrap a shim around the LINK driver.
