Thanks to Hans' patch (r187675), OptTable now handles "--", so we don't
need this code in LLD.

The aim of this patch is to reduce the dependency from COFFDefinedAtom
to COFF structs defined in llvm/Object/COFF.h. Currently many attributes
of the atom are computed in the atom. That provide a simple interface but
does not work well in some cases.

There are some cases that the same type atom is created from different
parts of a COFF file. One example is the BSS atom, which can be created
from the defined symbol in the .bss section or from the undefined symbol.
Computing attributes from different sources in the atom complicates the
code. We should compute it outside the atom.

In the next patch, I'll move more code from Atoms.h to ReaderCOFF.cpp.

Summary:
The .drectve section contains linker command line options, and the linker is
expected to interpret them as if they were given via the command line. In this
patch, the command line parser in the driver is called from the object file
reader to parse the string.

I think this patch is important, because this is the first step towards mutable
TargetInfo. We had a discussion about that on llvm-commits mailing list before.
I haven't removed "const" from the function signature yet. Instead, I just use
cast to remove "const". This is a temporary aid for an experiment. If we don't
see any issue with this mutable TargetInfo appraoch, I'll change the function
signature, and rename the class LinkerContext from TargetInfo.

For an invalid input we should not call report_fatal_error(), because
when LLD is used as a library, we don't want to kill the whole app
because of a malformed input.

A instance of the class always represents a BSS atom, so we don't need
to look at the symbol or the section to retrieve its attributes.

It is not needed after LLVM r187546.

This patch does not change the behavior of LLD, but changes the output of the
help text. We want to show the help text with Windows style indicator rather
than Unix style indicator.

llvm-svn: 187544

This depends on LLVM r187537.

The SUPPORT_ALIASARGS macro will be removed once all option parsing
clients have been updated.

This reverts commit r187390 because we should not handle argv's quotes ourselves.

In Windows, unlike Unix, quotes are not processed by the shell. Instead the C
startup routine parses it as described in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a1y7w461.aspx and pass the results to
main(). So, at the time when the control reaches main(), quotes that should be
removed has already been removed.

We still need to handle quotes in the response file and in .drectve section
ourselves. That will be addressed in different patches.

The BSS atom is similar to the regular defined atom, but it's different
in the sense that it does not have contents. Until now we assumed all the
defined atoms have its contents. That did not fit well to the BSS atom.

llvm-svn: 187453

The command line option in .drectve section may be quoted by double
quotes, and if that's the case we have to remove them.

This patch removes hacky mangle() function, which strips all decorations
uncondtitionally. LLD now interprets Import Name/Type field in the import
library properly as described in the Microsoft PE/COFF Spec.

Member functions to read the symbol table had too many parameters to propagate
all the temporary information from one to another. By storing the information
to data members, we can simplify the function signatures and improve the
readability.

Some sections, such as with IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE attribute, is skipped
in the first pass. Such sections need to be skipped in the latter passes.

Missing files will be reported as errors in the later pass, so this patch
does not change the behavior of the LLD linker, but it helps writing unit
tests for the driver.
