[ELF] Add --remap-inputs= and --remap-inputs-file=
--remap-inputs-file= can be specified multiple times, each naming a remap file that contains `from-glob=to-file` lines or `#`-led comments. ('=' is used a separator a la -fdebug-prefix-map=) --remap-inputs-file= can be used to: * replace an input file. E.g. `"*/libz.so=exp/libz.so"` can replace a resolved `-lz` without updating the input file list or (if used) a response file. When debugging an application where a bug is isolated to one single input file, this option gives a convenient way to test fixes. * remove an input file with `/dev/null` (changed to `NUL` on Windows), e.g. `"a.o=/dev/null"`. A build system may add unneeded dependencies. This option gives a convenient way to test the result removing some inputs. `--remap-inputs=a.o=aa.o` can be specified to provide one pattern without using an extra file. (bash/zsh process substitution is handy for specifying a pattern without using a remap file, e.g. `--remap-inputs-file=<(printf 'a.o=aa.o')`, but it may be unavailable in some systems. An extra file can be inconvenient for a build system.) Exact patterns are tested before wildcard patterns. In case of a tie, the first patterns wins. This is an implementation detail that users should not rely on.
