[lld-macho] Implement branch-range-extension thunks

Extend the range of calls beyond an architecture's limited branch range by first calling a thunk, which loads the far address into a scratch register (x16 on ARM64) and branches through it.

Other ports (COFF, ELF) use multiple passes with successively-refined guesses regarding the expansion of text-space imposed by thunk-space overhead. This MachO algorithm places thunks during MergedOutputSection::finalize() in a single pass using exact thunk-space overheads. Thunks are kept in a separate vector to avoid the overhead of inserting into the `inputs` vector of `MergedOutputSection`.

FIXME:
* arm64-stubs.s test is broken
* add thunk tests
* Handle thunks to DylibSymbol in MergedOutputSection::finalize()
