Previously, we handle archive files with --whole-archive this way:
create instances of ArchiveFile, call getMembers to obtain memory
buffers of archive members, and create ObjectFiles for the members.
We didn't call anything except getMembers if --whole-archive was
specified.
I noticed that we didn't actually have to create ArchiveFile instaces
at all for that case. All we need is to get a list of memory buffers
for members, which can be done by a non-member function.
This patch removes getMembers member function from ArchiveFile.
Also removed unnecessary code for memory management.

In the linker script, -l and = have the same meaning as in the command line.
In addition to that, if a path is not absolute, the path needs to be searched
from the search paths. This patch implements them.

Previously, each ArgParser owned a BumpPtrAllocator, and arguments parsed
by an ArgParser would refer strings allocated using the BumpPtrAllocator
only when response files were used. This could cause a subtle bug because
such ownership was not obvious.
This patch moves the ownership from ArgParser to Driver and make the
ownership explicit.

SymbolTable was not a template class. Instead we had switch-case-based
type dispatch to call desired functions. We had to do that because
SymbolTable was created before we know what ELF type objects had been
passed.
Every time I tried to add a new function to the symbol table, I had to
define a dispatcher which consist of a single switch statement.
It also brought an restriction what the driver can do. For example,
we cannot add undefined symbols before any files are added to the symbol
table. That's because no symbols can be added until the symbol table
knows the ELF type, but when it knows about that, it's too late.
In this patch, the driver makes a decision on what ELF type objects
are being handled. Then the driver creates a SymbolTable object for
an appropriate ELF type.

Opening a file and dispatching to readLinkerScript() or createFile()
is a common operation. We want to use that at least from Driver and
from LinkerScript. In COFF, we had the same problem. This patch
resolves the problem in the same way as we did for COFF.
Now, if you have a path that you want to open, just call
Driver->addFile(StringRef). That function opens the file and handles
that as if that were given by command line. This function is the
only place we call identify_magic().

This linker script parser and evaluator is powerful enough to read
Linux's libc.so, which is (despite its name) a linker script that
contains OUTPUT_FORMAT, GROUP and AS_NEEDED directives.
The parser implemented in this patch is a recursive-descendent one.
It does *not* construct an AST but consumes directives in place and
sets the results to Symtab object, like what Driver is doing.
This should be very fast since less objects are allocated, and
this is also more readable.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.
