This patch introduces generic x86-64 edge kinds, and refactors the MachO/x86-64
backend to use these edge kinds. This simplifies the implementation of the
MachO/x86-64 backend and makes it possible to write generic x86-64 passes and
utilities.
The new edge kinds are different from the original set used in the MachO/x86-64
backend. Several edge kinds that were not meaningfully distinguished in that
backend (e.g. the PCRelMinusN edges) have been merged into single edge kinds in
the new scheme (these edge kinds can be reintroduced later if we find a use for
them). At the same time, new edge kinds have been introduced to convey extra
information about the state of the graph. E.g. The Request*AndTransformTo**
edges represent GOT/TLVP relocations prior to synthesis of the GOT/TLVP
entries, and the 'Relaxable' suffix distinguishes edges that are candidates for
optimization from edges which should be left as-is (e.g. to enable runtime
redirection).
ELF/x86-64 will be refactored to use these generic edges at some point in the
future, and I anticipate a similar refactor to create a generic arm64 support
header too.

Separates link graph creation from linking. This allows raw LinkGraphs to be
created and passed to a link. ObjectLinkingLayer is updated to support emission
of raw LinkGraphs in addition to object buffers.
Raw LinkGraphs can be created by in-memory compilers to bypass object encoding /
decoding (though this prevents caching, as LinkGraphs have do not have an
on-disk representation), and by utility code to add programatically generated
data structures to the JIT target process.
A warning is sent because `std::distance()` returns a signed type so
`CmpHelperEQ()` gets instantiated into a function that compares
differently signed arguments.

LinkGraph::splitBlock will split a block at a given index, returning a new
block covering the range [ 0, index ) and modifying the original block to
cover the range [ index, original-block-size ). Block addresses, content,
edges and symbols will be updated as necessary. This utility will be used
in upcoming improvements to JITLink's eh-frame support.
