As an optimization for ld64 sometimes it can be useful to not export any
symbols for top level binaries that don't need any exports, to do this
you can pass `-exported_symbols_list /dev/null`, or new with Xcode 14
(ld64 816) there is a `-no_exported_symbols` flag for the same behavior.
This reproduces this behavior where previously an empty exported symbols
list file would have been ignored.

It seems like we are overly asserting when running `-dead_strip` with
exported symbols. ld64 treats exported private extern symbols as a liveness
root. Loosen the assert to match ld64's behavior.

... to use hyphens instead of underscores, making it consistent with
our other substitutions like %no-arg-lld and %lld-watchos.

autohide symbols behaves similarly to private_extern symbols.
However, LD64 allows exporting autohide symbols. LLD currently does not.
This patch allows LLD to export them.

This matches ld64's behavior, and makes it easier to fit LLD
into existing build systems.

In particular, we should apply the `-undefined` behavior to all
such symbols, include those that are specified via the command line
(i.e. `-e`, `-u`, and `-exported_symbol`). ld64 supports this too.

Symbols explicitly exported via command-line options `--exported_symbol SYM` and `--exported_symbols_list FILE` must be defined. Before this fix, lazy symbols defined in archives would be left to languish. We now force them to be included in the linked output.

When I added this assert in D93609, it asserted that a symbol that
is privateExtern is also isExternal().
In D98381 the privateExtern check moved into shouldExportSymbol()
but the assert didn't -- now it checked that _every_ non-exported
symbol is isExternal(), which isn't true. Move the assert into the
privateExtern check where it used to be.
Fixes PR50098.

- the macro seems needlessly clever -- shorter and imho clearer without it
- give all filenames an extension so they look like filenames
- rename .private_extern symbol from _private to _private_extern
to prepare for follow-up that adds a truly private symbol
No behavior change.

This fixes defects in D98223 [lld-macho] implement options -(un)exported_symbol(s_list):
* disallow export of hidden symbols
* verify that whitelisted literal names are defined in the symbol table
* reflect export-status overrides in `nlist` attribute of `N_EXT` or `N_PEXT`
Thanks to @thakis for raising these issues

Implement command-line options to alter a dylib's exported-symbols list:
* `-exported_symbol*` options override the default export list. The export list is compiled according to the command-line option(s) only.
* `-unexported_symbol*` options hide otherwise public symbols.
* `-*exported_symbol PATTERN` options specify a single literal or glob pattern.
* `-*exported_symbols_list FILE` options specify a file containing a series of lines containing symbol literals or glob patterns. Whitespace and `#`-prefix comments are stripped.
Note: This is a simple implementation of the primary use case. ld64 has much more complexity surrounding interactions with other options, many of which are obscure and undocumented. We will start simple and complexity as necessary.
