This patch tidies up the llvm-strings testing by:
1. Adding comments to every test.
2. Getting rid of canned input files, and having the tests generate
them on the fly (this makes the tests self-contained).
3. Adding missing test coverage.
4. Renaming some tests that weren't clear as to their purpose.
5. Adding extra checking of various cases, formatting etc.
6. Removing a test that didn't seem to have any useful purpose for
testing llvm-strings.

The %T lit expansion expands to a common directory shared between all the tests in the same directory, which is unexpected and unintuitive, and more importantly, it's been a source of subtle race conditions and flaky tests. In https://reviews.llvm.org/D35396, it was agreed that it would be best to simply ban %T and only keep %t, which is unique to each test. When a test needs a temporary directory, it can just create one using mkdir %t.
This patch removes %T in llvm.

Revert "test: remove the archive before modifying it"
Revert "test: explicitly use gnu format"
This reverts commits r286778, r286729 and r286767, as they are randomly failing
on many bots (AArch64, x86_64).
