Set up basic infrastructure for 64-bit ARM architecture support in JITLink. It allows for loading a minimal object file and resolving a single relocation. Advanced features like GOT and PLT handling or relaxations were intentionally left out for the moment.
This patch follows the idea to keep implementations for ARM (32-bit) and Aaarch64 (64-bit) separate, because:
* it might be easier to share code with the MachO "arm64" JITLink backend
* LLVM has individual targets for ARM and Aaarch64 as well

Some files still contained the old University of Illinois Open Source
Licence header. This patch replaces that with the Apache 2 with LLVM
Exception licence.

This patch is the initial support, it implements translation from object file to JIT link graph, and very few relocations were supported. Currently, the test file ELF_pc_indirect.s is passed, the HelloWorld program(compiled with mno-relax flag) can be linked correctly and run on instruction emulator correctly.
In the downstream implementation, I have implemented the GOT, PLT function, and EHFrame and some optimization will be implement soon. I will organize the code in to patches, then gradually send it to upstream.

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.
Distinguish objects by target properties address size, endian and machine architecture. So far we only
support x86-64 (ELFCLASS64, ELFDATA2LSB, EM_X86_64).

This initial implementation supports section and symbol parsing, but no
relocation support. It enables JITLink to link and execute ELF relocatable
objects that do not require relocations.
