registerRelocationNames() function is called to register all known
ELF relocation types to the central registry. Since we have separate
LinkingContext class for each ELF machine type, we need to call the
function for each LinkingContext.
However, the function belonged to TargetHandler instead of LinkingContext.
So we needed to do ctx.getTargetHandler().registerRelocationNames().
This patch removes that redundant getTargetHandler call by moving the
function from TargetHandler to LinkingContext.
Conceptually this patch is small, but in reality it's not that small.
It's because the same code is copied to each architecture.
Most of this patch is just repetition. We need to merge them, but
that cannot be done in this patch.

In r233772, I removed an empty class, DefaultTargetHandler, from
the class hierarchy by merging the class with TargetHandler. I then
found that TargetHandler and its base class, TargetHandlerBase,
are also almost the same.
We need to go deeper.
In this patch, I merged TargetHandlerBase with TargetHandler.
The only difference between them is the existence (or absense)
of a pure virtual function registerRelocationName(). I added that
function to the (new) TargetHandler.
One more thing is that TargetHandler was templated for no reason.
I made it non-templated class.

This adds the LinkingContext parameter to the ELFReader. Previously the flags in
that were needed in the Context was passed to the ELFReader, this made it very
hard to access data structures in the LinkingContext when reading an ELF file.
This change makes the ELFReader more flexible so that required parameters can be
grabbed directly from the LinkingContext.
Future patches make use of the changes.
There is no change in functionality though.

This would permit the ELF reader to check the architecture that is being
selected by the linking process.
This patch also sorts the include files according to LLVM conventions.

These classes are declared in a .cpp file but not used in the same compliation
unit. They seems to have been copy-and-pasted from ELFReader.h.

The main changes are in:
include/lld/Core/Reference.h
include/lld/ReaderWriter/Reader.h
Everything else is details to support the main change.
1) Registration based Readers
Previously, lld had a tangled interdependency with all the Readers. It would
have been impossible to make a streamlined linker (say for a JIT) which
just supported one file format and one architecture (no yaml, no archives, etc).
The old model also required a LinkingContext to read an object file, which
would have made .o inspection tools awkward.
The new model is that there is a global Registry object. You programmatically
register the Readers you want with the registry object. Whenever you need to
read/parse a file, you ask the registry to do it, and the registry tries each
registered reader.
For ease of use with the existing lld code base, there is one Registry
object inside the LinkingContext object.
2) Changing kind value to be a tuple
Beside Readers, the registry also keeps track of the mapping for Reference
Kind values to and from strings. Along with that, this patch also fixes
an ambiguity with the previous Reference::Kind values. The problem was that
we wanted to reuse existing relocation type values as Reference::Kind values.
But then how can the YAML write know how to convert a value to a string? The
fix is to change the 32-bit Reference::Kind into a tuple with an 8-bit namespace
(e.g. ELF, COFFF, etc), an 8-bit architecture (e.g. x86_64, PowerPC, etc), and
a 16-bit value. This tuple system allows conversion to and from strings with
no ambiguities.

Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive
llvm-svn: 192081
Also change some local variable names: "ti" -> "context" and
"_targetInfo" -> "_context".

llvm-svn: 187823
The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.
