This patch adds a new pass, IdataPass, to transform shared atom references
to real references and to construct the .idata section data. With this patch
lld can produce a working Hello World program by linking it against
kernel32.dll and user32.dll.

A hint is an index of the export pointer table in a DLL, at which
PE/COFF loader starts looking for a symbol name. The import library
comes with hints and symbol pairs, and as long as hints are in sync
with the actual symbol table in DLL, the symbols will be resolved
quickly. So, we shouldn't ignore hints but propagate them to an output.

This is the first patch toward full DLL support. With this patch, lld can
