When adding an archive member with a problem, e.g. a new bitcode with an
old archiver, containing an unsupported attribute, or an ELF file with a
malformed symbol table, the archiver would throw away the error and
simply add the member to the archive without any symbol entries. This
meant that the resultant archive could be silently unusable when not
using --whole-archive, and result in unexpected undefined symbols.
This change fixes this issue by addressing two FIXMEs and only throwing
away not-an-object errors. However, this meant that some LLD tests which
didn't need symbol tables and were using invalid members deliberately to
test the linker's malformed input handling no longer worked, so this
patch also stops the archiver from looking for symbols in an object if
it doesn't require a symbol table, and updates the tests accordingly.

file-class.a was used to diagnose the "corrupted ELF file: invalid file class"
error when the object was fetched from the archive.
file-class.a contained an object of 16 bytes size. I replaced it with
an echo call (because it is impossible to use yaml2obj for that, and I am
not sure it is worth to support), and also increased its size to 18 bytes.
That allowed to also test a case when such object is a regular input and not an
archive member (we have a bit different logic for these cases).
