Summary:
Add a new option (/llvmlibempty). If passed and llvm-lib does not give an error, it will create a valid output archive even if empty.
By default, llvm-lib mimicks lib.exe: if given no input files, it doesn't create its output file at all. This is incompatible with some build systems, so we add a command-line option to toggle this compatibility behavior.

And share some code with lld-link.
While here, also add a FIXME about PR42180 and merge r360150 to llvm-lib.

This reorganisation prevents us from cluttering up the top-level lib directory
with more driver libraries such as llvm-dlltool (see D29892).
