Previously, MemoryBlock automatically extends a requested buffer size to a
multiple of page size because (I believe) doing it was thought to be harmless
and with that you could get more memory (on average 2KiB on 4KiB-page systems)
"for free".
That programming interface turned out to be error-prone. If you request N
bytes, you usually expect that a resulting object returns N for `size()`.
That's not the case for MemoryBlock.
Looks like there is only one place where we take the advantage of
allocating more memory than the requested size. So, with this patch, I
simply removed the automatic size expansion feature from MemoryBlock
and do it on the caller side when needed. MemoryBlock now always
returns a buffer whose size is equal to the requested size.

I was honestly a bit surprised that we didn't do this before. This
patch is to handle "-" as the stdout so that if you pass `-o -` to
lld, for example, it writes an output to stdout instead of file `-`.
I thought that we might want to handle this at a higher level than
FileOutputBuffer, because if we land this patch, we can no longer
create a file whose name is `-` (there's a workaround though; you can
pass `./-` instead of `-`). However, because raw_fd_ostream already
handles `-` as a special file name, I think it's okay and actually
consistent to handle `-` as a special name in FileOutputBuffer.
