--no-threads is a name copied from gold.
gold has --no-thread, --thread-count and several other --thread-count-*.
There are needs to customize the number of threads (running several lld
processes concurrently or customizing the number of LTO threads).
Having a single --threads=N is a straightforward replacement of gold's
--no-threads + --thread-count.
--no-threads is used rarely. So just delete --no-threads instead of
keeping it for compatibility for a while.
If --threads= is specified (ELF,wasm; COFF /threads: is similar),
--thinlto-jobs= defaults to --threads=,
otherwise all available hardware threads are used.
There is currently no way to override a --threads={1,2,...}. It is still
a debate whether we should use --threads=all.

And belatedly merge r353268 / r353269.
test/Driver/wasm-toolchain-lto.c currently requires getLLVMRevision()
to return something non-empty to pass. That's hopefully temporary,
but making Version.cpp work is probalby a good idea regardless.
(Note its contents will by default usually be out-of-date, because
llvm_allow_tardy_revision defaults to false.)
Version.inc.in processing has a potentially interesting part which I've punted
on for now (LLD_REVISION and LLD_REPOSITORY are set to empty strings for now).
lld now builds in the gn build. But no symlinks to it are created yet, so it
can't be meaningfully run yet.
