LinkingContext and InputGraph are unnecessarily entangled. Most linker
input file data, e.g. the vector containing input files, the next index
of the input file, etc. are managed by InputGraph, but only the current
input file is for no obvious reason managed by LinkingContext.
This patch is to move code from LinkingContext to InputGraph to fix it.
It's now clear who's reponsible for managing input file state, which is
InputGraph, and LinkingContext is now free from that responsibility.
It improves the readability as we now have fewer dependencies between
classes. No functionality change.

insertElementAt()'s third parameter is not only unused but also ignored
if you pass Position::END. The actual meaning of the parameter was obscure.

InputGraph has too many knobs and controls that are not being used. This
patch is to remove dead code, unused features and a class. There are two
things that worth noting, besides simple dead code removal:
1. ControlNode class is removed. We had it as the base class of Group
class, but it provides no functionality particularly meaningful. We now
have shallower class hierarchy that is easier to understand.
2. InputGraph provides a feature to replace a node with its internal data.
It is being used to "expand" some type of node, such as a Linker Script
node, with its actual files. We used to have two options when replacing
it -- ExpandOnly or ExpandAndReplace. ExpandOnly was to expand it but not
remove the node from the tree. There is no use of that option in the code,
so it was a dead feature.

This results in some simplifications to the code where an OwningPtr had to
be used with the previous api and then ownership moved to a unique_ptr for
the rest of lld.

Hidden nodes could be a result of expansion, where a flavor might decide to keep
the node that we want to expand but discard it from being processed by the
resolver.
Verifies with unittests.

Flavors may like to expand InputGraph nodes, when a filenode after parsing
results in more elements. One such example is while parsing GNU linker scripts.
The linker scripts after parsing would result in a lot of filenodes and probably
controlnodes too.
Adds unittests to verify functionality.
