Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

It looks like clang-tools-extra/unittests/cpp11-migrate/TransformTest.cpp
depends on the behaviour of the old one on Windows. Maybe a difference
between GetCurrentDirectoryA and GetCurrentDirectoryW?

__builtin_unwind_init() is an undocumented gcc intrinsic which has this effect,
and is used in libgcc_eh.

For consistency, change the address in the test case from 0xDEADBEEF to
0xCAFEBABE since 0xCAFEBABE that actually has a 2-byte alignment.

The current functionality is extremely basic and a bit rough around the
edges, but it will flesh out in future commits.

This is in preparation for switching the clang driver over to using LLVM's
Option library. Richard Smith introduced most of these changes to the clang
driver in r167638.

I've been comparing the object file output of LLVM's integrated
assembler against the external assembler on PowerPC, and one
area where differences still remain are in DWARF sections.
In particular, the GNU assembler generates .debug_frame and
.debug_line sections using a code alignment factor of 4, since
all PowerPC instructions have size 4 and must be aligned to a
multiple of 4. However, current MC code hard-codes a code
alignment factor of 1.
This patch changes this by adding a "minimum instruction alignment"
data element to MCAsmInfo and using this as code alignment factor.
This requires passing a MCContext into MCDwarfLineAddr::Encode
and MCDwarfLineAddr::EncodeAdvanceLoc. Note that one caller,
MCDwarfLineAddr::Write, didn't actually have that information
available. However, it turns out that this routine is in fact
never used in the whole code base, so the patch simply removes
it. If it turns out to be needed again at a later time, it
could be re-added with an updated interface.

Most clients have already been moved from Path V1 to V2. The ones using V1
now include PathV1.h explicitly.

COFF header is always present both in executable and in object file. PE header
is present only in executable. So the natural way to handle PE/COFF file is
treating COFF is mandatory header and PE is optional. Current data structre
does not allow it, because PE header includes COFF header. Removing COFF
header will simplify the code to handle PE/COFF files.
