The yaml reader is not specific to any file format. This patch moves
it to TargetInfo and makes validate a non virtual interface so that it
can be constructed from a single location.
The same method will be used to create a reader for llvm bitcode
files.

The major changes are:
1) LinkerOptions has been merged into TargetInfo
2) LinkerInvocation has been merged into Driver
3) Drivers no longer convert arguments into an intermediate (core) argument
list, but instead create a TargetInfo object and call setter methods on
it. This is only how in-process linking would work. That is, you can
programmatically set up a TargetInfo object which controls the linking.
4) Lots of tweaks to test suite to work with driver changes
5) Add the DarwinDriver
6) I heavily doxygen commented TargetInfo.h
Things to do after this patch is committed:
a) Consider renaming TargetInfo, given its new roll.
b) Consider pulling the list of input files out of TargetInfo. This will
enable in-process clients to create one TargetInfo the re-use it with
different input file lists.
c) Work out a way for Drivers to format the warnings and error done in
core linking.

I really would have liked to split this patch up, but it would greatly
complicate the lld-core and lld drivers having to deal with both
{Reader,Writer}Option and TargetInfo.
