Instead of making the linker to create a manifest XML file in the same
directory as the resulting binary, you can embed the XML as a part of
resource into the executable.
In order to do that, the linker first creates a resource script file containing
the XML file, compile it into a binary resource file with RC.EXE, and then
convert it to a COFF file with CVTRES.EXE.

/manifestfile:<path> specifies an alternative manifest file output path.
Default is "<output-path>.manifest" where <output-path> is the executable's
path.

The manifest file is an XML file that conveys some information to the loader,
such as whether the executable needs to run as Administrator or not. This patch
is to parse command line option for manifest file.
Actual XML file generation will be done in a separate patch.

Dead-strip root symbols can be undefined atoms, but should not really be
nonexistent, because dead-strip root symbols should be added to initial
undefined atoms at startup. Whenever you look up its name in the symbol
table, some type of atom will always exist.

-- so that command line options to specify new input files, such as
/defaultlib:foo, is handled properly. Such options were ignored before
this patch.

Changes :-
a) Functionality in InputGraph to insert Input elements at any position
b) Functionality in the Resolver to use nextFile
c) Move the functionality of assigning file ordinals to InputGraph
d) Changes all inputs to MemoryBuffers
e) Remove LinkerInput, InputFiles, ReaderArchive

This patch inverts the return value of these functions, so that they return
"true" on success and "false" on failure. The meaning of boolean return value
was mixed in LLD; for example, InputGraph::validate() returns true on success.
With this patch they'll become consistent.

So that we can determine what the target architecture is. Adding this
field does not mean that we are going to support non-i386 architectures
soon; there are many things to do to support them, and I'm focusing on
i386 now. But this is the first step toward multi architecture support.

Process::GetEnv() uses GetEnvironmentVariableW, which is a Windows API
to get an environment variable and is preferable over getenv().

The compiler is allowed to add a linker option starting with -?<name> to
.drectve section. If the linker can interpret -<name>, it's processed as if
there's no question mark there. If not, such option is silently ignored.
This is a COFF's feature to allow the compiler to emit new linker options
while keeping compatibility with older linkers.
