MachO linker now handles `-needed-l<name>`, `-needed_library=<name>`
and `-needed_framework=<name>`. While on macOS `-l` is equivalent
to `-needed-l`, and `-framework` to `-needed_framework`, it can be
used to the same effect as on Linux if combined with `-dead_strip_dylibs`.
This commit also adds handling for `-needed_library` which is macOS
specific flag only (in addition to `-needed-l`).
Finally, in order to leverage new linker testing harness, this commit
added ability to specify lowering to those flags via `build.zig`:
`linkSystemLibraryNeeded` (and related), and `linkFrameworkNeeded`.
We now ensure the "bss" section is last, which allows us to not
emit this section and let the runtime initialize the memory with 0's instead.
This allows for smaller binaries.
The order of the other segments is arbitrary and does not matter, this may
change in the future.
Includes both traditiona and incremental codepaths with one caveat that
in incremental case, the requested size cannot be smaller than the
default padding size due to prealloc required due to incremental nature
of linking.
Also parse `-headerpad_max_install_names`, however, not actionable just yet -
missing implementation.
Unlike targeting ELF-based OSes such as Linux, resolving system libs
on Darwin should follow one of two strategies: `-search_paths_first`
or `-search_dylibs_first` and hence we defer always forcing linking
a static library to the linker.
Decls will now be put into their respective segment.
e.g. a constant decl will be inserted into the "rodata" segment,
whereas an uninitialized decl will be put in the "bss" segment instead.
Ignore MachO-specific flag -search_paths_first, since it is the default
in zld and ld64.
Also see Jakub's comment[1]:
Changing topic slightly, @motiejus dunno if you noticed, with this
change building arm64 Zig binary fails on macos - it complains about
unknown -search_paths_first flag. This one is an easy fix: we should
ignore it since this is the default behaviour in both ld64 and zld.

Change BigTomb implementation to call to Liveness' implementation
rather than implementing feed() in itself.
This is modelled after the AArch64 backend.
This adds clarification to the getGlobalSymbol doc comments,
as well as renames the `addExternFn` function for MachO to `getGlobalSymbol`.
This function will now be called from 'src/link.zig' as well.
Finally, this also enables compiling zig's libc using LLVM even though
the `fno-LLVM` flag is given.
