Instead of generating sections upfront, allow generation by scanning
the object files for input -> output sections mapping. Next, always
strive to keep output sections in the final container sorted as they
appear in the final binary. This makes the linker less messy wrt
handling of output sections sort order for dyld/macOS not to complain.
There's still more work to be done for incremental context though
to make this work but looks promising already.

We were accidentally returning a pointer to stack memory, because these
arguments were passed by value. It's just an accident that stage 1 was
passing these by reference, so things were alright until stage 3.

This is a prelude to a more elaborate work which will implement
`-dead_strip` flag - garbage collection of unreachable atoms. Here,
when sorting sections, we also check that the section is actually
populated with some atoms, and if not, we exclude it from the final
linked image. This can happen when we do not import any symbols
from dynamic libraries in which case we will not be populating
the stubs sections or the GOT table, implying we can skip allocating
those sections. Furthermore, we also make a check that a segment
is actually occupied too, with the exception of `__TEXT` segment
which is non-optional given that it wraps the header and load commands
and thus is required by the `dyld` to perform dynamic linking, and
`__PAGEZERO` which is generally non-optional when the linked image
is an executable. For any other segment, if its section count is
zero, we mark it as dead and skip allocating it and generating
a load command for it.
This commit also includes some minor improvements to the linker such
as refactoring of the segment allocating codepaths, skipping
`__PAGEZERO` generation for dylibs, and skipping generation of zero-sized
atoms for special symbols such as `__mh_execute_header` and `___dso_handle`.
These special symbols are only allocated local and global symbol pair
and their VM addresses is set to the start of the `__TEXT` segment,
but no `Atom` is created, as it's not necessary given that they never
carry any machine code.
Finally, we now always force-link against `libSystem` which turns out
to be required for `dyld` to properly handle `LC_MAIN` load command
on older macOS versions such as 10.15.7.

Parse `-weak-lx` and `-weak_framework x` in the CLI.

This way, if the user wants to use `codesign` (or other tool) they
will not be forced to `-f` force signature update. This matches
the behavior promoted by Apple's `ld64` linker.

`std.os.darwin.MachTask` wraps `mach_port_t` and can be used to issue
kernel calls tied to the wrapped Mach kernel port/task.

repeat for `PLATFORM_*` and `TOOL_*` sets
|
|
This way we will finally be able to share common parsing logic
between different Zig components and 3rd party packages.
|
|
Helper functions such as `commands.sectionName`, etc. should really
belong in `std.macho.section_64` extern struct.

We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.

this makes the app successfully run on the iOS simluator!

With this change zig ld can link with dynamic libraries
contained within a fat/universal file that had multiple
seperate binaries embedded within it for multi-arch
support (in macOS).
Whilst zig can still only create single-architecture
executables - the ability to link with fat libraries is
useful for cases where they are the easiest (or only)
option to link against.

I want the updated Drone CI stuff to get the CI green.

* add preliminary rpath support
* enable shared_library test on x86_64 macOS
|

* `comptime const` is redundant
* don't use `extern enum`; specify a tag type.
`extern enum` is only when you need tags to alias. But aliasing tags
is a smell. I will be making a proposal shortly to remove `extern enum`
from the language.
* there is no such thing as `packed enum`.
* instead of `catch |_|`, omit the capture entirely.
* unused function definition with missing parameter name
* using `try` outside of a function or test

Now, ExportTrie is becoming usable for larger linking contexts such
as linking in multiple object files, or relinking dylibs, etc.

* Convert draft to generate all relevant segments and sections in right places
* Do not prealloc space in text blocks until we can NOP
* Write out LC_LOAD_DYLINKER command
* Add LC_LOAD_DYLIB command in order to specify to load libSystem
* Redo update decl exports (similar to Elf globals, globals need to be contiguous in
memory)

Fixes a bug where the last written load command would accidentally
override the beginning of the __text section. Also defines missing
MachO constants and relocation structs/enums.

Also, link against `libSystem` by default when targeting macOS.
