This makes GNU binutils not reject the libraries outright.
GNU ld handles weak externals slightly differently though, so it
can't use them for aliases in import libraries, but this makes GNU
ld able to use the rest of the import libraries.
LLD accepted object files with machine type 0 aka
IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_UNKNOWN.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

The operator == used for exporting a function with a different
name in the DLL compared to the name in the import library
(which is useful for adding linker level aliases for function
in the import library) is a feature distinct and different from
the operator = used for exporting a function with a different
name (both in import library and DLL) than in the implementation
producing the DLL.
When creating an import library using dlltool, from a def file that
contains forwards (Func = OtherDll.Func), this shouldn't affect the
produced import library, which should still behave just as if it
was a normal exported function.
This clears a lot of confusion and subtle misunderstandings, and
avoids a parameter that was used to avoid creating weak aliases
when invoked from lld. (This parameter was added previously due to
the existing conflation of the two features.)

writeArchive returned a pair, but the first element of the pair is always
its first argument on failure, so it doesn't make sense to return it from
the function. This patch change the return type so that it does't return it.

When creating an import library from lld, the cases with
Name != ExtName shouldn't end up as a weak alias, but as a real
export of the new name, which is what actually is exported from
the DLL.
This restores the behaviour of renamed exports to what it was in
4.0.
The other half of this commit, including test, goes into lld.

Previously, the created object files for the import library were broken.
Write the symbol table before the string table. Simplify the code by
using a separate variable Prefix instead of duplicating a few lines.
Also update the coff-weak-exports to actually check that the generated
weak symbols can be found as intended.

When I originally wrote this code, I neglected the fact that the import
library may be created for executables. This name is not the name of
the DLL, but rather the name for the imported module. It will be
embedded into the IAT/ILT reference. Rename it to make it more obvious.

No need in reinterpret_cast<StringTableOffset &> here, as struct coff_symbol Name is a unin

This reverts commit r304561 and re-lands r303490 & co.
The fix was to use "SymbolName" when translating LLD's internal export
list to lib/Object's short export struct. The SymbolName reflects the
actual symbol name, which may include fastcall and stdcall mangling bits
not included in the /EXPORT or .def file EXPORTS name:
