Summary: On Windows, Posix integer file descriptors are a compatibility layer over native file handles provided by the C runtime. There is a hard limit on the maximum number of file descriptors that a process can open, and the limit is 8192. LLD typically doesn't run into this limit because it opens input files, maps them into memory, and then immediately closes the file descriptor. This prevents it from running out of FDs. For various reasons, I'd like to open handles to every input file and keep them open during linking. That requires migrating MemoryBuffer over to taking open native file handles instead of integer FDs.
