getSymbolValue now returns a value that in convenient for most callers:
* 0 for undefined
* symbol size for common symbols
* offset/address for symbols the rest
Code that needs something more specific can check getSymbolFlags.

This function can really fail since the string table offset can be out of
bounds.
Using ErrorOr makes sure the error is checked.
Hopefully a lot of the boilerplate code in tools/* can go away once we have
a diagnostic manager in Object.

make_error_code(object_error) is slow because object::object_category()
uses a ManagedStatic variable. But the real problem is that the function is
called too frequently. This patch uses std::error_code() instead of
object_error::success. In most cases, we return "success", so this patch
reduces number of function calls to that function.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

This makes the buffer ownership on error conditions very natural. The buffer
is only moved out of the argument if an object is constructed that now
owns the buffer.
llvm-svn: 211546
This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.

This interface allows IRObjectFile to be implemented without having dummy
methods for all section and segment related methods.
Both llvm-ar and llvm-nm are changed to use it. Unfortunately the mangler is
still not plugged in since it requires some refactoring to make a Module hold
a DataLayout.

identify_magic is not free, so we should avoid calling it twice. The argument
also makes it cheap for createBinary to just forward to createObjectFile.
