lld-link: Reject more than one resource .obj file

Users are exepcted to pass all .res files to the linker, which then
merges all the resource in all .res files into a tree structure and then
converts the final tree structure to a .obj file with .rsrc$01 and
.rsrc$02 sections and then links that.

If the user instead passes several .obj files containing such resources,
the correct thing to do would be to have custom code to merge the trees
in the resource sections instead of doing normal section merging -- but
link.exe rejects if multiple resource obj files are passed in with
LNK4078, so let lld-link do that too instead of silently writing broken
.rsrc sections in that case.

The only real way to run into this is if users manually convert .res
files to .obj files by running cvtres and then handing the resulting
.obj files to lld-link instead, which in practice likely never happens.

(lld-link is slightly stricter than link.exe now: If link.exe is passed
one .obj file created by cvtres, and a .res file, for some reason it
just emits a warning instead of an error and outputs strange looking
data. lld-link now errors out on mixed input like this.)

One way users could accidentally run into this is the following
scenario: If a .res file is passed to lib.exe, then lib.exe calls
cvtres.exe on the .res file before putting it in the output .lib.
(llvm-lib currently doesn't do this.)
link.exe's /wholearchive seems to only add obj files referenced from the
static library index, but lld-link current really adds all files in the
archive. So if lld-link /wholearchive is used with .lib files produced
by lib.exe and .res files were among the files handed to lib.exe, we
previously silently produced invalid output, but now we error out.

link.exe's /wholearchive semantics on the other hand mean that it
wouldn't load the resource object files from the .lib file at all.
Since this scenario is probably still an unlikely corner case,
the difference in behavior here seems fine -- and lld-link might have to
change to use link.exe's /wholearchive semantics in the future anyways.

Vaguely related to PR42180.
