[lld-link] implement -start-lib and -end-lib

Summary:
This implements -start-lib and -end-lib flags for lld-link, analogous
to the similarly named options in ld.lld. Object files after
-start-lib are included in the link only when needed to resolve
undefined symbols. The -end-lib flag goes back to the normal behavior
of always including object files in the link. This mimics the
semantics of static libraries, but without needing to actually create
the archive file.

Benchmarking

In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
