[LLD] [MinGW] Look for other library patterns with -l

GNU ld looks for a number of other patterns than just lib<name>.dll.a
and lib<name>.a.

GNU ld does support linking directly against a DLL without using an
import library. If that's the only match for a -l argument, point out
that the user needs to use an import library, instead of leaving the
user with a puzzling message about the -l argument not being found
at all.

Also convert an existing case of fatal() into error().

Benchmarking

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