[ELF] ScriptLexer: generate tokens lazily

The current tokenize-whole-file approach has a few limitations.

* Lack of state information: `maybeSplitExpr` is needed to parse
  expressions. It's infeasible to add new states to behave more like GNU
  ld.
* `readInclude` may insert tokens in the middle, leading to a time
  complexity issue with N-nested `INCLUDE`.
* line/column information for diagnostics are inaccurate, especially
  after an `INCLUDE`.
* `getLineNumber` cannot be made more efficient without significant code
  complexity and memory consumption. https://reviews.llvm.org/D104137

The patch switches to a traditional lexer that generates tokens lazily.

* `atEOF` behavior is modified: we need to call `peek` to determine EOF.
* `peek` and `next` cannot call `setError` upon `atEOF`.
* Since `consume` no longer reports an error upon `atEOF`, the idiom `while (!errorCount() && !consume(")"))`
  would cause a dead loop. Use `while (peek() != ")" && !atEOF()) { ... } expect(")")` instead.
* An include stack is introduced to handle `readInclude`. This can be
  utilized to address #93947 properly.
* `tokens` and `pos` are removed.
* `commandString` is reimplemented. Since it is used in -Map output,
  `\n` needs to be replaced with space.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
