[llvm-gsymutil] Add --symtab-file option to specify separate symbol table file  (#184059)

Add a `--symtab-file` option that allows specifying a separate file from
which
to read the symbol table during GSYM conversion. This is useful when
DWARF and
  function symbols are stored in separate files.

  Example:
`llvm-gsymutil --convert debug_info.elf --symtab-file=symbols.elf -o
output.gsym`

  ## Changes
  - Added `--symtab-file` to `Opts.td` and command-line help.
- Parsed and used `--symtab-file` in `llvm-gsymutil.cpp` during
conversion.
  - Kept architecture validation for thin object inputs.
- Added support for universal Mach-O inputs by selecting the matching
symbol-table slice for each selected
  architecture.
- Reject the case where a multi-arch universal input is converted with a
thin `--symtab-file`; `--arch` can be used
  to narrow the conversion to one architecture.
- Added lit tests covering basic ELF usage, architecture mismatch,
invalid symtab file, and thin/fat Mach-O cases.

  ## Test Plan
  - `ninja -C /tmp/llvm-gsymutil-build llvm-gsymutil`
- `/tmp/llvm-gsymutil-build/bin/llvm-lit -sv
llvm/test/tools/llvm-gsymutil/X86/elf-symtab-file.yaml llvm/test/tools/
  llvm-gsymutil/ARM_AArch64/fat-macho-symtab-file.yaml`

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.
