[LinkerWrapper] Extend with usual pass options (#96704)

The goal of this patch is to enable utilizing LLVM plugin passes and
remarks for GPU offload code at link time. Specifically, this patch
extends clang-linker-wrapper's `--offload-opt` (and consequently
`-mllvm`) to accept the various LLVM pass options that tools like opt
usually accept. Those options include `--passes`, `--load-pass-plugin`,
and various remarks options.

Unlike many other LLVM options that are inherited from linked code by
clang-linker-wrapper (e.g., `-pass-remarks` is already implemented in
`llvm/lib/IR/DiagnosticHandler.cpp`), these options are implemented
separately as needed by each tool (e.g., opt, llc). Fortunately, this
patch is able to handle most of the implementation by passing the option
values to `lto::Config`.

For testing plugin support, this patch uses the simple `Bye` plugin from
LLVM core, but that requires several small Clang test suite config
extensions.

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.
