[lld-macho][nfc] Give every SyntheticSection a fake InputSection

Previously, it was difficult to write code that handled both synthetic
and regular sections generically. We solve this problem by creating a
fake InputSection at the start of every SyntheticSection.

This refactor allows us to handle DSOHandle like a regular Defined
symbol (since Defined symbols must be attached to an InputSection), and
paves the way for supporting `__mh_*header` symbols. Additionally, it
simplifies our binding/rebase code.

I did have to extend Defined a little -- it now has a `linkerInternal`
flag, to indicate that `___dso_handle` should not be in the final symbol
table.

I've also added some additional testing for `___dso_handle`.
