This should allow llvm-ar to be used instead of gnu ar + plugin in a LTO
build. I will add a release note about it once I finish a LTO bootstrap with it.

This is just enough to get "llvm-ranlib foo.a" working and tested. Making
llvm-ranlib a symbolic link to llvm-ar doesn't work so well with llvm's option
parsing, but ar's option parsing is mostly custom anyway.
This patch also removes the -X32_64 option. Looks like it was just added in
r10297 as part of implementing the current command line parsing. I can add it
back (with a test) if someone really has AIX portability problems without it.

This fixes two bugs is lib/Object that the use in llvm-ar found:
* In OS X created archives, the name can be padded with nulls. Strip them.
* In the constructor, remember the first non special member and use that in
begin_children. This makes sure we skip all special members, not just the
first one.
The change to llvm-ar itself consist of
* Using lib/Object for reading archives instead of ArchiveReader.cpp.
* Writing the modified archive directly, instead of creating an in memory
representation.
The old Archive library was way more general than what is needed, as can
be seen by the diffstat of this patch.
Having llvm-ar using lib/Object now opens the way for creating regular symbol
tables for both native objects and bitcode files so that we can use those
archives for LTO.

Always use an exit code of 1, but print the help message if useful.
Remove the exception handling tag in llvm-as, llvm-dis and
llvm-bcanalyzer, where it isn't used.
