Summary:
1. Use stream 0 only for combined module. Previously if combined module was not
processes ThinLTO used the stream for own output. However small changes in input,
could trigger combined module and shuffle outputs making life of llvm::LTO harder.
2. Always process combined module and write output to stream 0. Processing empty
combined module is cheap and allows llvm::LTO users to avoid implementing processing
which is already done in llvm::LTO.

Now that we have a way to mark GlobalValues as local we can use the symbol
resolutions that the linker plugin provides as part of lto/thinlto link
step to refine the compilers view on what symbols will end up being local.
Originally commited as r317374, but reverted in r317395 to update some missed
tests.

This way dead stripping results are recorded in combined summary and
can be used in regular LTO passes.

Move LTO::run() to a "run" subcommand so that we can introduce new subcommands
for testing different parts of the LTO implementation.
This doesn't use llvm::cl subcommands because it doesn't appear to be currently
possible to pass an argument not associated with a subcommand to a subcommand
(e.g. -lto-use-new-pm, -mcpu=yonah).

This reverts commit r293970.
After more discussion, this belongs to the linker side and
there is no added value to do it at this level.

When a symbol is not exported outside of the
DSO, it is can be hidden. Usually we try to internalize
as much as possible, but it is not always possible, for
instance a symbol can be referenced outside of the LTO
unit, or there can be cross-module reference in ThinLTO.
This is a recommit of r293912 after fixing build failures,
and a recommit of r293918 after fixing LLD tests.

Summary:
Using the linker-supplied list of "preserved" symbols, we can compute
the list of "dead" symbols, i.e. the one that are not reachable from
a "preserved" symbol transitively on the reference graph.
Right now we are using this information to mark these functions as
non-eligible for import.
The impact is two folds:
- Reduction of compile time: we don't import these functions anywhere
or import the function these symbols are calling.
- The limited number of import/export leads to better internalization.
