[PATCH] D23721: [gold/ThinLTO] Restore ThinLTO file management in gold plugin

[Mehdi AMINI via llvm-commits]

It seems to me that this should be part of the contract of the API: at the moment all the input buffers are supposed to stay available for the duration of the process.
This is not an issue for mapped file I believe (which I guess every clients are using right now?), but a client that have to decompress buffers in memory before calling the API may be happy to have the ability to release buffers early. We could rework the InputFile to carry the lifetime if needed.
