  [ELF] Change some global pointers to unique_ptr

Currently the singleton `config` is assigned by `config = make<Configuration>()`
and (if `canExitEarly` is false) destroyed by `lld::freeArena`.

`make<Configuration>` allocates a stab with `malloc(4096)`. This both wastes
memory and bloats the executable (every type instantiates `BumpPtrAllocator`
which costs more than 1KiB code on x86-64).

(No need to worry about `clang::no_destroy`. Regular invocations (`canExitEarly`
is true) call `_Exit` via llvm::sys::Process::ExitNoCleanup.)
