  -----------
  [lld][ELF] Handle archive special casing in Input Sections (#119293)

According to the binutils spec:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Input-Section-Basics.html

You should be able to specify all files in an archive using this syntax
`archivename:` , however, lld currently will only accept `archivename:*`
to match all files within an archive.

This patch will, only when necessary, create a copy of the file
specification and add an implicit wildcard `*` to the end. It also
updates the filename-spec linkerscript test to check for this behavior.
