[PATCH] [ELF] Remove {ELF,}GNULinkerScript InputElements.

[Rui Ueyama]

No it's not. We could have handled a linker script using the Registry, but
it wouldn't fit well because the Registry is a mechanism to convert a file
to a File object. We could have generalized the Registry to cover the
linker script, but this is exactly what we are trying to eliminate right
now (an excessive abstraction).

Another (obvious) counter example is response file. This should naturally
be handled by the Driver. What this example means is that being an external
file doesn't always mean that the file should be handled through the
Registry mechanism.
