[PATCH] LibDriver, llvm-lib: introduce.

[Rafael Espíndola]

The lib format is really similar to the .a format.

I guess the only question I have about this direction is how would it
compare with having lld fork+exec llvm-lib.exe and implementing
llvm-lib.exe in the same binary as llvm-ar.exe (similar to how we do
for llvm-ranlib.exe).
