LOG: [lld-macho][nfc] Comments and style fixes

Added some comments (particularly around finalize() and
finalizeContents()) as well as doing some rephrasing / grammar fixes for
existing comments.

Also did some minor style fixups, such as by putting methods together in
a class definition and having fields of similar types next to each
other.
