This PR allows the use of archive symbols from actual ARM64EC objects. I will also
create a separate PR for a related issue where multiple archives may conflict with
each other. As usual, I tried to keep it compatible with MSVC. I believe that the
approach is close enough, but figuring out the exact details of MSVC behavior has
proven to be difficult in this case. While testing various corner cases, I encountered
some internal linker errors and instances where the results were not quite right.
Nevertheless, I can confirm that anti-dependency symbols are treated differently
with respect to their interaction with archive symbols.
I explored various approaches to this, such as tracking an "EC alias" flag in symbols,
but it added complexity with little to no benefits. The approach in this and the next
PR has led to simpler logic that should be equally robust in practice.
