[lld/mac] Support writing zippered dylibs and bundles

Summary

With -platform_version flags for two distinct platforms,
this writes a LC_BUILD_VERSION header for each.

The motivation is that this is needed for self-hosting with lld as linker
after D124059.

To create a zippered output at the clang driver level, pass

-target arm64-apple-macos -darwin-target-variant arm64-apple-ios-macabi

to create a zippered dylib.

(In Xcode's clang, -darwin-target-variant is spelled just -target-variant.)

(If you pass -target arm64-apple-ios-macabi -target-variant arm64-apple-macos
instead, ld64 crashes!)

This results in two -platform_version flags being passed to the linker.

ld64 also verifies that the iOS SDK version is at least 13.1. We don't do that
yet. But ld64 also does that for other platforms and we don't. So we need to
do that at some point, but not in this patch.

Only dylib and bundle outputs can be zippered.

I verified that a Catalyst app linked against a dylib created with

clang -shared foo.cc -o libfoo.dylib \
      -target arm64-apple-macos \
      -target-variant arm64-apple-ios-macabi \
      -Wl,-install_name,@rpath/libfoo.dylib \
      -fuse-ld=$PWD/out/gn/bin/ld64.lld

runs successfully. (The app calls a function f() in libfoo.dylib
that returns a const char* "foo", and NSLog(@"%s")s it.)

ld64 is a bit more permissive when writing zippered outputs,
see references to "unzippered twins". That's not implemented yet.
(If anybody wants to implement that, D124275 is a good start.)

ld64 allows this, but it's not used for anything as far as I can tell. So let's not allow it for now.

This is just a warning in ld64 (it uses the last flag in that case). Let's see if we can make it an error.

Moved up so that it's set in time for the new outputType check in parsePlatformVersions

This matches ld64.

I think otool changes should be split off into a separate patch. They should also be tested and documented in isolation.
