Add observers to Input Graph

Summary

Make it possible to add observers to an Input Graph, so that files
returned from an Input Graph can be examined before they are
passed to Resolver.

To implement some PE/COFF features we need to know all the symbols
that *can* be solved, including ones in archive files that are not
yet to be read.

Currently, Resolver only maintains a set of symbols that are
already read. It has no knowledge on symbols in skipped files in
an archive file.

There are many ways to implement that. I chose to apply the
observer pattern here because it seems most non-intrusive. We don't
want to mess up Resolver with architecture specific features.
Even in PE/COFF, the feature that needs this mechanism is minor.
So I chose not to modify Resolver, but add a hook to Input Graph.

Maybe it is better to use the llvm::function_ref class to be consistent with main LLVM code.

This is news to me. I would much prefer we use std::function.

So after doing some research, it seems that advanced uses of std::function can fail on VC11 (VS 2012). We're not doing that here, and the buildbots have the final say in what is supported.

Can you also add a test ? Possibly two tests ? One with InputGraphTest and one with YAML ?

You might want to change the observer function to return an ErrorOr,

lib/ReaderWriter/FileArchive.cpp
100–108 ↗(On Diff #9331)

This may be put in one line using std::transform.

std::transform(_symbolMemberMap.begin(),_symbolMemberMap.end(), std::back_inserter(ret), [](const auto &pair){return pair.first;});

I'd prefer std::function too.

Return type of void is intentional. Observers should never fail, and should not do anything other than observing.

lib/ReaderWriter/FileArchive.cpp

It looks more cryptic than the plain for loop. I think it's better to keep the for loop. It might make sense to write it in four lines like this.

std::set<StringRef> ret;
for (const auto &e : _symbolMemberMap)
  ret.insert(e.first)
return ret;
