[LLD] Implement /guard:[no]longjmp

Details

Summary

This protects calls to longjmp from transferring control to arbitrary
program points. Instead, longjmp calls are limited to the set of
registered setjmp return addresses.

This also implements /guard:nolongjmp to allow users to link in object
files that call setjmp that weren't compiled with /guard:cf. In this
case, the linker will approximate the set of address taken functions,
but it will leave longjmp unprotected.

I used the following program to test, compiling it with different -guard
flags:

$ cl -c t.c -guard:cf
$ lld-link t.obj -guard:cf

#include <setjmp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
jmp_buf buf;
void g() {
  printf("before longjmp\n");
  fflush(stdout);
  longjmp(buf, 1);
}
void f() {
  if (setjmp(buf)) {
    printf("setjmp returned non-zero\n");
    return;
  }
  g();
}
int main() {
  f();
  printf("hello world\n");
}

In particular, the program aborts when the code is compiled *without*
-guard:cf and linked with -guard:cf. That indicates that longjmps are
protected.

Overall looking pretty good. A few minor comments.

lld/COFF/Config.h
75

Since we are using enum class above, I'd use enum class too.

lld/COFF/DriverUtils.cpp
135

I'd write these if-else-ifs in the same order as the enum values. I.e. no, nolongjmp and full.

137–139

I'd combine the two else ifs like Args.equals_lower() || Args.equals_lower()

lld/COFF/Writer.cpp
925

This is the same as Config->GuardCF == Full?

LGTM

lld/COFF/Config.h
75

I don't think you need uint8_t anymore because you are not using these enum values as integers.

76–78

I'd remove = 0, = 1 and = 2 because they are not compared by < nor >.
