Summary

This change adds support for joined parameters for /D, /U and /I options like rc.exe, and fixes a problem encountered while trying to cross-compile from Linux to Windows using a custom cmake toolchain, ninja, llvm-rc, and MSVC headers + libraries extracted from the Visual Studio 2019 build tools.

As far as I know, CMake doesn't know it's calling llvm-rc on Linux, and generates the same command-line arguments it would normally feed to rc.exe on Windows. It should also be noted that in order to get partial success cross-compiling using llvm-rc, I had to patch my .rc scripts and make a minor modification to CMake to disable the cmcldeps wrapper. Patching llvm-rc to accept the arguments as joined worked around the problem that CMake generated the command-line parameters as joined, which works with rc.exe but not with llvm-rc.

A very similar change has been done for similar reasons for the /fo flag, but didn't apply the change to /D, /U and /I: https://reviews.llvm.org/D54191

This is my first contribution to LLVM, so feel free to request anything necessary to fit within the contribution guidelines.

Please add testcases for these changes. You could e.g. change some of the existing tests in test/tools/llvm-rc so that both forms are exercised, or add a new test there that uses that form.
