This adds support for generating Chrome-tracing .json profile traces in the LLD COFF driver. Also add the necessary time scopes, so that the profile trace shows in great detail which tasks are executed. As an example, this is what we see when linking a Unreal Engine executable: 
Remove globals from the lldCOFF library, by moving globals into a context class. This patch mostly moves the config object into COFFLinkerContext.

This reverts commit 7370ff624d217b0f8f7512ca5b651a9b8095a411. (and 47fb8ae2f9a4075de05433ef24f459b6befd1730). This commit broke the symbol type in import libraries generated for mingw autoexported symbols, when the source files were built with LTO. I'll commit a testcase that showcases this issue after the revert.

Essentially takes the lld/Common/Threads.h wrappers and moves them to the llvm/Support/Paralle.h algorithm header. The changes are: - Remove policy parameter, since all clients use `par`. - Rename the methods to `parallelSort` etc to match LLVM style, since they are no longer C++17 pstl compatible. - Move algorithms from llvm::parallel:: to llvm::, since they have "parallel" in the name and are no longer overloads of the regular algorithms. - Add range overloads - Use the sequential algorithm directly when 1 thread is requested (skips task grouping) - Fix the index type of parallelForEachN to size_t. Nobody in LLVM was using any other parameter, and it made overload resolution hard for for_each_n(par, 0, foo.size(), ...) because 0 is int, not size_t. Remove Threads.h and update LLD for that. This is a prerequisite for parallel public symbol processing in the PDB library, which is in LLVM. Reviewed By: MaskRay, aganea Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D79390
