[llvm] annotate interfaces in llvm/ObjCopy and llvm/Object for DLL export (#142668)
## Purpose
This patch is one in a series of code-mods that annotate LLVM’s public
interface for export. This patch annotates the `llvm/ObjCopy` and
`llvm/Object` libraries. These annotations currently have no meaningful
impact on the LLVM build; however, they are a prerequisite to support an
LLVM Windows DLL (shared library) build.
## Background
This effort is tracked in #109483. Additional context is provided in
[this
discourse](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-annotating-llvm-public-interface/85307),
and documentation for `LLVM_ABI` and related annotations is found in the
LLVM repo
[here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/InterfaceExportAnnotations.rst).
The bulk of these changes were generated automatically using the
[Interface Definition Scanner (IDS)](https://github.com/compnerd/ids)
tool, followed formatting with `git clang-format`.
The following manual adjustments were also applied after running IDS on
Linux:
- Add `#include "llvm/Support/Compiler.h"` to files where it was not
auto-added by IDS due to no pre-existing block of include statements.
- Manually annotate template class `CommonArchiveMemberHeader` with
`LLVM_ABI` since IDS ignores templates and this is the simplest solution
for DLL-exporting its child classes because it has methods defined
out-of-line. Seems to be an uncommon situation.
- Explicitly make `Archive` class non-copyable due to the class-level
`LLVM_ABI` annotation.
- Add default constructor to `ELFFile` so it can be instantiated for
DLL-export as a base class.
- Add `LLVM_TEMPLATE_ABI` and `LLVM_EXPORT_TEMPLATE` to exported
instantiated templates.
## Validation
Local builds and tests to validate cross-platform compatibility. This
included llvm, clang, and lldb on the following configurations:
- Windows with MSVC
- Windows with Clang
- Linux with GCC
- Linux with Clang
- Darwin with Clang
