Revert "Revert "Enable lld for windows""

This reverts commit 61166dc0.

One difference from the earlier change is that import libraries are now
using the '.lib' extension instead of '.a' to prevent clash with
AdbWinApi.a.

Bug: http://b/110800681

The following flags that the binutils linkers support are not
available in lld for Windows:
  -soname
  --no-undefined
  -rpath

Windows also uses "import libraries", which are stub libraries used only
for linking.  The binutils linkers accepted a DLL and treated them as an
import library.  But lld issues the following error:

  lld-link: error: ...DLL: bad file type. Did you specify a DLL instead
  of an import library?

To resolve this, pass '-out-implib=libFoo.lib' to lld when linking
libFoo.dll to get lld to generate an import library.  Add libFoo.lib as
an implicit output to the 'ld' build rule.

Rewrite the shared libraries when building a library/binary to use the
import library instead of the DLL.  As a side-effect, this also uses the
newly-created AdbWinApi.lib that's alongside
development/host/windows/prebuilt/usb/AdbWinApi.dll

Test: Run Windows tests (go/android-llvm-windows-testing) and check
absence of regressions.  Also check that the following commands pass:
      $ adb.exe devices
      $ fastboot.exe devices
