This moves the generation of link file lists into the build system instead of doing it ad-hoc outside of the build. For this, we have a new
WriteAuxiliaryFile
tool and associated command that should be usable for any kind of writing of auxiliary files during the build.Note that this change opted to not touch the existing infrastructure for in-process tools, so any inputs that are needed for the file generation will need to be flattened into a generic array of input nodes. The different types of file generation are keyed off a virtual node at the start of that array.
