[lld][COFF] Find libraries with relative paths.

This patch is spun out of https://reviews.llvm.org/D151188
and makes it possible for lld-link to find libraries with
relative paths. This will be used later to implement the
changes to autolinking runtimes explained in #63827

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D155268

 COFF Improvements
 -----------------
 
+* lld-link can now find libraries with relative paths that are relative to
+  `/libpath`. Before it would only be able to find libraries relative to the
+  current directory.
+  I.e. ``lld-link /libpath:c:\relative\root relative\path\my.lib`` where before
+  we would have to do ``lld-link /libpath:c:\relative\root\relative\path my.lib``
