[ORC] Allow JITDylib definition generators to return Errors.
Background: A definition generator can be attached to a JITDylib to generate
new definitions in response to queries. For example: a generator that forwards
calls to dlsym can map symbols from a dynamic library into the JIT process on
demand.
If definition generation fails then the generator should be able to return an
error. This allows the JIT API to distinguish between the case where a
generator does not provide a definition, and the case where it was not able to
determine whether it provided a definition due to an error.
The immediate motivation for this is cross-process symbol lookups: If the
remote-lookup generator is attached to a JITDylib early in the search list, and
if a generator failure is misinterpreted as "no definition in this JITDylib" then
lookup may continue and bind to a different definition in a later JITDylib, which
is a bug.
