Fix Issue 16962 - rdmd --build-only --force -c main.d fails: ./main: No such

The actual fix was done by the revert. This simply adds a test.

Another regression: issue 16978

Since there has been no reply from ag0aep6g for 5 days, I am going to revert
that PR and add tests for the regressions. Then they or anyone else can have a
go at it.

--- Comment #12 from Vladimir Panteleev  ---
ag0aep6g: There is now an outdated comment in rdmd:

// When building libraries, DMD does not generate object files.
// Instead, it uses the -od parameter as the location for the library file.
// Thus, override objDir (which is normally a temporary directory)
// to be the target output directory.

DMD will now use -c even with -lib. Was this something that changed due to your
recent changes?

--- Comment #11 from Vladimir Panteleev  ---
 ag0aep6g: Since implementing -c directly is more complicated with the recent
changes, can we emulate by using -lib and extracting the lib file's contents or
such?

Timothee, can you substitute -c with -lib in your use case? If so, we could fix
the -od problem and make -c an explicitly unsupported switch like -o-.

It may indeed be worthwhile to support -c as in "solve all dependencies and
produce a big .o file ready for linking". There is no easy way to do that with
either dmd or rdmd. Alternatively we could use a --no-link flag but -c seems
more direct. Vladimir, what do you think?

Use case: when dmd's built-in linker magic isn't good enough (eg 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.765.1481492407.9448.digitalmar...@puremagic.com
where i have to first compile then link to get -pie but I keep running into
similar issues where i want to link seperately because the default isn't good
enough)

There is a known problem with -lib and -od:

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14296

Admittedly it's my fault as my commit introduced the regression, however the
underlying bug is that DMD treats -od differently depending on whether -lib is
passed or not, which I did not expect.

Sorry, what is the use case of using -c ? I think it working was a mere
accident. If you want to syntax-check the file, use dmd (not rdmd) with -o-. Or
do you want to compile everything into a single object file for some reason?

Found another one while looking into this:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16966

Regarding the bugs here:

The -of=/-od= thing (comment 3) seems to be a simple oversight. rdmd has just
not been thought of when the feature was implemented in dmd. Should be easy to
fix.

-o- not working (comment 2) seems to a deliberate restriction.

Supporting -c as in the summary may be some work. I must have missed that
scenario completely when doing .
Problem is that rdmd now treats the root module specially: compiles it
separately, links everything together in a separate step. That doesn't go
naturally with -c, as far as I see. May have to detect -c and do things
completely different then.

-lib not working with relative paths (comment 3) seems odd. I hope it's just a
simple bug, and not a design flaw. I haven't investigated.

I'm going to look into this further, but it may take me a while. If anyone else
wants to have a go, that would be great.

also broken:
rdmd --build-only --force -od=/tmp/bar/ main.d

std.file.FileException@std/file.d(679): =/tmp/bar/main: No such file or
directory
=> rdmd doesn't seem to understand the new '=' syntax in '-od=' even though dmd
does (DMD64 D Compiler v2.072.1)

the only thing that works is:

rdmd --build-only --force -lib -od/tmp/bar/ main.d
rdmd --build-only --force -od/tmp/bar/ main.d

but NOT these:
s/-od/-od=/
s/-lib/-c/
or when we replace absolute path in od by relative path
