main: drop the dependency on llvm-ar

The ar file format is pretty simple and can be implemented by using a Go
library. Use that instead of calling out to llvm-ar.

There are a few limitations to the used package, but that doesn't seem
to matter for our use case (linking compiler-rt for use with ld.lld):

  * no index is created
  * long filenames are truncated
  * no support for archives bigger than 4GB
