clang archiver tool is llvm-ar on Windows and ar on other platforms.
MinGW always uses ar. Replace shell script (Unix-only) that calls ar
with a Python script (OS-independent) that calls an appropriate archiver
tool selected at configuration time. Move the logic not to generate
empty sources into pmdinfogen.

Common Object File Format (COFF) is used on Windows in place of ELF.
Add COFF parser to pmdinfogen. Also add an argument to specify input
file format, which is selected at configure time based on the target.

Using a high-level, interpreted language simplifies maintenance and
build process. Furthermore, ELF handling is delegated to pyelftools
package. Original logic is kept, the copyright recognizes that.
