Memory/Perf: For link-mode, isolate file I/O so API can be looped over.
Separating file I/O from compile/link lets the compile/link be done repeatedly in a loop for testing and measuring of performance and memory footprint, including seeing memory growth over time for functional-level memory-leak testing. While the older compile-only mode already had this functionality, and typically showed no memory leaks, SPIR-V uses the link path, has pending "TODO" for memory freeing, and this shows several kilobytes of leaking per compile-link. Most likely, pending merge request 131 will address much of this.
