Subject: [Patch] BaseTools: Support /WHOLEARCHIVE option in VS2015 tool chain

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582

Don't enable this option in the default setting, because it may cause VS2015 linker crash. Platform can enable this option in PlatformPkg.dsc like below:
[BuildOptions]
*_*_*_DLINK2_FLAGS = /WHOLEARCHIVE
