This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

This allows the compiler/assembly programmer to switch back to a
section. This in turn fixes the bootstrap failure on powerpc (tested
on gcc110) without changing the ppc codegen at all.
I will try to cleanup the various getELFSection overloads in a followup patch.
Just using a default argument now would lead to ambiguities.

COFF COMDATs (for selection kinds other than 'select any') require at
least one non-section symbol in the symbol table.
Satisfy this by morally enhancing the linkage from private to internal.

If a function is going in an unique section (because of -ffunction-sections
for example), putting a jump table in .rodata will keep .rodata alive and
that will keep alive any other function that also has a jump table.
Instead, put the jump table in a unique section that is associated with the
function.

Add MachO 32-bit (i.e. arm and x86) support for replacing global GOT equivalent
symbol accesses. Unlike 64-bit targets, there's no GOTPCREL relocation, and
access through a non_lazy_symbol_pointers section is used instead.

This patch unifies the comdat and non-comdat code paths. By doing this
it add missing features to the comdat side and removes the fixed
section assumptions from the non-comdat side.
In ELF there is no one true section for "4 byte mergeable" constants.
We are better off computing the required properties of the section
and asking the context for it.

The problem in the original patch was not switching back to .text after printing
an eh table.
Original message:
On ELF, put PIC jump tables in a non executable section.
Fixes PR22558.

Add support for having multiple sections with the same name and comdat.
Using this in combination with -ffunction-sections allows LLVM to output a .o
file with mulitple sections named .text. This saves space by avoiding long
unique names of the form .text.<C++ mangled name>.

For #pragma comment(linker, ...) MSVC expects the comment string to be quoted, but for #pragma comment(lib, ...) the compiler itself quotes the library name.
Since this distinction disappears by the time the directive reaches the backend, move quoting for the "lib" version to the frontend.

This reverts commit r228939.
The commit broke something in the output of exception handling tables on
darwin x86-64.

regressions for LLDB on Linux. Rafael indicated on lldb-dev that we
should just go ahead and revert these but that he wasn't at a computer.
The patches backed out are as follows:
r228980: Add support for having multiple sections with the name and ...
r228889: Invert the section relocation map.
r228888: Use the existing SymbolTableIndex intsead of doing a lookup.
r228886: Create the Section -> Rel Section map when it is first needed.
These patches look pretty nice to me, so hoping its not too hard to get
them re-instated. =D

Parts of llvm were not expecting it and we wouldn't print
the entity size of the section.
Given what comdats are used for, having SHF_MERGE sections would be
just a small improvement, so just disable it for now.
Fixes pr22463.

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.
