This adds support for reading the "bigobj" variant of COFF produced by
cl's /bigobj and mingw's -mbig-obj.
The most significant difference that bigobj brings is more than 2**16
sections to COFF.
bigobj brings a few interesting differences with it:
- It doesn't have a Characteristics field in the file header.
- It doesn't have a SizeOfOptionalHeader field in the file header (it's
only used in executable files).
- Auxiliary symbol records have the same width as a symbol table entry.
Since symbol table entries are bigger, so are auxiliary symbol
records.
Write support will come soon.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.

Add type name mappings for the ARM COFF relocations. This allows for objdump to
provide a more useful description of relocations in disassembly inline form.

This has the following advantages:
* Less code.
* The old ELF implementation was wrong for non-relocatable objects.
* The old ELF implementation (and I think MachO) was wrong for thumb.
No current testcase since this is only used from MCJIT and it only uses
relocatable objects and I don't think it supports thumb yet.

This reverts commit r205479.
It turns out that nm does use addresses, it is just that every reasonable
relocatable ELF object has sections with address 0. I have no idea if those
exist in reality, but it at least it shows that llvm-nm should use the name
address.
The added test was includes an unusual .o file with non 0 section addresses. I
created it by hacking ELFObjectWriter.cpp.
Really sorry for the churn.

What llvm-nm prints depends on the file format. On ELF for example, if the
file is relocatable, it prints offsets. If it is not, it prints addresses.
Since it doesn't really need to care what it is that it is printing, use the
generic term value.
Fix or implement getSymbolValue to keep llvm-nm working.
llvm-svn: 205479
Some targets require more than one relocation entry to perform a relocation.
This change allows processRelocationRef to process more than one relocation
entry at a time by passing the relocation iterator itself instead of just
the relocation entry.

NumberOfRelocations field in COFF section table is only 16-bit wide. If an
object has more than 65535 relocations, the number of relocations is stored
to VirtualAddress field in the first relocation field, and a special flag
(IMAGE_SCN_LNK_NRELOC_OVFL) is set to Characteristics field.
In test we cheated a bit. I made up a test file so that it has
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_NRELOC_OVFL flag but the number of relocations is much smaller
than 65535. This is to avoid checking in a large test file just to test a
file with many relocations.

The current state of affairs has auxiliary symbols described as a big
bag of bytes. This is less than satisfying, it detracts from the YAML
file as being human readable.
Instead, allow for symbols to optionally contain their auxiliary data.
This allows us to have a much higher level way of describing things like
weak symbols, function definitions and section definitions.
This depends on D3105.
