ELF symbol table field st_other support,

excluding visibility bits.

Generic STO handling at the Target level.

The st_other field of the ELF symbol table is one
byte in size. The first 2 bytes are used for generic
visibility and are currently handled by llvm.

The other six bits are processor specific and need 
to be set at the target level.

A couple of notes:

The new static methods for accessing and setting the "other"
flags in include/llvm/MC/MCELF.h match the style guide
and not the other methods in the file. I don't like the
inconsistency, but feel I should follow the prescribed 
lowerUpper() convention.

STO_ value definitions are not specified in gnu land as 
consistently as the STT_ and STB_ fields. Probably because
the latter were defined in a standards doc and the former
defined partially in code. I have stuck with the full byte
definition of the flags.
