it is highly specific to the object file that will be generated in the end,
this introduces a new TargetLoweringObjectFile interface that is implemented
for each of ELF/MachO/COFF/Alpha/PIC16 and XCore.
Though still is still a brutal and ugly refactoring, this is a major step
towards goodness.
This patch also:
1. fixes a bunch of dangling pointer problems in the PIC16 backend.
2. disables the TargetLowering copy ctor which PIC16 was accidentally using.
3. gets us closer to xcore having its own crazy target section flags and
pic16 not having to shadow sections with its own objects.
4. fixes wierdness where ELF targets would set CStringSection but not
CStringSection_. Factor the code better.
5. fixes some bugs in string lowering on ELF targets.

'unnamed' bss section, but some impls would want a named one. Since
they don't have consistent behavior, just make each target do their
own thing, instead of doing something "sortof common" then having
targets change immutable objects later.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

Added gp_rel relocations to support addressing small section contents.
Added command line to specify small section threshold in bytes.

Added HasABICall and HasAbsoluteCall (equivalent to gcc -mabicall and
-mno-shared). HasAbsoluteCall is not implemented but HasABICall is the
default for o32 ABI. Now, both should help into a more accurate
relocation types implementation.
Added IsLinux is needed to choose between asm directives.
Instruction name strings cleanup.
AsmPrinter improved.

providing a misleading facility. It's used once in the MIPS backend
and hardcoded as "\t.globl\t" everywhere else.

- Modifications from the last patch included
(issues pointed by Evan Cheng are now fixed).
- Added more MipsI instructions.
- Added more patterns to match branch instructions.
