It's useful for the memory managers that are allocating a section to know what the name of the section is.
At a minimum, this is useful for low-level debugging - it's customary for JITs to be able to tell you what
memory they allocated, and as part of any such dump, they should be able to tell you some meta-data about
what each allocation is for. This allows clients that supply their own memory managers to do this.
Additionally, we also envision the SectionName being useful for passing meta-data from within LLVM to an LLVM
client.
This changes both the C and C++ APIs, and all of the clients of those APIs within LLVM. I'm assuming that
it's safe to change the C++ API because that API is allowed to change. I'm assuming that it's safe to change
the C API because we haven't shipped the API in a release yet (LLVM 3.3 doesn't include the MCJIT memory
management C API).

the C API to provide their own way of allocating JIT memory (both code
and data) and finalizing memory permissions (page protections, cache
flush).

MCJIT on Windows requires an explicit target triple with "-elf" appended to generate objects in ELF format. The common test framework was setting up this triple, but it wasn't passed to the C API in the test.

CodeModel: It's now possible to create an MCJIT instance with any CodeModel you like. Previously it was only possible to
create an MCJIT that used CodeModel::JITDefault.
EnableFastISel: It's now possible to turn on the fast instruction selector.
The CodeModel option required some trickery. The problem is that previously, we were ensuring future binary compatibility in
the MCJITCompilerOptions by mandating that the user bzero's the options struct and passes the sizeof() that he saw; the
bindings then bzero the remaining bits. This works great but assumes that the bitwise zero equivalent of any field is a
sensible default value.
But this is not the case for LLVMCodeModel, or its internal equivalent, llvm::CodeModel::Model. In both of those, the default
for a JIT is CodeModel::JITDefault (or LLVMCodeModelJITDefault), which is not bitwise zero.
Hence this change introduces LLVMInitializeMCJITCompilerOptions(), which will initialize the user's options struct with
defaults. The user will use this in the same way that they would have previously used memset() or bzero(). MCJITCAPITest.cpp
illustrates the change, as does the comment in ExecutionEngine.h.
