COFF normally doesn't allow us to describe the alignment of COMMON
symbols.
It turns out that most linkers use the symbol size as a hint as to how
aligned the symbol should be.
However the BFD folks have added a .drectve command, which we
now support as of r219229, that allows us to specify the alignment
precisely. With this in mind, stop rounding sizes up.

The GNU linker supports an -aligncomm directive that allows for power-of-2
alignment of common data. Add support to emit this directive.

Nico Rieck added support for this 32-bit COFF relocation some time ago
for Win64 stuff. It appears that as an oversight, the assembly output
used "foo"@IMGREL32 instead of "foo"@IMGREL, which is what we can parse.
Sadly, there were actually tests that took in IMGREL and put out
IMGREL32, and we didn't notice the inconsistency. Oh well. Now LLVM can
assemble it's own output with slightly more fidelity.

link.exe:
Fuzz testing has shown that COMMON symbols with size > 32 will always
have an alignment of at least 32 and all symbols with size < 32 will
have an alignment of at least the largest power of 2 less than the size
of the symbol.
binutils:
The BFD linker essentially work like the link.exe behavior but with
alignment 4 instead of 32. The BFD linker also supports an extension to
COFF which adds an -aligncomm argument to the .drectve section which
permits specifying a precise alignment for a variable but MC currently
doesn't support editing .drectve in this way.
With all of this in mind, we decide to play a little trick: we can
ensure that the alignment will be respected by bumping the size of the
global to it's alignment.

We had a few bugs:
- We were considering the GVKind instead of just looking at the section
characteristics
- We would never print out 'y' when a section was meant to be unreadable
- We would never print out 's' when a section was meant to be shared
- We translated IMAGE_SCN_MEM_DISCARDABLE to 'n' when it should've meant
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE

A problem with our old behavior becomes observable under x86-64 COFF
when we need a read-only GV which has an initializer which is referenced
using a relocation: we would mark the section as writable. Marking the
section as writable interferes with section merging.
This fixes PR21009.

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.

COFF sections in MC were represented by a tuple of section-name and

Prevent the early elimination of sections in the object writer. There may be
references to the section itself by other symbols, which may potentially not be
possible to resolve. ML (Visual Studio's Macro Assembler) also seems to retain
empty sections.
The elimination of symbols and sections which are unused should really occur at
the link phase. This will not cause any change in the resulting binary, simply
in the generated object files.
The adjustments to the other unit tests account for the fluctuating section
index caused by the appearance of sections which were previously discarded.

* Section association cannot use just the section name as many
sections can have the same name. With this patch, the comdat symbol in
an assoc section is interpreted to mean a symbol in the associated
section and the mapping is discovered from it.
* Comdat symbols were not being set correctly. Instead we were getting
whatever was output first for that section.
A consequence is that associative sections now must use .section to
set the association. Using .linkonce would not work since it is not
possible to change a sections comdat symbol (it is used to decide if
we should create a new section or reuse an existing one).
This includes r210298, which was reverted because it was asserting
on an associated section having the same comdat as the associated
section.

We extended the .section syntax to allow multiple sections with the
same name but different comdats, but currently we don't make sure that
the output section has that comdat symbol.
That happens to work with the code llc produces currently because it looks like
.section secName, "dr", one_only, "COMDATSym"
.globl COMDATSym
COMDATSym:
....
but that is not very friendly to anyone coding in assembly or even to
llc once we get comdat support in the IR.
This patch changes the coff object writer to make sure the comdat symbol is
output just after the section symbol, as required by the coff spec.

We would previously assert here when trying to figure out the section
for the global.
This makes us handle the situation more gracefully since the IR isn't

Rafael correctly pointed out that the restriction is unnecessary. Although the
tests are intended to ensure that we dont abort due to an assertion, running the
tests in all modes is better since it also ensures that we dont crash without
assertions. Always run these tests to ensure that we can handle invalid input
correctly.

Now that clang can be used as an assembler via the IAS, invalid assembler inputs
would cause the assertions to trigger. Although we cannot recover from the
errors here, nor provide caret diagnostics, attempt to handle them slightly more
gracefully by reporting a fatal error.

The .drectve section should be marked as IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE. This matches what
the MSVC toolchain does and accurately reflects that this section should not be
emitted into the final binary. This section is merely information for the
linker, comprising of additional linker directives.

This allows us to put dynamic initializers for weak data into the same
comdat group as the data being initialized. This is necessary for MSVC
ABI compatibility. Once we have comdats for guard variables, we can use
the combination to help GlobalOpt fire more often for weak data with
guarded initialization on other platforms.

Introduce support for WoA PE/COFF object file emission from LLVM. Add the new
target specific PE/COFF Streamer (ARMWinCOFFStreamer) that handles the ARM
specific behaviour of PE/COFF object emission. ARM exception information is not
yet emitted and is a TODO item.
The ARM specific object writer (ARMWinCOFFObjectWriter) handles the ARM specific
relocation handling in conjunction with the WinCOFFObjectWriter in the MC layer.
The MC layer needs to be updated to deal with the relocation adjustments.
Branch relocations are adjusted by 4 bytes (unlikely their ELF counterparts).
Minor tweaks to switch multiple conditional checks into equivalent switch
statements. The ObjectFileInfo is updated to relax the object file setup for
Windows COFF. Move the architecture checks into an assertion. Windows COFF is
currently only supported on x86, x86_64, and ARM (thumb). Rather than
defaulting to ELF, we will refuse to generate an object file. This is better
though as you do not get an (arbitrary) object file which is different from the
request.

Add support for emitting .file records. This is mostly a quality of
implementation change (more complete support for COFF file emission) that was
noticed while working on COFF file emission for Windows on ARM.
A .file record is emitted as a symbol with storage class FILE (103) and the name
".file". A series of auxiliary format 4 records follow which contain the file
name. The filename is stored as an ANSI string and is padded with NULL if the
length is not a multiple of COFF::SymbolSize (18).

Summary:
Local common symbols were properly inserted into the .bss section.
However, putting external common symbols in the .bss section would give
them a strong definition.
Instead, encode them as undefined, external symbols who's symbol value

Microsoft PE/COFF Spec clearly states that the field is of signed interger
type. However, in reality, it's unsigned. If cl.exe needs to create a large
number of sections for COMDAT sections, it will just create more than 32768
