and update ELF header e_flags.
Currently gathering information such as symbol,
section and data is done by collecting it in an
MCAssembler object. From MCAssembler and MCAsmLayout
objects ELFObjectWriter::WriteObject() forms and
streams out the ELF object file.
This patch just adds a few members to the MCAssember
class to store and access the e_flag settings. It
allows for runtime additions to the e_flag by
assembler directives. The standalone assembler can
get to MCAssembler from getParser().getStreamer().getAssembler().
This patch is the generic infrastructure and will be
followed by patches for ARM and Mips for their target
specific use.

into which we can emit single instructions without fixups (which is most
instructions). This is an optimization required because MCDataFragment
is prety large (240 bytes on x64), with no change in functionality.
For large programs, this reduces memory usage overhead required for bundling
by 40%.
To make the code as palatable as possible, the MCEncodedFragment interface was
further fragmented (no pun intended) and MCEncodedFragmentWithFixups is used
as the interface to work against when the user expects fixups. MCDataFragment
and MCRelaxableFragment implement this interface, while the new
MCCompactEncodedInstFragment implements MCEncodeFragment.

method because getContents().size() already covers it. So computeFragmentSize
can use the generic MCEncodedFragment interface when querying both Data and
Relaxable fragments for contents sizes.

SmallString. This makes it possible to use the length-erased SmallVectorImpl
in the interface without imposing buffer size. Thus, the size of MCInstFragment
is back down since a preallocated 8-byte contents buffer is enough.
It would be generally a good idea to rid all the fragments of SmallString as
contents, because a vector just makes more sense.

This is more consistent with other vectors in this code. In addition, I ran some
tests compiling a large program and >96% of fragments have 4 or less fixups, so
SmallVector<4> is a good optimization.

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!
This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

isa<> et al. automatically infer when the cast is an upcast (including a
self-cast), so these are no longer necessary.

* wrap code blocks in \code ... \endcode;
* refer to parameter names in paragraphs correctly (\arg is not what most
people want -- it starts a new paragraph);
* use \param instead of \arg to document parameters in order to be consistent
with the rest of the codebase.

The MCInst is immediately passed to the copy-constructor for local
storage, so there's no need for the parameter itself to be by-value.

Use a dedicated MachO load command to annotate data-in-code regions.
This is the same format the linker produces for final executable images,
allowing consistency of representation and use of introspection tools
for both object and executable files.
Data-in-code regions are annotated via ".data_region"/".end_data_region"
directive pairs, with an optional region type.
data_region_directive := ".data_region" { region_type }
region_type := "jt8" | "jt16" | "jt32" | "jta32"
end_data_region_directive := ".end_data_region"
The previous handling of ARM-style "$d.*" labels was broken and has
been removed. Specifically, it didn't handle ARM vs. Thumb mode when
marking the end of the section.

Whether a fixup needs relaxation for the associated instruction is a
target-specific function, as the FIXME indicated. Create a hook for that
and use it.

This helps because in practice sections form a dag with debug sections pointing
to text sections. Finishing up the text sections first makes the debug section
relaxation trivial.

With this we don't need the EffectiveSize field anymore. Without that field
LayoutFragment only updates offsets and we don't need to invalidate the
current fragment when it is relaxed (only the ones following it).
This is also a very small improvement in the accuracy of the layout info as
we now use the after relaxation size immediately.

actuall addresses in a .o file, so it is better to let the MachO writer compute
it.
This is good for two reasons. First, areas that shouldn't care about
addresses now don't have access to it. Second, the layout of each section
is independent. I should use this in a subsequent commit to speed it up.
Most of the patch is just removing the section address computation. The two
interesting parts are the change on how we handle padding in the end
of sections and how MachO can get the address of a-b when a and b are in
different sections.
Since now the expression evaluation normally doesn't know the section address,
it will think that a-b needs relocation and let the MachO writer know. Once
it has computed the section addresses, it calls back the expression evaluation
with the section addresses to resolve these expressions.
The remaining problem is the handling of padding. Currently it will create
a special alignment fragment at the end. Since that fragment doesn't update
the alignment of the section, it needs the real address to be computed.
Since now the layout will not compute a-b with a and b in different sections,
the only effect that the special alignment fragment has is update the
address size of the section. This can also be done by the MachO writer.

contain only data. Handle them specially instead of using AddSectionToTheEnd.
This moves a hack from the generic assembler to the elf writer. It is also
a bit faster and should make other improvements easier.
