foo = a - b
.long foo
instead of just
.long a - b
First, on darwin9 64 bits the assembler produces the wrong result. Second,
if "a" is the end of the section all darwin assemblers (9, 10 and mc) will not
consider a - b to be a constant but will if the dummy foo is created.
Split how we handle these cases. The first one is something MC should take care
of. The second one has to be handled by the caller.

Next: Add support for the !HasDotLocAndDotFile case to the MCAsmStreamer
and then switch codegen to use it.

The ELF implementation now creates text, data and bss to match the gnu as
behavior.
The text streamer still has the old MachO specific behavior since
the testsuite checks that it will error when a directive is given
before a setting the current section for example.
A nice benefit is that -n is not required anymore when producing
ELF files.
