Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

derived classes.
Since global data alignment, layout, and mangling is often based on the
DataLayout, move it to the TargetMachine. This ensures that global
data is going to be layed out and mangled consistently if the subtarget
changes on a per function basis. Prior to this all targets(*) have
had subtarget dependent code moved out and onto the TargetMachine.
*One target hasn't been migrated as part of this change: R600. The
R600 port has, as a subtarget feature, the size of pointers and
this affects global data layout. I've currently hacked in a FIXME
to enable progress, but the port needs to be updated to either pass
the 64-bitness to the TargetMachine, or fix the DataLayout to
avoid subtarget dependent features.

COFF lacks a feature that other object file formats support: mergeable
sections.
To work around this, MSVC sticks constant pool entries in special COMDAT
sections so that each constant is in it's own section. This permits
unused constants to be dropped and it also allows duplicate constants in
different translation units to get merged together.
This fixes PR20262.

r201608 made llvm corretly handle private globals with MachO. r201622 fixed
a bug in it and r201624 and r201625 were changes for using private linkage,
assuming that llvm would do the right thing.
They all got reverted because r201608 introduced a crash in LTO. This patch
includes a fix for that. The issue was that TargetLoweringObjectFile now has
to be initialized before we can mangle names of private globals. This is
trivially true during the normal codegen pipeline (the asm printer does it),
but LTO has to do it manually.

The IR
@foo = private constant i32 42
is valid, but before this patch we would produce an invalid MachO from it. It
was invalid because it would use an L label in a section where the liker needs
the labels in order to atomize it.
One way of fixing it would be to just reject this IR in the backend, but that
would not be very front end friendly.
What this patch does is use an 'l' prefix in sections that we know the linker
requires symbols for atomizing them. This allows frontends to just use
private and not worry about which sections they go to or how the linker handles
them.
One small issue with this strategy is that now a symbol name depends on the
section, which is not available before codegen. This is not a problem in
practice. The reason is that it only happens with private linkage, which will
be ignored by the non codegen users (llvm-nm and llvm-ar).

Xcore target ABI requires const data that is externally visible
to be handled differently if it has C-language linkage rather than
C++ language linkage.
Clang now emits ".cp.rodata" section information.
All other externally visible constant data will be placed in the DP section.

It is never null and it is not used in casts, so there is no reason to use a
pointer. This matches how we pass TM.

code to see if we're emitting a function into a non-default
text section. This is still a less-than-ideal solution, but more
contained than r199871 to determine whether or not we're emitting
code into an array of comdat sections.

e.g. linkonce, to TargetMachine and set it when we've done so
for ELF targets currently. This involved making TargetMachine
non-const in a TLOF use and propagating that change around - I'm
open to other ideas.
This will be used in a future commit to handle emitting debug
information with ranges.

When using large code model:
Global objects larger than 'CodeModelLargeSize' bytes are placed in sections named with a trailing ".large"
The folded global address of such objects are lowered into the const pool.
During inspection it was noted that LowerConstantPool() was using a default offset of zero.
A fix was made, but due to only offsets of zero being generated, testing only verifies the change is not detrimental.
Correct the flags emitted for explicitly specified sections.
We assume the size of the object queried by getSectionForConstant() is never greater than CodeModelLargeSize.
To handle greater than CodeModelLargeSize, changes to AsmPrinter would be required.

This allows us to get get rid of a hack in XCoreTargetObjectFile where the
the DataRel* sections were overridden.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

support for globals going into the appropriate sections with the flags.
This hopefully finishes unbreaking the previous behavior that I broke before.

The parsing support and validation is not introduced yet.

should have no state that is specific to particular globals in the
section. In this case, it means the removal of the "isWeak" and
"ExplicitSection" bits. MCSection uses the new form of SectionKind.
To handle isWeak, I introduced a new SectionInfo class, which is
SectionKind + isWeak, and it is used by the part of the code generator
that does classification of a specific global.
The ExplicitSection disappears. It is moved onto MCSection as a new
"IsDirective" bit. Since the Name of a section is either a section
or directive, it makes sense to keep this bit in MCSection. Ultimately
the creator of MCSection should canonicalize (e.g.) .text to whatever
the actual section is.

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.
