One could make the argument for writing it immediately after the ELF header,
but writing it in the middle of the sections like we were doing just makes
it harder for no reason.

This reverts commit r222760.
It changed our behaviour on PIC so we don't match gas anymore. It also
included lots of unnecessary changes to tests.
If those changes are desirable, there should be an independent discussion
as they are out of scope for that patch.
I will recommit the other bits.

and PIC:
Allow FDE references outside the +/-2GB range supported by PC relative
offsets for code models other than small/medium. For JIT application,
memory layout is less controlled and can result in truncations
otherwise.

Currently, llvm always emits a DWARF CIE with a version of 1, even when emitting
DWARF 3 or 4, which both support CIE version 3. This patch makes it emit the
newer CIE version when we are emitting DWARF 3 or 4. This will not reduce
compatibility, as we already emit other DWARF3/4 features, and is worth doing as
the DWARF3 spec removed some ambiguities in the interpretation of call frame
information.
It also fixes a minor bug where the "return address" field of the CIE was
encoded as a ULEB128, which is only valid when the CIE version is 3. There are
no test changes for this, because (as far as I can tell) none of the platforms
that we test have a return address register with a DWARF register number >127.

For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

gun as does. This makes it a lot easier to compare the output of both
as the addresses are now a lot closer.
