ef99356dfe MC: Disassembled CFG reconstruction.
This patch builds on some existing code to do CFG reconstruction from
a disassembled binary:
- MCModule represents the binary, and has a list of MCAtoms.
- MCAtom represents either disassembled instructions (MCTextAtom), or
  contiguous data (MCDataAtom), and covers a specific range of addresses.
- MCBasicBlock and MCFunction form the reconstructed CFG. An MCBB is
  backed by an MCTextAtom, and has the usual successors/predecessors.
- MCObjectDisassembler creates a module from an ObjectFile using a
  disassembler. It first builds an atom for each section. It can also
  construct the CFG, and this splits the text atoms into basic blocks.

MCModule and MCAtom were only sketched out; MCFunction and MCBB were
implemented under the experimental "-cfg" llvm-objdump -macho option.
This cleans them up for further use; llvm-objdump -d -cfg now generates
graphviz files for each function found in the binary.

In the future, MCObjectDisassembler may be the right place to do
"intelligent" disassembly: for example, handling constant islands is just
a matter of splitting the atom, using information that may be available
in the ObjectFile. Also, better initial atom formation than just using
sections is possible using symbols (and things like Mach-O's
function_starts load command).

This brings two minor regressions in llvm-objdump -macho -cfg:
- The printing of a relocation's referenced symbol.
- An annotation on loop BBs, i.e., which are their own successor.

Relocation printing is replaced by the MCSymbolizer; the basic CFG
annotation will be superseded by more related functionality.

042aadd8ee MCAtom extending methods need to extend the range of the atom as well.

124e182103 Start stubbing out MCModule and MCAtom, which provide an API for accessing the rich disassembly of a complete object or executable.
These are very much a work in progress, and not really useful yet.

71d259bc4b We decided to not worry about Atoms for now, it should be straightforward to
reintroduce them later.

Also, don't require MCSection* when creating a symbol.
