Summary:
When instruction bundling is enabled and the -mc-relax-all flag is
set, we can write bundle padding directly into fragments and avoid
creating large number of fragments significantly reducing LLVM MC
memory usage.

Summary:
Currently when emitting a label, a new data fragment is created for it if the
current fragment isn't a data fragment.
This change instead enqueues the label and attaches it to the next fragment
(e.g. created for the next instruction) if possible.
When bundle alignment is not enabled, this has no functionality change (it
just results in fewer extra fragments being created). For bundle alignment,
previously labels would point to the beginning of the bundle padding instead
of the beginning of the emitted instruction. This was not only less efficient
(e.g. jumping to the nops instead of past them) but also led to miscalculation
of the address of the GOT (since MC uses a label difference rather than
emitting a "." symbol).

one-byte NOPs. If the processor actually executes those NOPs, as it sometimes
does with aligned bundling, this can have a performance impact. From my
micro-benchmarks run on my one machine, a 15-byte NOP followed by twelve
one-byte NOPs is about 20% worse than a 15 followed by a 12. This patch
changes NOP emission to emit as many 15-byte (the maximum) as possible followed
by at most one shorter NOP.
