Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

The code this patch removes was there to make sure the text sections went
before the dwarf sections. That is necessary because MachO uses offsets
relative to the start of the file, so adding a section can change relaxations.
The dwarf sections were being printed at the start just to produce symbols
pointing at the start of those sections.
The underlying issue was fixed in r231898. The dwarf sections are now printed
when they are about to be used, which is after we printed the text sections.
To make sure we don't regress, the patch makes the MachO streamer assert
if CodeGen puts anything unexpected after the DWARF sections.

There are two main advantages to doing this
* Targets that only need to handle one of the formats specially don't have
to worry about the others. For example, x86 now only registers a
constructor for the COFF streamer.
* Changes to the arguments passed to one format constructor will not impact
the other formats.

This patch was generated by a clang tidy checker that is being open sourced.
The documentation of that checker is the following:
/// The emptiness of a container should be checked using the empty method
/// instead of the size method. It is not guaranteed that size is a
/// constant-time function, and it is generally more efficient and also shows
/// clearer intent to use empty. Furthermore some containers may implement the
/// empty method but not implement the size method. Using empty whenever
/// possible makes it easier to switch to another container in the future.

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.

This patch centralizes the handling of the thumb bit around
MCStreamer::isThumbFunc and makes isThumbFunc handle aliases.
This fixes a corner case, but the main advantage is having just one
way to check if a MCSymbol is thumb or not. This should still be
refactored to be ARM only, but at least now it is just one predicate
that has to be refactored instead of 3 (isThumbFunc,
ELF_Other_ThumbFunc, and SF_ThumbFunc).

Another part of the ARM64 backend (so tests will be following soon).
This is currently used by the linker to relax adrp/ldr pairs into nops
where possible, though could well be more broadly applicable.

The upcoming ARM64 backend doesn't have section-relative relocations,
so we give each section its own symbol to provide this functionality.
Of course, it doesn't need to appear in the final executable, so
linker-private is the best kind for this purpose.

This has a few advantages:
* Only targets that use a MCTargetStreamer have to worry about it.
* There is never a MCTargetStreamer without a MCStreamer, so we can use a
reference.
* A MCTargetStreamer can talk to the MCStreamer in its constructor.

This patch fixes an old FIXME by creating a MCTargetStreamer interface
and moving the target specific functions for ARM, Mips and PPC to it.
The ARM streamer is still declared in a common place because it is
used from lib/CodeGen/ARMException.cpp, but the Mips and PPC are
completely hidden in the corresponding Target directories.
I will send an email to llvmdev with instructions on how to use this.

When MC was first added, targets could use hasRawTextSupport to keep features
working before they were added to the MC interface.
The design goal of MC is to provide an uniform api for printing assembly and
object files. Short of relaxations and other corner cases, a object file is
just another representation of the assembly.
It was never the intention that targets would keep doing things like
if (hasRawTextSupport())
Set flags in one way.
else
Set flags in another way.
When they do that they create two code paths and the object file is no longer
just another representation of the assembly. This also then requires testing
with llc -filetype=obj, which is extremelly brittle.
This patch removes some of these hacks by replacing them with smaller ones.
The ARM flag setting is trivial, so I just moved it to the constructor. For
Mips, the patch adds two temporary hack directives that allow the assembly
to represent the same things as the object file was already able to.
The hope is that the mips developers will replace the hack directives with
the same ones that gas uses and drop the -print-hack-directives flag.
I will also try to implement a target streamer interface, so that we can
move this out of the common code.
In summary, for any new work, two rules of the thumb are
* Don't use "llc -filetype=obj" in tests.
* Don't add calls to hasRawTextSupport.

There are more than one paths to where the frame information is emitted. Place
the call to generateCompactUnwindEncodings() into the method which outputs the
frame information, thus ensuring that the encoding is there for every path. This
involved threading the MCAsmBackend object through to this method.

We used to generate the compact unwind encoding from the machine
instructions. However, this had the problem that if the user used `-save-temps'
or compiled their hand-written `.s' file (with CFI directives), we wouldn't
generate the compact unwind encoding.
Move the algorithm that generates the compact unwind encoding into the
MCAsmBackend. This way we can generate the encoding whether the code is from a
`.ll' or `.s' file.

Currently, when an invalid attribute is encountered on processing a .s file,
clang will abort due to llvm_unreachable. Invalid user input should not cause
an abnormal termination of the compiler. Change the interface to return a
boolean to indicate the failure as a first step towards improving hanlding of
malformed user input to clang.
