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.

Currently, we bind those directives with the last symbol, so if none
has been defined, this would lead to a crash of the compiler.

As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

I've been comparing the object file output of LLVM's integrated
assembler against the external assembler on PowerPC, and one
area where differences still remain are in DWARF sections.
In particular, the GNU assembler generates .debug_frame and
.debug_line sections using a code alignment factor of 4, since
all PowerPC instructions have size 4 and must be aligned to a
multiple of 4. However, current MC code hard-codes a code
alignment factor of 1.
This patch changes this by adding a "minimum instruction alignment"
data element to MCAsmInfo and using this as code alignment factor.
This requires passing a MCContext into MCDwarfLineAddr::Encode
and MCDwarfLineAddr::EncodeAdvanceLoc. Note that one caller,
MCDwarfLineAddr::Write, didn't actually have that information
available. However, it turns out that this routine is in fact
never used in the whole code base, so the patch simply removes
it. If it turns out to be needed again at a later time, it
could be re-added with an updated interface.

A couple of old test cases in test/MC/PowerPC were still using
LLVM IR. Now that we have a working assembler, we can move
them to assembler tests instead:
ppc64-initial-cfa.ll
ppc64-relocs-01.ll
ppc64-tls-relocs-01.ll
