8333a8aea3 llvm-mc: Hopefully fix Mach-O tests on big-endian platforms, force values to be
converted to Python ints if possible.

8906ff1b9d llvm-mc: Clean up some handling of symbol/section association to be more correct
(external was really undefined and there wasn't an explicit representation for
absolute symbols).
 - This still needs some cleanup to how the absolute "pseudo" section is dealt
   with, but I haven't figured out the nicest approach yet.

fb4a6b3976 llvm-mc: Start MCAssembler and MCMachOStreamer.
- Together these form the (Mach-O) back end of the assembler.

 - MCAssembler is the actual assembler backend, which is designed to have a
   reasonable API. This will eventually grow to support multiple object file
   implementations, but for now its Mach-O/i386 only.

 - MCMachOStreamer adapts the MCStreamer "actions" API to the MCAssembler API,
   e.g. converting the various directives into fragments, managing state like
   the current section, and so on.

 - llvm-mc will use the new backend via '-filetype=obj', which may eventually
   be, but is not yet, since I hear that people like assemblers which actually
   assemble.

 - The only thing that works at the moment is changing sections. For the time
   being I have a Python Mach-O dumping tool in test/scripts so this stuff can
   be easily tested, eventually I expect to replace this with a real LLVM tool.

 - More doxyments to come.

I assume that since this stuff doesn't touch any of the things which are part of
2.6 that it is ok to put this in not so long before the freeze, but if someone
objects let me know, I can pull it.
