Programs with very large __llvm_covmap sections may fail to link on
Darwin because because of out-of-range 32-bit RIP relative references.
It isn't possible to work around this by using the large code model
because it isn't supported on Darwin. One solution is to move the
__llvm_covmap section past the end of the __DATA segment.
=== Testing ===
In addition to check-{llvm,clang,profile}, I performed a link test on a
simple object after injecting ~4GB of padding into __llvm_covmap:
@__llvm_coverage_padding = internal constant [4000000000 x i8] zeroinitializer, section "__LLVM_COV,__llvm_covmap", align 8
(This test is too expensive to check-in.)
=== Backwards Compatibility ===
This patch should not pose any backwards-compatibility concerns. LLVM
is expected to scan all of the sections in a binary for __llvm_covmap,
so changing its segment shouldn't affect anything. I double-checked this
by loading coverage produced by an unpatched compiler with a patched
llvm-cov.

These sections contain pointers to function that should be invoked
during startup/shutdown by __libc_csu_init and __libc_csu_fini.
Instrumenting these globals will append redzone to them, which will be
filled with zeroes. This will cause null pointer dereference at runtime.
Merge ASan regression tests for globals that should be ignored by
instrumentation pass.
