calls were originally put in place because errs() at one time was
not unbuffered, and these print routines are commonly used with errs()
for debugging. However, errs() is now properly unbuffered, so the
flush calls are no longer needed. This significantly reduces the
number of write(2) calls for regular asm printing when there are many
small functions.

it is highly specific to the object file that will be generated in the end,
this introduces a new TargetLoweringObjectFile interface that is implemented
for each of ELF/MachO/COFF/Alpha/PIC16 and XCore.
Though still is still a brutal and ugly refactoring, this is a major step
towards goodness.
This patch also:
1. fixes a bunch of dangling pointer problems in the PIC16 backend.
2. disables the TargetLowering copy ctor which PIC16 was accidentally using.
3. gets us closer to xcore having its own crazy target section flags and
pic16 not having to shadow sections with its own objects.
4. fixes wierdness where ELF targets would set CStringSection but not
CStringSection_. Factor the code better.
5. fixes some bugs in string lowering on ELF targets.

"LinkerPrivatePrefix". It seems to have been used in only one place before I
started this "linker_private" business. I'm thinking that a rename is in
order...

"private" symbols which the assember shouldn't strip, but which the linker may
remove after evaluation. This is mostly useful for Objective-C metadata.
This is plumbing, so we don't have a use of it yet. More to come, etc.
