For historic reasons, the behavior of .align differs between targets.
Fortunately, there are alternatives, .p2align and .balign, which make the
interpretation of the parameter explicit, and which behave consistently across
targets.
This patch teaches MC to use .p2align instead of .align, so that people reading
code for multiple architectures don't have to remember which way each platform
does its .align directive.

Before llvm-mc would print it, but llc was assuming that it would produce
another section changing directive before one was needed. That assumption is
false with inline asm.
Fixes PR19049.
Another option would be to always create the section, but in the asm printer
avoid printing sections changes during initialization. That would work, but
* We do use the fact that llvm-mc prints it in testing. The tests can be changed
if needed.
* A quick poll on IRC suggest that most developers prefer the implicit .text to
be printed.

Accepting quotes is a property of an assembler, not of an object file. For
example, ELF can support any names for sections and symbols, but the gnu
assembler only accepts quotes in some contexts and llvm-mc in a few more.
LLVM should not produce different symbols based on a guess about which assembler
will be reading the code it is printing.

Due to the execution order of doFinalization functions, the GC information were
deleted before AsmPrinter::doFinalization was executed. Thus, the
GCMetadataPrinter::finishAssembly was never called.
The patch fixes that by moving the code of the GCInfoDeleter::doFinalization to
Printer::doFinalization.
