Before, ELF at least managed a diagnostic but it was a completely untraceable
"undefined symbol" error. MachO had a variety of even worse behaviours: crash,
emit corrupt file, or an equally bad message.

If we can't handle a relocation type, report it as an error in the source,
rather than asserting. I've added a more descriptive message and a test for the
only cases of this that I've been able to trigger.

When a symbol S shows up in an expression in assembly there are two
possible interpretations
* The expression is referring to the value of S in this file.
* The expression is referring to the value after symbol resolution.
In the first case the assembler can reason about the value and try to
produce a relocation.
In the second case, that is only possible if the symbol cannot be
preempted.
Assemblers are not very consistent about which interpretation gets used.
This changes MC to agree with GAS in the case of an expression of the
form "Sym - WeakSym".

Currently, if the assembler encounters an error after parsing (such as an
out-of-range fixup), it reports this as a fatal error, and so stops after the
first error. However, for most of these there is an obvious way to recover
after emitting the error, such as emitting the fixup with a value of zero. This
means that we can report on all of the errors in a file, not just the first
one. MCContext::reportError records the fact that an error was encountered, so
we won't actually emit an object file with the incorrect contents.

The MCValue class can store a SMLoc to allow better error messages to be
emitted if an error is detected after parsing. The ARM and AArch64 assembly
parsers were not setting this, so error messages did not have source
information.
