MCFragment didn't really need vtables. The majority of virtual methods were just getters and setters.
This removes the vtables and uses dispatch on the kind to do things like delete which needs to
get the appropriate class.
This reduces memory on the verify use list order test case by about 2MB out of 800MB.

This create a MCSymbolELF class and moves SymbolSize since only ELF
needs a size expression.
This reduces the size of MCSymbol from 56 to 48 bytes.

Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Summary:
Bundle aligment requires that the functions always start at an aligned address.
Usually this is ensured by the compiler, but assembly code does not always
begin with a .align directive.
This change ensures that sections get the correct alignment if they contain
any instructions and bundling is enabled. (It also makes LLVM match the
behavior of GNU as).

Summary:
When instruction bundling is enabled and the -mc-relax-all flag is
set, we can write bundle padding directly into fragments and avoid
creating large number of fragments significantly reducing LLVM MC
memory usage.

There are two main advantages to doing this
* Targets that only need to handle one of the formats specially don't have
to worry about the others. For example, x86 now only registers a
constructor for the COFF streamer.
* Changes to the arguments passed to one format constructor will not impact
the other formats.

In theory this allows the compiler to skip materializing the array on
the stack. In practice clang often fails to do that, but that's a
different story. NFC.

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

The only difference from r219829 is using
getOrCreateSectionSymbol(*ELFSec)
instead of
GetOrCreateSymbol(ELFSec->getSectionName())
in ELFObjectWriter which causes us to use the correct section symbol even if
we have multiple sections with the same name.
Original messages:
r219829:
Correctly handle references to section symbols.
When processing assembly like
.long .text
we were creating a new undefined symbol .text. GAS on the other hand would
handle that as a reference to the .text section.
This patch implements that by creating the section symbols earlier so that
they are visible during asm parsing.
The patch also updates llvm-readobj to print the symbol number in the relocation
dump so that the test can differentiate between two sections with the same name.
r219835:
Allow forward references to section symbols.

Summary:
Currently an error is thrown if bundle alignment mode is set more than once
per module (either via the API or the .bundle_align_mode directive). This
change allows setting it multiple times as long as the alignment doesn't
change.
Also nested bundle_lock groups are currently not allowed. This change allows
them, with the effect that the group stays open until all nests are exited,
and if any of the bundle_lock directives has the align_to_end flag, the
group becomes align_to_end.
These changes make the bundle aligment simpler to use in the compiler, and
also better match the corresponding support in GNU as.

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.

diagnostic that includes location information.
Currently if one has this assembly:
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
where SOME_VALUE is undefined ones gets the less than
useful error message with no location information:
% clang -c x.s
clang -cc1as: fatal error: error in backend: expected relocatable expression
With this fix one now gets a more useful error message
with location information:
% clang -c x.s
x.s:5:8: error: expected relocatable expression
.quad (0x1234 + (4 * SOME_VALUE))
^
To do this I plumbed the SMLoc through the MCObjectStreamer
EmitValue() and EmitValueImpl() interfaces so it could be used
when creating the MCFixup.

Given
bar = foo + 4
.long bar
MC would eat the 4. GNU as includes it in the relocation. The rule seems to be
that a variable that defines a symbol is used in the relocation and one that
does not define a symbol is evaluated and the result included in the relocation.
Fixing this unfortunately required some other changes:
* Since the variable is now evaluated, it would prevent the ELF writer from
noticing the weakref marker the elf streamer uses. This patch then replaces
that with a VariantKind in MCSymbolRefExpr.
* Using VariantKind then requires us to look past other VariantKind to see
.weakref bar,foo
call bar@PLT
doing this also fixes
zed = foo +2
call zed@PLT
so that is a good thing.
* Looking past VariantKind means that the relocation selection has to use
the fixup instead of the target.
This is a reboot of the previous fixes for MC. I will watch the sanitizer
buildbot and wait for a build before adding back the previous fixes.

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.
