Introduce an extension to support passing linker options to the linker.
These would be ignored by older linkers, but newer linkers which support
this feature would be able to process the linker.
Emit a special discarded section `.linker-option`. The content of this
section is a pair of strings (key, value). The key is a type identifier for
the parameter. This allows for an argument free parameter that will be
processed by the linker with the value being the parameter. As an example,
`lib` identifies a library to be linked against, traditionally the `-l`
argument for Unix-based linkers with the parameter being the library name.
Thanks to James Henderson, Cary Coutant, Rafael Espinolda, Sean Silva
for the valuable discussion on the design of this feature.

Summary:
isThumb returns true for Thumb triples (little and big endian), isARM
returns true for ARM triples (little and big endian).
There are a few more checks using arm/thumb that are not covered by
those functions, e.g. that the architecture is either ARM or Thumb
(little endian) or ARM/Thumb little endian only.

This creates a new library called BinaryFormat that has all of
the headers from llvm/Support containing structure and layout
definitions for various types of binary formats like dwarf, coff,
elf, etc as well as the code for identifying a file from its
magic.

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

Make MCSectionELF::AssociatedSection be a link to a symbol, because
that's how it works in the assembly, and use it in the asm printer.

All MIPS .debug_* sections should be marked with ELF type SHT_MIPS_DWARF
accordingly the specification [1]. Also the same section type is assigned
to these sections by GNU tools.

GAS supports specification of section header's type using a numeric
value [1]. This patch brings the same functionality to LLVM. That allows
to setup some target-specific section types belong to the SHT_LOPROC -
SHT_HIPROC range. If we attempt to print unknown section type, MCSectionELF
class shows an error message. It's better than print sole '@' sign
without any section type name.
In case of MIPS, example of such section's type is SHT_MIPS_DWARF.
Without the patch we will have to implement some workarounds
in probably not-MIPS-specific part of code base to convert SHT_MIPS_DWARF
to the @progbits while printing assembly and to assign SHT_MIPS_DWARF for
@progbits sections named .debug_* if we encounter such section in
an input assembly.

Different architectures can have different meaning for flags in the
SHF_MASKPROC mask, so we should always check what the architecture use
before checking the flag.
NFC for now, but will allow fixing the value of an xmos flag.

This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:
* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.

We now create the .eh_frame section early, just like every other special
section.
This means that the special flags are visible in code that explicitly
asks for ".eh_frame".

Summary:
The default behavior is to omit the .section directive for .text, .data,
and sometimes .bss, but some targets may want to omit this directive for
other sections too.
The AMDGPU backend will uses this to emit a simplified syntax for section
switches. For example if the section directive is not omitted (current
behavior), section switches to .hsatext will be printed like this:
.section .hsatext,#alloc,#execinstr,#write
This is actually wrong, because .hsatext has some custom STT_* flags,
which MC doesn't know how to print or parse.
If the section directive is omitted (made possible by this commit),
section switches will be printed like this:
.hsatext
The motivation for this patch is to make it possible to emit sections
with custom STT_* flags without having to teach MC about all the target
specific STT_* flags.

This allows the compiler/assembly programmer to switch back to a
section. This in turn fixes the bootstrap failure on powerpc (tested
on gcc110) without changing the ppc codegen at all.
I will try to cleanup the various getELFSection overloads in a followup patch.
Just using a default argument now would lead to ambiguities.

Add support for having multiple sections with the same name and comdat.
Using this in combination with -ffunction-sections allows LLVM to output a .o
file with mulitple sections named .text. This saves space by avoiding long
unique names of the form .text.<C++ mangled name>.

regressions for LLDB on Linux. Rafael indicated on lldb-dev that we
should just go ahead and revert these but that he wasn't at a computer.
The patches backed out are as follows:
r228980: Add support for having multiple sections with the name and ...
r228889: Invert the section relocation map.
r228888: Use the existing SymbolTableIndex intsead of doing a lookup.
r228886: Create the Section -> Rel Section map when it is first needed.
These patches look pretty nice to me, so hoping its not too hard to get
them re-instated. =D

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.

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.
