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.

Summary:
The generic ELF TargetObjectFile defaults to .ctors, but Linux's
defaults to .init_array by calling InitializeELF with the value of
UseInitArray from TargetMachine. Make NaCl's behavior match.

This reverts commit r217211.
Both the bfd ld and gold outputs were valid. They were using a Rela relocation,
so the value present in the relocated location was not used, which caused me
to misread the output.

We have been using .init-array for most systems for quiet some time,
but tools like llc are still defaulting to .ctors because the old
option was never changed.
This patch makes llc default to .init-array and changes the option to
be -use-ctors.
Clang is not affected by this. It has its own fancier logic.

TargetLoweringObjectFileELF. Use this to support it on X86. Unlike ARM,
on X86 it is not easy to find out if .init_array should be used or not, so
the decision is made via TargetOptions and defaults to off.
Add a command line option to llc that enables it.
