Reid Kleckner 31263731da [MC] Handle discardable COFF sections in assembly
Summary:
This fixes a dumpbin warning on objects produced by the MC assembler
when starting from text. All .debug$S sections are supposed to be marked
IMAGE_SCN_MEM_DISCARDABLE. The main, non-COMDAT .debug$S section had
this set, but any comdat ones were not being marked discardable because
there was no .section flag for it.

This change does two things:

- If the section name starts with .debug, implicitly mark the section as
  discardable. This means we do the same thing as gas on .s files with
  DWARF from GCC, which is important.

- Adds the 'D' flag to the .section directive on COFF to explicitly say
  a section is discardable. We only emit this flag if the section name
  does not start with .debug. This allows the user to explicitly tweak
  their section flags without worrying about magic section names.

The only thing you can't do in this scheme is to create a
non-discardable section with a name starting with ".debug", but
hopefully users don't need that.
