This is the alternative approach to D96931.
In LTO, for each module with inlineasm block, prepend directive ".lto_discard <sym>, <sym>*" to the beginning of the inline
asm. ".lto_discard" is both a module inlineasm block marker and (optionally) provides a list of symbols to be discarded.
In MC while emitting for inlineasm, discard symbol binding & symbol
definitions according to ".lto_disard".

A symbol being redefined as a label is something that can happen as a result of
ordinary input, so it shouldn't cause a fatal error. Also adjust the error
message to match the one you get when a symbol is redefined as a variable.

For many directives, the following diagnostics
* `error: unexpected token`
* `error: unexpected token in '.abort' directive"`
are replaced with `error: expected newline`.
`unexpected token` may make the user think a different token is needed.
`expected newline` is clearer about the expected token.
For `in '...' directive`, the directive name is not useful because the next line
replicates the error line which includes the directive.
As a resolution to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25295 , GNU as
from binutils 2.35 supports the optional third argument for the .symver directive.
'remove' for a non-default version is useful:
`.symver def_v1, def@v1, remove` => def_v1 is not retained in the symbol table.
Previously the user has to strip the original symbol or specify a `local:`
version node in a version script to localize the symbol.
`.symver def, def@@v1, remove` and `.symver def, def@@@v1, remove` are supported
as well, though they are identical to `.symver def, def@@@v1`.
local/hidden are not useful so this patch does not implement them.
GNU as supports this. This mode silently ignores
.cfi_startproc/.cfi_endproc and .cfi_* in between.
Also drop a diagnostic `in '.cfi_sections' directive`: the diagnostic
already includes the line and it is clear the line is a `.cfi_sections` directive.
As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.
GNU as does not sort local symbols. This has several advantages:
* The .symtab order is roughly the symbol occurrence order.
* The closest preceding STT_SECTION symbol is the definition of a local symbol.
* The closest preceding STT_FILE symbol is the defining file of a local symbol, if there are multiple default-version .file directives. (Not implemented in MC.)
Without `-dwarf-version`, llvm-mc uses the default `MCContext::DwarfVersion` 4.
Without `-gdwarf-N`, Clang cc1as uses `clang::driver::ToolChain::GetDefaultDwarfVersion`
which is 4 on many toolchains. Note: `clang -c` can synthesize .debug_info without -g.
There is currently a MCParser warning upon `.file 0` and MCParser errors upon
`.loc 0` if the DWARF version is less than 5. This causes friction to the
following usage:
```
clang -S -g -gdwarf-5 a.c
// MC warning due to .file 0, MC error due to .loc 0
clang -c a.s
llvm-mc -filetype=obj a.s
```
My idea is that we can just upgrade `MCContext::DwarfVersion` to 5 upon
`.file 0` to make the above commands work.
The downside is that for an explicit version `clang -c -gdwarf-4 a.s`, it can be
argued that the new behavior drops the probably intended diagnostic. I think the
downside is small because in most cases DWARF version for an assembly action
should either match the original compile action or be omitted.

Followup to D92052 as I missed an issue as shown via GCC bug https://gcc.gnu.org/PR97827, namely: (e.g.) ".rodata." implies ELF::SHF_ALLOC.

GCC generates: while the first .section contains the flags and entsize,
subsequent sections simply contain the name without repeating entsize or

This relands D64327 with a more specific workaround for R_386_GOTOFF
(gold<2.34 bug https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16794)
.debug_info has quite a few .debug_str relocations (R_386_32/R_ARM_ABS32).
The original workaround was too general and introduced too many .L symbols
used just as relocation targets.
From the original review:
... it reduced the size of a big ARM-32 debug image by 33%. It contained ~68M
of relocations symbols out of total ~71M symbols (96% of symbols table was
generated for relocations with symbol).
We need to make sure not to emit R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX relocations for
instructions that use a REX prefix. If a REX prefix is present, we need to
instead use a R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocation. The existing logic for
CALL64m, JMP64m, etc. already handles this by checking the HasREX parameter
and using it to determine which relocation type to use. Do this for all
instructions that can use relaxed relocations.

clang may produce `movl x@GOTPCREL+4(%rip), %eax` when loading the high
32 bits of the address of a global variable in -fpic/-fpie mode.
If assembled by GNU as, the fixup emits R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX with an addend != -4.
The instruction loads from the GOT entry with an offset and thus it is incorrect
to relax the instruction.
This patch does not emit a relaxable relocation for a GOT load with an offset
because R_X86_64_[REX_]GOTPCRELX do not make sense for instructions which cannot
be relaxed. The result is good enough for LLD to work. GNU ld relaxes
mov+GOTPCREL as well, but it suppresses the relaxation if addend != -4.

(1994) introduced this behavior:
if a fixup symbol is equated to an expression with an undefined symbol, convert
the fixup to be against the target symbol. glibc relies on this behavior to perform
assembly level indirection
```
asm("memcpy = __GI_memcpy"); // from sysdeps/generic/symbol-hacks.h
...
// call memcpy@PLT
// The relocation references __GI_memcpy in GNU as, but memcpy in MC (without the patch)
memcpy (...);
```
(1) It complements `extern __typeof(memcpy) memcpy asm("__GI_memcpy");` The frontend asm label does not redirect synthesized memcpy in the middle-end. (See D88712 for details)
(2) `asm("memcpy = __GI_memcpy");` is in every translation unit, but the memcpy declaration may not be visible in the translation unit where memcpy is synthesized.
MC already redirects `memcpy = __GI_memcpy; call memcpy` but not `memcpy = __GI_memcpy; call memcpy@plt`.
This patch fixes the latter by allowing MCExpr::evaluateAsRelocatableImpl to
evaluate a non-VK_None MCSymbolRefExpr, which is only done after the layout is available.
GNU as allows `memcpy = __GI_memcpy+1; call memcpy@PLT` which seems nonsensical, so we don't allow it.
`MC/PowerPC/pr38945.s` `NUMBER = 0x6ffffff9; cmpwi 8,NUMBER@l` requires the
`symbol@l` form in AsmMatcher, so evaluation needs to be deferred. This is the
place whether future simplification may be possible.
Note, if we suppress the VM_None evaluation when MCAsmLayout is nullptr, we may
lose the `invalid reassignment of non-absolute variable` diagnostic
(`ARM/thumb_set-diagnostics.s` and `MC/AsmParser/variables-invalid.s`).
We know that this diagnostic is troublesome in some cases
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1008), so we can consider
making simplification in the future.
