For `MC_GlobalAddress` operands referencing **certain** GlobalObjects,
we can lower them to STB_LOCAL aliases to avoid costs brought by
assembler/linker's conservative decisions about symbol interposition:
* An assembler conservatively assumes a global default visibility symbol interposable (ELF
semantics). So relocations in object files are needed even if the code generator assumed
the definition exact and non-interposable.
* The relocations can cause the creation of PLT entries on some targets for -shared links.
A linker conservatively assumes a global default visibility symbol interposable (if not
otherwise constrained by -Bsymbolic/--dynamic-list/VER_NDX_LOCAL/etc).
"certain" refers to GlobalObjects in the intersection of
`hasExactDefinition() and !isInterposable()`: `external`, `appending`, `internal`, `private`.
Local linkages (`internal` and `private`) cannot be interposed. `appending` is for very
few objects LLVM interpret specially. So the set just includes `external`.
This patch emits STB_LOCAL aliases (.Lfoo$local) for such GlobalObjects, so that targets can lower
MC_GlobalAddress operands to STB_LOCAL aliases if applicable.
We may extend the scope and include GlobalAlias in the future.
LLVM's existing -fno-semantic-interposition behaviors give us license to do such optimizations:
* Various optimizations (ipconstprop, inliner, sccp, sroa, etc) treat normal ExternalLinkage
GlobalObjects as non-interposable.
* Before D72197, MC resolved a PC-relative VK_None fixup to a non-local symbol at assembly time (no
outstanding relocation), if the target is defined in the same section. Put it simply, even if IR
optimizations failed to optimize and allowed interposition for the function call in
`void foo() {} void bar() { foo(); }`, the assembler would disallow it.
This patch sets up AsmPrinter infrastructure to make -fno-semantic-interposition more so.
With and without the patch, the object file output should be identical:
`.Lfoo$local` does not take a symbol table entry.

Part of the effort to refactoring frame pointer code generation. We used
to use two function attributes "no-frame-pointer-elim" and
"no-frame-pointer-elim-non-leaf" to represent three kinds of frame
pointer usage: (all) frames use frame pointer, (non-leaf) frames use
frame pointer, (none) frame use frame pointer. This CL makes the idea
explicit by using only one enum function attribute "frame-pointer"
Option "-frame-pointer=" replaces "-disable-fp-elim" for tools such as
llc.
"no-frame-pointer-elim" and "no-frame-pointer-elim-non-leaf" are still
supported for easy migration to "frame-pointer".
tests are mostly updated with
// replace command line args ‘-disable-fp-elim=false’ with ‘-frame-pointer=none’
grep -iIrnl '\-disable-fp-elim=false' * | xargs sed -i '' -e "s/-disable-fp-elim=false/-frame-pointer=none/g"
// replace command line args ‘-disable-fp-elim’ with ‘-frame-pointer=all’
grep -iIrnl '\-disable-fp-elim' * | xargs sed -i '' -e "s/-disable-fp-elim/-frame-pointer=all/g"

Emulated TLS is enabled by llc flag -emulated-tls,
which is passed by clang driver.
When llc is called explicitly or from other drivers like LTO,
missing -emulated-tls flag would generate wrong TLS code for targets
that supports only this mode.
Now use useEmulatedTLS() instead of Options.EmulatedTLS to decide whether
emulated TLS code should be generated.
Unit tests are modified to run with and without the -emulated-tls flag.

Summary:
This change enables frame pointer elimination in non-leaf functions.
The -fomit-frame-pointer option still needs to be used when compiling
via clang (or an equivalent method of not setting the
'no-frame-pointer-elim*' function attributes if generating llvm IR via
some other method) to take advantage of this optimization.
This change should be NFC when compiling via clang without
-fomit-frame-pointer.

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.

Previous implementation in http://reviews.llvm.org/D10522
created external references to __emutls_v.* variables.
Such references are inaccurate and cannot be handled by
all linkers, e.g. Android dynamic and gold linkers for aarch64.
Now a new LowerEmuTLS pass to go through all global variables,
and add emutls_v.* and emutls_t.* variables.
These __emutls* variables have the same linkage and
visibility as the associated user defined TLS variable.
Also removed old code that dump __emutls* variables in AsmPrinter.cpp,
and updated TLS unit tests.

The 'common' section TLS is not implemented.
Current C/C++ TLS variables are not placed in common section.
DWARF debug info to get the address of TLS variables is not generated yet.
clang and driver changes in http://reviews.llvm.org/D10524
Added -femulated-tls flag to select the emulated TLS model,
which will be used for old targets like Android that do not
support ELF TLS models.
Added TargetLowering::LowerToTLSEmulatedModel as a target-independent
function to convert a SDNode of TLS variable address to a function call
to __emutls_get_address.
Added into lib/Target/*/*ISelLowering.cpp to call LowerToTLSEmulatedModel
for TLSModel::Emulated. Although all targets supporting ELF TLS models are
enhanced, emulated TLS model has been tested only for Android ELF targets.
Modified AsmPrinter.cpp to print the emutls_v.* and emutls_t.* variables for
emulated TLS variables.
Modified DwarfCompileUnit.cpp to skip some DIE for emulated TLS variabls.
TODO: Add proper DIE for emulated TLS variables.
Added new unit tests with emulated TLS.
