The NoMovt feature prevents the use of MOVW/MOVT
instructions on Cortex-M23 for performance reasons.
These instructions are required for execute only code
so NoMovt should be disabled when that option is enabled.

SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag when being built with the -mexecute-only flag.
All code sections of an ELF must have the flag set for the final .text
section to be execute-only, otherwise the flag gets removed.
A HasData flag is added to MCSection to aid in the determination that
the section is empty. A virtual setTargetSectionFlags is added to
MCELFObjectTargetWriter to allow subclasses to set target specific
section flags to be added to sections which we then use in the ARM
backend to set SHF_ARM_PURECODE.

When generating table jump code for switch statements, place the jump
table label as the first operand in the various addition instructions
in order to enable addressing mode selectors to better match index
computation and possibly fold them into the addressing mode of the
table entry load instruction.

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.
