Summary:
The "single parameter" .file directive appears to be an ELF-only feature
that is intended to insert the main source filename into the string
table table.
I noticed that if you assemble an ELF .s file for COFF, typically it
will assert right away on a .file directive near the top of the file. My
first change was to make this emit a proper error in the asm parser so
that we don't assert so easily.
However, COFF actually does have some support for this directive, and if
you emit an object file, llvm-mc does not assert. When emitting a COFF
object, MC will take those file names and create "debug" symbol table
entries for them. I'm not familiar with these kinds of symbol table
entries, and I'm not aware of any users of them, but @compnerd added
them a while ago. They don't introduce absolute paths, and most main
source file paths are short enough that this extra entry shouldn't cause
any problems, so I enabled the flag in MCAsmInfoCOFF that indicates that
it's supported.
This has the side effect of adding an extra debug symbol to every object
produced by clang, which is a pretty big functional change. My question
is, should we keep the functionality or remove it in the name of symbol
table minimalism?

This adds support for reading the "bigobj" variant of COFF produced by
cl's /bigobj and mingw's -mbig-obj.
The most significant difference that bigobj brings is more than 2**16
sections to COFF.
bigobj brings a few interesting differences with it:
- It doesn't have a Characteristics field in the file header.
- It doesn't have a SizeOfOptionalHeader field in the file header (it's
only used in executable files).
- Auxiliary symbol records have the same width as a symbol table entry.
Since symbol table entries are bigger, so are auxiliary symbol
records.
Write support will come soon.

.file records are supposed to have a section identifier of 65534
(IMAGE_SCN_DEBUG) rather than 0. This is spelt out clearly within the PE/COFF
specification. Fix this minor oversight with the implementation for support for
.file records.

Adjust the tests to validate the number of auxiliary entries used to store the
filename.
Thanks to majnemer's sharp eye for catching the missing - 1 in the round up
calculation.

Add support for emitting .file records. This is mostly a quality of
implementation change (more complete support for COFF file emission) that was
noticed while working on COFF file emission for Windows on ARM.
A .file record is emitted as a symbol with storage class FILE (103) and the name
".file". A series of auxiliary format 4 records follow which contain the file
name. The filename is stored as an ANSI string and is padded with NULL if the
length is not a multiple of COFF::SymbolSize (18).
