Summary:
Not all system assembler supports `.uleb128 label2 - label1` form.
When the target do not support this form, we have to take
alternative manual calculation to get the offsets from them.

Summary:
AIX uses the existing EH infrastructure in clang and llvm.
The major differences would be
1. AIX do not have CFI instructions.
2. AIX uses a new personality routine, named __xlcxx_personality_v1.
It doesn't use the GCC personality rountine, because the
interoperability is not there yet on AIX.
3. AIX do not use eh_frame sections. Instead, it would use a eh_info
section (compat unwind section) to store the information about
personality routine and LSDA data address.

This patch improves the assembly output produced for string literals by
using character literals in byte lists. This provides the benefits of
having printable characters appear as such in the assembly output and of
having strings kept as logical units on the same line.

Summary:
When a desired symbol name contains invalid character that the
system assembler could not process, we need to emit .rename
directive in assembly path in order for that desired symbol name
to appear in the symbol table.

Since we deal with aix emitLinkage in the PPCAIXAsmPrinter::emitLinkage() in the patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D75866. It do not go to AsmPrinter::emitLinkage() any more, we clean up some aix related code in the AsmPrinter::emitLinkage()

SUMMARY:
in the aix assembly , it do not have .hidden and .protected directive.
in current llvm. if a function or a variable which has visibility attribute, it will generate something like the .hidden or .protected , it can not recognize by aix as.
in aix assembly, the visibility attribute are support in the pseudo-op like
.extern Name [ , Visibility ]
.globl Name [, Visibility ]
.weak Name [, Visibility ]
in this patch, we implement the visibility attribute for the global variable, function or extern function .
for example.
extern __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden"))) int
bar(int* ip);
__attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden"))) int b = 0;
__attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden"))) int
foo(int* ip){
return (*ip)++;
}
the visibility of .comm linkage do not support , we will have a separate patch for it.
we have the unsupported cases ("default" and "internal") , we will implement them in a a separate patch for it.

Without this change, names start with 'L' will get created as
temporary symbol in MCContext::createSymbol.
Some other potential prefix considered:
.L, does not work for AIX, as a function start with L will end
up with .L as prefix for its function entry point.
..L could work, but it does not play well with the convention
on AIX that anything start with '.' are considered as entry point.
L. could work, but not sure if it's safe enough, as it's possible
to have suffixes like .something append to a plain L, giving L.something
which is not necessarily a temporary.
That's why we picked L.. for now.

Summary:
The standard data emission directives (e.g. .short, .long) in the AIX assembler
have the unintended consequence of aligning their output to the natural byte
boundary. This cause problems because we aren't expecting behavior from the
Data*bitsDirectives, so the final alignment of data isn't correct in some cases
on AIX.
This patch updated the Data*bitsDirectives to use .vbyte pseudo-ops instead to emit the
data, since we will emit the .align directives as needed. We update the existing
testcases and add a test for emission of struct data.

The setting of `MCAsmInfo` properties for XCOFF got split between
`MCAsmInfoXCOFF` and `PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo`. Except for the properties that
are dependent on the target information being passed via the
constructor, the properties being set in `PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo` had no
fundamental reason for being treated as specific for XCOFF on PowerPC.
Indeed, the property that might be considered more specific to PowerPC,
`NeedsFunctionDescriptors`, was set in `MCAsmInfoXCOFF`.
XCOFF being specific to PowerPC anyway, this patch consolidates the
setting of the properties into `MCAsmInfoXCOFF` except for the cases
that are dependent on the information provided via the
`PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo` constructor.
This patch also reorders the assignments to the fields to match the
declaration order in `MCAsmInfo`.
Summary:
We are using symbols to represent label and csect interchangeably before, and that could be a problem.
There are cases we would need to add storage mapping class to the symbol if that symbol is actually the name of a csect, but it's hard for us to figure out whether that symbol is a label or csect.
This patch intend to do the following:
1. Construct a QualName (A name include the storage mapping class)
MCSymbolXCOFF for every MCSectionXCOFF.
2. Keep a pointer to that QualName inside of MCSectionXCOFF.
3. Use that QualName whenever we need a symbol refers to that
MCSectionXCOFF.
4. Adapt the snowball effect from the above changes in
XCOFFObjectWriter.cpp.

Summary:
This patch enable assembly output of local commons for AIX using .lcomm
directives. Adds a EmitXCOFFLocalCommonSymbol to MCStreamer so we can emit the
AIX version of .lcomm assembly directives which include a csect name. Handle the
case of BSS locals in PPCAIXAsmPrinter by using EmitXCOFFLocalCommonSymbol. Adds
a test for generating .lcomm on AIX Targets.
