I was surprised to see the code model being passed to MC. After all,
it assembles code, it doesn't create it.
The one place it is used is in the expansion of .cfi directives to
handle .eh_frame being more that 2gb away from the code.
As far as I can tell, gnu assembler doesn't even have an option to
enable this. Compiling a c file with gcc -mcmodel=large produces a
regular looking .eh_frame. This is probably because in practice linker
parse and recreate .eh_frames.
In llvm this is used because the JIT can place the code and .eh_frame
very far apart. Ideally we would fix the jit and delete this
option. This is hard.
Apart from confusion another problem with the current interface is
that most callers pass CodeModel::Default, which is bad since MC has
no way to map it to the target default if it actually needed to.
This patch then replaces the argument with a boolean with a default
value. The vast majority of users don't ever need to look at it. In
fact, only CodeGen and llvm-mc use it and llvm-mc just to enable more
testing.

This creates a new library called BinaryFormat that has all of
the headers from llvm/Support containing structure and layout
definitions for various types of binary formats like dwarf, coff,
elf, etc as well as the code for identifying a file from its
magic.

clang-format (https://reviews.llvm.org/D33932) to keep primary headers
at the top and handle new utility headers like 'gmock' consistently with
other utility headers.
No other change was made. I did no manual edits, all of this is
clang-format.
This should allow other changes to have more clear and focused diffs,
and is especially motivated by moving some headers into more focused
libraries.

David Blaikie pointed out that the `setForceChildren` API is no longer needed and should be removed from the DWARF Generator APIs.
Also the DWARFDebugInfoTest file had some copy pasted comments that are not relevant. I've removed them.

Requesting DWARF v5 will now get you the new compile-unit and
type-unit headers. llvm-dwarfdump will also recognize them.

Fix a warning detected by gcc 6:
warning: cast from type 'const void*' to type 'uint8_t* {aka unsigned char*}' casts away qualifiers [-Wcast-qual]

Many places pass around a DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal and a DWARFUnit. It is easy to get things wrong by using the wrong DWARFUnit with a DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal. This patch creates a DWARFDie class that contains the DWARFUnit and DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal objects so that they can't get out of sync. All attribute extraction has been moved out of DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal and into DWARFDie. DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal was also renamed to DWARFDebugInfoEntry.
DWARFDie objects are temporary objects that are used by clients and contain 2 pointers that you always need to have anyway. Keeping them grouped will avoid errors and simplify many of the attribute extracting APIs by not having to pass in a DWARFUnit.

So far it creates a test helper and so it should be moved there. It also
create a layering cycle between CodeGen and CodeGen/AsmPrinter, which
should be avoided.
