LLVM previously used `DW_CFA_def_cfa` instruction in .eh_frame to set
the register and offset for current CFA rule. We change it to
`DW_CFA_def_cfa_register` which is the same one used by GAS that only
changes the register but keeping the old offset.

Currently, llvm always emits a DWARF CIE with a version of 1, even when emitting
DWARF 3 or 4, which both support CIE version 3. This patch makes it emit the
newer CIE version when we are emitting DWARF 3 or 4. This will not reduce
compatibility, as we already emit other DWARF3/4 features, and is worth doing as
the DWARF3 spec removed some ambiguities in the interpretation of call frame
information.
It also fixes a minor bug where the "return address" field of the CIE was
encoded as a ULEB128, which is only valid when the CIE version is 3. There are
no test changes for this, because (as far as I can tell) none of the platforms
that we test have a return address register with a DWARF register number >127.

For COFF and MachO, sections semantically have relocations that apply to them.
That is not the case on ELF.
In relocatable objects (.o), a section with relocations in ELF has offsets to
another section where the relocations should be applied.
In dynamic objects and executables, relocations don't have an offset, they have
a virtual address. The section sh_info may or may not point to another section,
but that is not actually used for resolving the relocations.
This patch exposes that in the ObjectFile API. It has the following advantages:
* Most (all?) clients can handle this more efficiently. They will normally walk
all relocations, so doing an effort to iterate in a particular order doesn't
save time.
* llvm-readobj now prints relocations in the same way the native readelf does.
* probably most important, relocations that don't point to any section are now
visible. This is the case of relocations in the rela.dyn section. See the
updated relocation-executable.test for example.

Normally r_info is just a 32 of 64 bit number matching the endian of the rest
of the file. Unfortunately, mips 64 bit little endian is special: The top 32
bits are a little endian number and the following 32 are a big endian one.

This finally fixes the encoding. The patch also
* Removes eh-frame.ll. It was an unnecessary .ll to .o test that was checking
the wrong value.
* Merge fde-reloc.s and eh-frame.s into a single test, since the only difference
was the run lines.
* Don't blindly test the content of the entire .eh_frame section. It makes it
hard to anyone actually fixing a bug and hitting a difference in a binary
blob. Instead, use a CHECK for each field and document what is being checked.

Revision 177141 caused a regression in all but
mips64 little endian. That is because none of the
other Mips targets had test cases checking the
contents of the .eh_frame section. This patch fixes
both the llvm code and adds an assembler test case
to include the current 4 flavors.
The test cases unfortunately rely on llvm-objdump. A
preferable method would be to use a pretty printer output
such as what readelf -wf <elf_file> would give.
I also changed the name of the test case to correct a typo.
