These MachO file directives are used by linkers and other tools to provide
compatibility information, much like the existing .ios_version_min and
.macosx_version_min.

In this mode it just tries to tail merge the strings without imposing any other
format constrains. It will not, for example, add a null byte between them.
Also add support for keeping a tentative size and offset if we decide to
not optimize after all.
This will be used shortly in lld for merging SHF_STRINGS sections.

This extends the work done in r233995 so that now getFragment (in addition to
getSection) also works for variable symbols.
With that the existing logic to decide if a-b can be computed works even if
a or b are variables. Given that, the expression evaluation can avoid expanding
variables as aggressively and that in turn lets the relocation code see the
original variable.
In order for this to work with the asm streamer, there is now a dummy fragment
per section. It is used to assign a section to a symbol when no other fragment
exists.
This patch is a joint work by Maxim Ostapenko andy myself.

There are occasions where it is useful to consider the entirety of the
contents of a section. For example, compressed debug info needs the
entire section available before it can compress it and write it out.
The compressed debug info scenario was previously implemented by
mirroring the implementation of writeSectionData in the ELFObjectWriter.
Instead, allow the output stream to be swapped on demand. This lets
callers redirect the output stream to a more convenient location before
it hits the object file.
No functionality change is intended.

Hardcode less values in some mach-o header writing routines and pass them
as argument. Doing so will allow reusing this code in llvm-dsymutil.

This causes errors like:
ld: error: blah.o: requires dynamic R_X86_64_PC32 reloc against '' which
may overflow at runtime; recompile with -fPIC
blah.cc:function f(): error: undefined reference to ''
blah.o:g(): error: undefined reference to ''
I have not yet come up with an appropriate reproduction.

Now that pr23900 is fixed, we can bring it back with no changes.
Original message:
Make all temporary symbols unnamed.
What this does is make all symbols that would otherwise start with a .L
(or L on MachO) unnamed.
Some of these symbols still show up in the symbol table, but we can just
make them unnamed.
In order to make sure we produce identical results when going thought assembly,
all .L (not just the compiler produced ones), are now unnamed.
Running llc on llvm-as.opt.bc, the peak memory usage goes from 208.24MB to
205.57MB.

Also delete the now unused MCMachOSymbolFlags.h header as the only enum in there was moved to MCSymbolMachO.
Similarly to ELF and COFF, manipulating the flags is now done via helpers instead of spread
throughout the codebase.

Fix the FIXME and remove this old as(1) compat option. It was useful for
bringup of the integrated assembler to diff object files, but now it's
just causing more relocations than strictly necessary to be generated.

Remove the last use of `MCSymbolData::getSymbol()`. There's some
*really* hairy stuff going on in `MachObjectWriter::WriteNList()` that I
want to come back to. In particular, it updates `Symbol` to point at
its aliasee (if any), but leaves `Data` behind, and it's not clear
whether everything makes sense there.
For now I've left the logic unchanged by adding `OrigSymbol` and moving
the FIXME from r237750 up a bit higher. I've filed PR23598 to track
looking into this.

Transition one API from `MCSymbolData` to `MCSymbol`. The function
needs both, and the backpointer from `MCSymbolData` to `MCSymbol` is
going away.

Instead of storing a list of the `MCSymbolData` in use, store the
`MCSymbol`s. Churning in the direction of removing the back pointer
from `MCSymbolData`.

Similar to r235222, but for the weak symbol case.
In an "ideal" assembler/object format an expression would always refer to the
final value and A-B would only be computed from a section in the same
comdat as A and B with A and B strong.
Unfortunately that is not the case with debug info on ELF, so we need an
heuristic. Since we need an heuristic, we may as well use the same one as
gas:
* call weak_sym : produces a relocation, even if in the same section.
* A - weak_sym and weak_sym -A: don't produce a relocation if we can
compute it.
This fixes pr23272 and changes the fix of pr22815 to match what gas does.
