Prakhar Bahuguna 52a7dd7d78 [ARM] Implement execute-only support in CodeGen
This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:

* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
  alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
  with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
  instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
  Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
  marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
  This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.
