Michael Zuckerman 56704618aa [LLVM][inline-asm] Altmacro absolute expression '%' feature
In this patch, I introduce a new alt macro feature.
This feature adds meaning for the % when using it as a prefix to the calling macro arguments.

In the altmacro mode, the percent sign '%' before an absolute expression convert the expression first to a string. 
As described in the https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.27/as/Altmacro.html
"Expression results as strings
You can write `%expr' to evaluate the expression expr and use the result as a string."

expression assumptions:

1. '%' can only evaluate an absolute expression.
2. Altmacro '%' must be the first character of the evaluated expression.
3. If no '%' is located before the expression, a regular module operation is expected.
4. The result of Absolute Expressions can be only integer.
