Linker relaxation may change code size. We need to fix up the alignment
of alignment directive in text section by inserting Nops and R_RISCV_ALIGN
relocation type. So then linker could satisfy the alignment by removing Nops.
To do this:
1. Add shouldInsertExtraNopBytesForCodeAlign target hook to calculate
the Nops we need to insert.
2. Add shouldInsertFixupForCodeAlign target hook to insert
R_RISCV_ALIGN fixup type.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

To do this:
1. Add fixup_riscv_relax fixup types which eventually will
transfer to R_RISCV_RELAX relocation types.
2. Insert R_RISCV_RELAX relocation types to auipc function call
expression when linker relaxation enabled.

For RISC-V it is desirable to have relaxation happen in the linker once
addresses are known, and as such the size between two instructions/byte
sequences in a section could change.
For most assembler expressions, this is fine, as the absolute address results
in the expression being converted to a fixup, and finally relocations.
However, for expressions such as .quad .L2-.L1, the assembler folds this down
to a constant once fragments are laid out, under the assumption that the
difference can no longer change, although in the case of linker relaxation the
differences can change at link time, so the constant is incorrect. One place
where this commonly appears is in debug information, where the size of a
function expression is in a form similar to the above.
This patch extends the assembler to allow an AsmBackend to declare that it
does not want the assembler to fold down this expression, and instead generate
a pair of relocations that allow the linker to carry out the calculation. In
this case, the expression is not folded, but when it comes to emitting a
fixup, the generic FK_Data_* fixups are converted into a pair, one for the
addition half, one for the subtraction, and this is passed to the relocation
generating methods as usual. I have named these FK_Data_Add_* and
FK_Data_Sub_* to indicate which half these are for.
For RISC-V, which supports this via e.g. the R_RISCV_ADD64, R_RISCV_SUB64 pair
of relocations, these are also set to always emit relocations relative to
local symbols rather than section offsets. This is to deal with the fact that
if relocations were calculated on e.g. .text+8 and .text+4, the result 12
would be stored rather than 4 as both addends are added in the linker.

With this we gain a little flexibility in how the generic object
writer is created.

To do this:
1. Add PseudoCALLIndirct to match indirect function call.
2. Add PseudoCALL to support parsing and print pseudo `call` in assembly
3. Expand PseudoCALL to the following form with R_RISCV_CALL relocation type
while encoding:
auipc ra, func
jalr ra, ra, 0
If we expand PseudoCALL before emitting assembly, we will see auipc and jalr
pair when compile with -S. It's hard for assembly parser to parsing this
pair and identify it's semantic is function call and then insert R_RISCV_CALL
relocation type. Although we could insert R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 and
R_RISCV_PCREL_LO12_I relocation types instead of R_RISCV_CALL.
Due to RISCV relocation design, auipc and jalr pair only can relax to jal with
R_RISCV_CALL + R_RISCV_RELAX relocation types.
We expand PseudoCALL as late as encoding(RISCVMCCodeEmitter) instead of before
emitting assembly(RISCVAsmPrinter) because we want to preserve call
pseudoinstruction in assembly code. It's more readable and assembly parser
could identify call assembly and insert R_RISCV_CALL relocation type.

r315275 set the IsLittleEndian parameter incorrectly. This patch corrects
this, and adds a test to ensure such mistakes will be caught in the future.

%lo(), %hi(), and %pcrel_hi() are supported and test cases have been added to
ensure the appropriate fixups and relocations are generated. I've added an
instruction format field which is used in RISCVMCCodeEmitter to, for
instance, tell whether it should emit a lo12_i fixup or a lo12_s fixup
(RISC-V has two 12-bit immediate encodings depending on the instruction
type).

This is enough to compile and link but doesn't yet do anything particularly
useful. Once an ASM parser and printer are added in the next two patches, the
whole thing can be usefully tested.
