GNU as does not sort local symbols. This has several advantages:
* The .symtab order is roughly the symbol occurrence order.
* The closest preceding STT_SECTION symbol is the definition of a local symbol.
* The closest preceding STT_FILE symbol is the defining file of a local symbol, if there are multiple default-version .file directives. (Not implemented in MC.)
-t is --symbols in llvm-readobj but --section-details (unimplemented) in readelf.
The confusing option should not be used since we aim for improving
compatibility.
Keep just one llvm-readobj -t use case in test/tools/llvm-readobj/symbols.test

According to the documentation, .thumb_set is 'the equivalent of a .set directive'.
We didn't have equivalent behaviour in terms of all the errors we could throw, for
example, when a symbol is redefined.
This change refactors parseAssignment so that it can be used by .set and .thumb_set
and implements tests for .thumb_set for all the errors thrown by that method.

We currently force symbols to be globals in .thumb_set. The intent
seems to be that given
.thumb_set foo, bar
we emit an undefined symbol to bar if it is never defined. The side
effect is that we mark bar as global, even if it is defined, which gas
does not.
Producing an undefined reference to bar is a general difference from MC and gas.
For example, given
a = b
gas will produce an undefined reference to b, MC will not. I would be surprised
if any code depends on this, but it it does, we should fix the general
difference, not special case .thumb_set.

This patch centralizes the handling of the thumb bit around
MCStreamer::isThumbFunc and makes isThumbFunc handle aliases.
This fixes a corner case, but the main advantage is having just one
way to check if a MCSymbol is thumb or not. This should still be
refactored to be ARM only, but at least now it is just one predicate
that has to be refactored instead of 3 (isThumbFunc,
ELF_Other_ThumbFunc, and SF_ThumbFunc).

When a label is parsed, check if there is type information available for the
label. If so, check if the symbol is a function. If the symbol is a function
and we are in thumb mode and no explicit thumb_func has been emitted, adjust the
symbol data to indicate that the function definition is a thumb function.
The application of this inferencing is improved value handling in the object
file (the required thumb bit is set on symbols which are thumb functions). It
also helps improve compatibility with binutils.
The one complication that arises from this handling is the MCAsmStreamer. The
default implementation of getOrCreateSymbolData in MCStreamer does not support
tracking the symbol data. In order to support the semantics of thumb functions,
track symbol data in assembly streamer. Although O(n) in number of labels in
the TU, this is already done in various other streamers and as such the memory
overhead is not a practical concern in this scenario.

The revision I'm reverting breaks handling of transitive aliases. This blocks us
and breaks sanitizer bootstrap:
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/sanitizer-x86_64-linux-bootstrap/builds/2651
(and checked locally by Alexey).
This revision is the result of:
svn merge -r204059:204058 -r204028:204027 -r203962:203961 .
+ the regression test added to test/MC/ELF/alias.s
Another way to reproduce the regression with clang:
$ cat q.c
void a1();
void a2() __attribute__((alias("a1")));
void a3() __attribute__((alias("a2")));
void a1() {}
$ ~/work/llvm-build/bin/clang-3.5-good -c q.c && mv q.o good.o && \
~/work/llvm-build/bin/clang-3.5-bad -c q.c && mv q.o bad.o && \
objdump -t good.o bad.o

This performs the equivalent of a .set directive in that it creates a symbol
which is an alias for another symbol or value which may possibly be yet
undefined. This directive also has the added property in that it marks the
aliased symbol as being a thumb function entry point, in the same way that the
.thumb_func directive does.
The current implementation fails one test due to an unrelated issue. Functions
within .thumb sections are not marked as thumb_func. The result is that
the aliasee function is not valued correctly.
