Summary:
This adds support for the 'event section' specified in the exception
handling proposal. (This was named 'exception section' first, but later
renamed to 'event section' to take possibilities of other kinds of
events into consideration. But currently we only store exception info in
this section.)
The event section is added between the global section and the export
section. This is for ease of validation per request of the V8 team.
This patch:
- Creates the event symbol type, which is a weak symbol
- Makes 'throw' instruction take the event symbol '__cpp_exception'
- Adds relocation support for events
- Adds WasmObjectWriter / WasmObjectFile (Reader) support
- Adds obj2yaml / yaml2obj support
- Adds '.eventtype' printing support

This allows to set custom Info field value for SHT_GROUP sections.

Currently, it is possible to use yaml2obj for producing SHT_GROUP sections

r327219 added wrappers to std::sort which randomly shuffle the container before sorting.
This will help in uncovering non-determinism caused due to undefined sorting
order of objects having the same key.
To make use of that infrastructure we need to invoke llvm::sort instead of std::sort.
Note: This patch is one of a series of patches to replace *all* std::sort to llvm::sort.

Teach yaml2obj how to make a bigobj COFF file. Like the rest of LLVM,
we automatically decide whether or not to use regular COFF or bigobj

This ends the task of adding bigobj support to LLVM.
N.B. This was tested by forcing yaml2obj to be used in bigobj mode
regardless of the number of sections. While a dedicated test was
written, the smallest I could make it was 36 MB (!) of yaml and it still

compile the same file *again* but with another flag. This matches up
with how LLVM treats ELF variants.
This was tested by forcing LLVM to always emit BigObj files and running
the entire test suite. A specific test has also been added.
I've lowered the maximum number of sections in a normal COFF file,
VS "14" CTP 3 supports no more than 65279 sections. This is important
otherwise we might not switch to BigObj quickly enough, leaving us with
a COFF file that we couldn't link.
yaml2obj support is all that remains to implement.
