This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Any code creating an MCSectionELF knows ELF and already provides the flags.
SectionKind is an abstraction used by common code that uses a plain
MCSection.
Use the flags to compute the SectionKind. This removes a lot of
guessing and boilerplate from the MCSectionELF construction.

than on MipsSubtargetInfo.
This required a bit of massaging in the MC level to handle this since
MC is a) largely a collection of disparate classes with no hierarchy,
and b) there's no overarching equivalent to the TargetMachine, instead
only the subtarget via MCSubtargetInfo (which is the base class of
TargetSubtargetInfo).
We're now storing the ABI in both the TargetMachine level and in the
MC level because the AsmParser and the TargetStreamer both need to
know what ABI we have to parse assembly and emit objects. The target
streamer has a pointer to the one in the asm parser and is updated
when the asm parser is created. This is fragile as the FIXME comment
notes, but shouldn't be a problem in practice since we always
create an asm parser before attempting to emit object code via the
assembler. The TargetMachine now contains the ABI so that the DataLayout
can be constructed dependent upon ABI.
All testcases have been updated to use the -target-abi command line
flag so that we can set the ABI without using a subtarget feature.
Should be no change visible externally here.

This abstraction allows us to support the various records that can be placed in
the .MIPS.options section in the future. We currently use it to record register
usage information (the ODK_REGINFO record in our ELF64 spec).
Each .MIPS.options record should subclass MipsOptionRecord and provide an
implementation of EmitMipsOptionRecord.
