When LLVM emits DWARF call frame information, it currently creates a local,
section-relative symbol in the code section, which is pointed to by a
relocation on the .eh_frame section. However, for C++ we emit some functions in
section groups, and the SysV ABI has some rules to make it easier to remove
these sections
(http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html#section_group_rules):
A symbol table entry with STB_LOCAL binding that is defined relative to one
of a group's sections, and that is contained in a symbol table section that is
not part of the group, must be discarded if the group members are discarded.
References to this symbol table entry from outside the group are not allowed.
This means that we need to use the function symbol for the relocation, not a
temporary symbol.
There was a comment in the code claiming that the local symbol was used to
avoid creating a relocation, but a relocation must be created anyway as the
code and CFI are in different sections.

Currently, llvm always emits a DWARF CIE with a version of 1, even when emitting
DWARF 3 or 4, which both support CIE version 3. This patch makes it emit the
newer CIE version when we are emitting DWARF 3 or 4. This will not reduce
compatibility, as we already emit other DWARF3/4 features, and is worth doing as
the DWARF3 spec removed some ambiguities in the interpretation of call frame
information.
It also fixes a minor bug where the "return address" field of the CIE was
encoded as a ULEB128, which is only valid when the CIE version is 3. There are
no test changes for this, because (as far as I can tell) none of the platforms
that we test have a return address register with a DWARF register number >127.

The CodeGen aspects of this test are already covered by cfi-frame.ll;
making it an assembly file reduces the risk of incidental changes
affecting the test.
