On ELF every section can have a corresponding section symbol. When in
an assembly file we have
.quad .text
the '.text' refers to that symbol.
The way we used to handle them is to leave .text an undefined symbol
until the very end when the object writer would map them to the
actual section symbol.
The problem with that is that anything before the end would see an
undefined symbol. This could result in bad diagnostics
(test/MC/AArch64/label-arithmetic-diags-elf.s), or incorrect results
when using the asm streamer (est/MC/Mips/expansion-jal-sym-pic.s).
Fixing this will also allow using the section symbol earlier for
setting sh_link of SHF_METADATA sections.
This patch includes a few hacks to avoid changing our behaviour when
handling conflicts between section symbols and other symbols. I
reported pr31850 to track that.

The fix is just that getOther had not been updated for packing the st_other
values in fewer bits and could return spurious values:
- unsigned Other = (getFlags() & (0x3f << ELF_STO_Shift)) >> ELF_STO_Shift;
+ unsigned Other = (getFlags() & (0x7 << ELF_STO_Shift)) >> ELF_STO_Shift;
Original message:
Pack the MCSymbolELF bit fields into MCSymbol's Flags.
This reduces MCSymolfELF from 64 bytes to 56 bytes on x86_64.
While at it, also make getOther/setOther easier to use by accepting unshifted
STO_* values.

This avoids yet another last minute patching of the binding.
While at it, also simplify the weakref implementation a bit by not walking
past it in the expression evaluation.

With this getBinging can now return the correct answer for all cases not
involving a .symver and the elf writer doesn't need to patch it last minute.
