actuall addresses in a .o file, so it is better to let the MachO writer compute
it.
This is good for two reasons. First, areas that shouldn't care about
addresses now don't have access to it. Second, the layout of each section
is independent. I should use this in a subsequent commit to speed it up.
Most of the patch is just removing the section address computation. The two
interesting parts are the change on how we handle padding in the end
of sections and how MachO can get the address of a-b when a and b are in
different sections.
Since now the expression evaluation normally doesn't know the section address,
it will think that a-b needs relocation and let the MachO writer know. Once
it has computed the section addresses, it calls back the expression evaluation
with the section addresses to resolve these expressions.
The remaining problem is the handling of padding. Currently it will create
a special alignment fragment at the end. Since that fragment doesn't update
the alignment of the section, it needs the real address to be computed.
Since now the layout will not compute a-b with a and b in different sections,
the only effect that the special alignment fragment has is update the
address size of the section. This can also be done by the MachO writer.

MCStreamer instead of just MCObjectStreamer. Address changes cannot
be as efficient as we have to use DW_LNE_set_addres, but at least
most of the logic is shared.
This will be used so that, with CodeGen still using EmitDwarfLocDirective,
llvm-gcc is able to produce debug_line sections without needing an
assembler that supports .loc.

variable if recursing fails to simplify it.
Factor AliasedSymbol to be a method of MCSymbol.
Update MCAssembler::EvaluateFixup to match the change in
EvaluateAsRelocatableImpl.
Remove the WeakRefExpr hack, as the object writer now sees the weakref with
no extra effort needed.
Nothing else is using MCTargetExpr, but keep it for now.
Now that the ELF writer sees relocations with aliases, handle
.weak foo2
foo2:
.weak bar2
.set bar2,foo2
.quad bar2
the same way gas does and produce a relocation with bar2.

The ELF implementation now creates text, data and bss to match the gnu as
behavior.
The text streamer still has the old MachO specific behavior since
the testsuite checks that it will error when a directive is given
before a setting the current section for example.
A nice benefit is that -n is not required anymore when producing
ELF files.
