Set correct default flags and section type based on its name for .text,
.data, .bss, .init_array, .fini_array, .preinit_array, .tdata, and .tbss
and support section name suffixes for .data.*, .rodata.*, .text.*,
.bss.*, .tdata.* and .tbss.* which matches the behavior of GAS.

GAS supports specification of section header's type using a numeric
value [1]. This patch brings the same functionality to LLVM. That allows
to setup some target-specific section types belong to the SHT_LOPROC -
SHT_HIPROC range. If we attempt to print unknown section type, MCSectionELF
class shows an error message. It's better than print sole '@' sign
without any section type name.
In case of MIPS, example of such section's type is SHT_MIPS_DWARF.
Without the patch we will have to implement some workarounds
in probably not-MIPS-specific part of code base to convert SHT_MIPS_DWARF
to the @progbits while printing assembly and to assign SHT_MIPS_DWARF for
@progbits sections named .debug_* if we encounter such section in
an input assembly.

Summary:
In a .symver assembler directive like:
.symver name, name2@@nodename
"name2@@nodename" should get the same symbol binding as "name".
While the ELF object writer is updating the symbol binding for .symver
aliases before emitting the object file, not doing so when the module
inline assembly is handled by the RecordStreamer is causing the wrong
behavior in *LTO mode.
E.g. when "name" is global, "name2@@nodename" must also be marked as
global. Otherwise, the symbol is skipped when iterating over the LTO
InputFile symbols (InputFile::Symbol::shouldSkip). So, for example,
when performing any *LTO via the gold-plugin, the versioned symbol
definition is not recorded by the plugin and passed back to the
linker. If the object was in an archive, and there were no other symbols
needed from that object, the object would not be included in the final
link and references to the versioned symbol are undefined.
The llvm-lto2 tests added will give an error about an unused symbol
resolution without the fix.

Summary:
GAS already allows flags for sections to be specified directly as a
numeric value. This functionality is particularly useful for setting
processor or application-specific values that may not be directly
supported or understood by LLVM. This patch allows LLVM to use numeric
section flag values verbatim if specified by the assembly file.

This implements execute-only support for ARM code generation, which
prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections.
The following changes are involved:
* Add the CodeGen option "-arm-execute-only" to the ARM code generator.
* Add the clang flag "-mexecute-only" as well as the GCC-compatible
alias "-mpure-code" to enable this option.
* When enabled, literal pools are replaced with MOVW/MOVT instructions,
with VMOV used in addition for floating-point literals. As the MOVT
instruction is required, execute-only support is only available in
Thumb mode for targets supporting ARMv8-M baseline or Thumb2.
* Jump tables are placed in data sections when in execute-only mode.
* The execute-only text section is assigned section ID 0, and is
marked as unreadable with the SHF_ARM_PURECODE flag with symbol 'y'.
This also overrides selection of ELF sections for globals.

If a section is rw, it is irrelevant if the dynamic linker will write to
it or not.
It looks like llvm implemented this because gcc was doing it. It looks
like gcc implemented this in the hope that it would put all the
relocated items close together and speed up the dynamic linker.
There are two problem with this:
* It doesn't work. Both bfd and gold will map .data.rel to .data and
concatenate the input sections in the order they are seen.
* If we want a feature like that, it can be implemented directly in the
linker since it knowns where the dynamic relocations are.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@253436 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
The way prelink used to work was
* The compiler decides if a given section only has relocations that
are know to point to the same DSO. If so, it names it
.data.rel.ro.local<something>.
* The static linker puts all of these together.
* The prelinker program assigns addresses to each library and resolves
the local relocations.
There are many problems with this:
* It is incompatible with address space randomization.
* The information passed by the compiler is redundant. The linker
knows if a given relocation is in the same DSO or not. If could sort
by that if so desired.
* There are newer ways of speeding up DSO (gnu hash for example).
* Even if we want to implement this again in the compiler, the previous
implementation is pretty broken. It talks about relocations that are
"resolved by the static linker". If they are resolved, there are none
left for the prelinker. What one needs to track is if an expression
will require only dynamic relocations that point to the same DSO.
At this point it looks like the prelinker is an historical curiosity.
For example, fedora has retired it because it failed to build for two
releases

Both MCStreamer and MCObjectStreamer were maintaining a current section
variable and they were slightly out of sync. I don't think this was observable,
but was inefficient and error prone.
Changing this requires a few cascading changes:
* SwitchSection has to call ChangeSection earlier for ChangeSection to see
the old section.
* With that change, ChangeSection cannot call EmitLabel, since during
ChangeSection we are still in the old section.
* When the object streamer requires a begin label, just reused the existing
generic support for begin labels instead of calling EmitLabel directly.

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.

GAS documents the .type directive as having an optional comma following the key
symbol name when using the STT_<TYPE_IN_UPPER_CASE> form. However, it treats
the comma as optional in all cases. This makes the IAS support both forms of
inputs. Furthermore, the prefixed forms take either the upper case name or the
lower case alias.
The tests are split into two separate sets as the hash character serves as a
comment character on x86, which is tested in the second set by using arm-elf
which uses the at symbol as a comment character.

ARM assembly syntax uses @ for a comment, execpt for the second
parameter of the .symver directive which requires @ as part of the
symbol name. This commit fixes the parsing of this directive by
adding a special case for ARM for this one argumnet.
To make the change we had to move the AllowAtInIdentifier variable
to the MCAsmLexer interface (from AsmLexer) and expose a setter for
the value. The ELFAsmParser then toggles this value when parsing
the second argument to the .symver directive for a target that
uses @ as a comment symbol
