.zero is confusing when used with two arguments. Documentation:
This directive emits SIZE 0-valued bytes. SIZE must be an absolute
expression. This directive is actually an alias for the '.skip'
directive so in can take an optional second argument of the value to
store in the bytes instead of zero. Using '.zero' in this way would be
confusing however.

Hexagon and Sparc do the same, and it's all the same to WebAssembly so
let's pick the less confusing of the two.

The MC assembler doesn't like using the empty string as a private label
prefix because then it treats all labels as private. This commit reverts
back to the default prefix, which is .L, which is common in ELF targets
and consistent with the LLVM name mangler.

This new syntax is built around putting each instruction on its own line
in a "mnemonic op, op, op" like syntax. It also uses conventional data
section directives like ".byte" and so on rather than requiring everything
to be in hierarchical S-expression format. This is a more natural syntax
for a ".s" file format from the perspective of LLVM MC and related tools,
while remaining easy to translate into other forms as needed.

Do the same for .weak (not implemented for now, but may as well to it). Update comment string to two semicolons.
