to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
For the amdpal OS type:
We write an AMDGPU_PAL_METADATA record in the .note section in the ELF
(or as an assembler directive). It contains key=value pairs of 32 bit
ints. It is a merge of metadata from codegen of the shaders, and
metadata provided by the frontend as _amdgpu_pal_metadata IR metadata.
Where both sources have a key=value with the same key, the two values
are ORed together.
This .note record is part of the amdpal ABI and will be documented in
docs/AMDGPUUsage.rst in a future commit.
Eventually the amdpal OS type will stop generating the .AMDGPU.config
section once the frontend has safely moved over to using the .note
records above instead of .AMDGPU.config.

Currently runtime metadata is emitted as an ELF section with name .AMDGPU.runtime_metadata.
However there is a standard way to convey vendor specific information about how to run an ELF binary, which is called vendor-specific note element (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/kernel/elf-notes.html).
This patch lets AMDGPU backend emits runtime metadata as a note element in .note section.
