MCFragment didn't really need vtables. The majority of virtual methods were just getters and setters.
This removes the vtables and uses dispatch on the kind to do things like delete which needs to
get the appropriate class.
This reduces memory on the verify use list order test case by about 2MB out of 800MB.

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.

This allows the compiler/assembly programmer to switch back to a
section. This in turn fixes the bootstrap failure on powerpc (tested
on gcc110) without changing the ppc codegen at all.
I will try to cleanup the various getELFSection overloads in a followup patch.
Just using a default argument now would lead to ambiguities.

There is now a canonical symbol at the end of a section that different
passes can request.
This also allows us to assert that we don't switch back to a section whose
end symbol has already been printed.

This lets us pass the symbol to the constructor and avoid the mutable field.
This also opens the way for outputting the symbol only when needed, instead
of outputting them at the start of the file.

This makes code that uses section relative expressions (debug info) simpler and
less brittle.
This is still a bit awkward as the symbol is created late and has to be
stored in a mutable field.
I will move the symbol creation earlier in the next patch.

When referring to a symbol in a dwarf section on ELF we should use
.long foo
instead of
.long foo - .debug_something
because ELF is unaware of the content of the sections and therefore needs
relocations. This has nothing to do with optimizing a -0.

They mark the start of a compile unit, so name them .Lcu_*. Using
Section->getLabelBeginName() makes it looks like they mark the start of the
section.
While at it, switch to createTempSymbol to avoid collisions with labels
created in inline assembly. Not sure if a "don't crash" test is worth it.
With this getLabelBeginName is dead, delete it.

llvm-gcc-i386-linux-selfhost and llvm-x86_64-linux-checks buildbots.
The original log entry:
Remove optimization emitting a reference insted of label difference, since
it can create more relocations. Removed isBaseAddressKnownZero method,
because it is no longer used.

- Of questionable utility, since in general anything which wants to do this should probably be within a target specific hook, which can rely on the sections being of the appropriate type. However, it can be useful for short term hacks.
