This patch adds support for the MachO .alt_entry assembly directive, and uses
it for global aliases with non-zero GEP offsets. The alt_entry flag indicates
that a symbol should be layed out immediately after the preceding symbol.
Conceptually it introduces an alternate entry point for a function or data
structure. E.g.:
safe_foo:
// check preconditions for foo
.alt_entry fast_foo
fast_foo:
// body of foo, can assume preconditions.
The .alt_entry flag is also implicitly set on assembly aliases of the form:
a = b + C
where C is a non-zero constant, since these have the same effect as an
alt_entry symbol: they introduce a label that cannot be moved relative to the
preceding one. Setting the alt_entry flag on aliases of this form fixes

Also delete the now unused MCMachOSymbolFlags.h header as the only enum in there was moved to MCSymbolMachO.
Similarly to ELF and COFF, manipulating the flags is now done via helpers instead of spread
throughout the codebase.
