* Use uleb128 for code offsets in the LSDA call site table.
* Omit the TTBase offset if the type table is empty.
This change can reduce the size of the DWARF/Itanium LSDA by about half.

Rely on the assembler to finalize the layout of the DWARF/Itanium
exception-handling LSDA. Rather than calculate the exact size of each
thing in the LSDA, use assembler directives:
To emit the offset to the TTBase label:
.uleb128 .Lttbase0-.Lttbaseref0
.Lttbaseref0:
To emit the size of the call site table:
.uleb128 .Lcst_end0-.Lcst_begin0
.Lcst_begin0:
... call site table entries ...
.Lcst_end0:
To align the type info table:
... action table ...
.balign 4
.long _ZTIi
.long _ZTIl
.Lttbase0:
Using assembler directives simplifies the compiler and allows switching
the encoding of offsets in the call site table from udata4 to uleb128 for
a large code size savings. (This commit does not change the encoding.)
The combination of the uleb128 followed by a balign creates an unfortunate
dependency cycle that the assembler must sometimes resolve either by
padding an LEB or by inserting zero padding before the type table. See
PR35809 or GNU as bug 4029.

For historic reasons, the behavior of .align differs between targets.
Fortunately, there are alternatives, .p2align and .balign, which make the
interpretation of the parameter explicit, and which behave consistently across
targets.
This patch teaches MC to use .p2align instead of .align, so that people reading
code for multiple architectures don't have to remember which way each platform
does its .align directive.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

If the function has the landingpad instruction, then the
handlerdata should be emitted even if the function has
nouwnind attribute. Otherwise, following code will not
work:
void test1() noexcept {
try {
throw_exception();
} catch (...) {
log_unexpected_exception();
}
}
Since the cantunwind was incorrectly emitted and the
LSDA is not available.
