Per post-commit feedback from Mike, have llvm-nm print out this symbol
attribute as "[cold func]".

8057a16e18 [MC] Teach the MachO object writer about N_FUNC_COLD
N_FUNC_COLD is a new MachO symbol attribute. It's a hint to the linker
to order a symbol towards the end of its section, to improve locality.

Example:

```
void a1() {}
__attribute__((cold)) void a2() {}
void a3() {}
int main() {
  a1();
  a2();
  a3();
  return 0;
}
```

A linker that supports N_FUNC_COLD will order _a2 to the end of the text
section. From `nm -njU` output, we see:

```
_a1
_a3
_main
_a2
```

d55cebfaec llvm-nm should show a symbol type of T for symbols in the (__TEXT_EXEC,__text) section.
When a the Apple link editor builds a kext bundle file type and the 
value of the -miphoneos-version-min argument is significantly current
(like 11.0) then the (__TEXT,__text) section is changed to the
(__TEXT_EXEC,__text) section.  So it would be nice for llvm-nm to
show symbols in that section with a type of T instead of the generic
type of S for some section other than text, data, etc.
