Summary:
Large-model was added first. With the addition of support for multiple PIC
models in LLVM, now add small-model PIC for 32-bit PowerPC, SysV4 ABI. This
generates more optimal code, for shared libraries with less than about 16380
data objects.
Test Plan: Test cases added or updated

This adds initial support for PPC32 ELF PIC (Position Independent Code; the
-fPIC variety), thus rectifying a long-standing deficiency in the PowerPC
backend.

doing global variable classification anymore) and hookized, sink almost
all target targets global variable emission code into AsmPrinter and out
of each target.
Some notes:
1. PIC16 does completely custom and crazy stuff, so it is not changed.
2. XCore has some custom handling for extra directives. I'll look at it next.
3. This switches linux/ppc to use .globl instead of .global. If .globl is
actually wrong, let me know and I'll fix it.
4. This makes linux/ppc get a lot of random cases right which were obviously
wrong before, it is probably now a bit healthier.
5. Blackfin will probably start getting .comm and other things that it didn't
before. If this is undesirable, it should explicitly opt out of these
things by clearing the relevant fields of MCAsmInfo.
This leads to a nice diffstat:
