MCDwarf emits a canned abbreviation table, but was not emitting proper
forms for DWARF version 4, which is the default after r249655.

InitMCObjectFileInfo was trying to override the triple in awkward ways.
For example, a triple specifying COFF but not Windows was forced as ELF.
This makes it easy for internal invariants to get violated, such as
those which triggered PR25912.
This fixes PR25912.

Today, we always take into account the possibility that object files
produced by MC may be consumed by an incremental linker. This results
in us initialing fields which vary with time (TimeDateStamp) which harms
hermetic builds (e.g. verifying a self-host went well) and produces
sub-optimal code because we cannot assume anything about the relative
position of functions within a section (call sites can get redirected
through incremental linker thunks).
Let's provide an MCTargetOption which controls this behavior so that we
can disable this functionality if we know a-priori that the build will
not rely on /incremental.

Support for COFF timestamps was unintentionally broken in r246905 when
it was conditionally available depending on whether or not LLVM was
configured with LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS. However, Config/config.h was
never included which essentially broke the feature. Due to lax testing,
the breakage was never identified until we observed strange failures
during incremental links of Chromium.
This issue is resolved by simply including Config/config.h in
WinCOFFObjectWriter and teaching lit that the MC/COFF/timestamp.s test
is conditionally supported depending on LLVM_ENABLE_TIMESTAMPS. With
this in place, we can strengthen the test to ensure that it will not
accidentally get broken in the future.
This fixes PR25891.

These days relocations are created and stored in a deterministic way.
The order they are created is also suitable for the .o file, so we don't
need an explicit sort.
The last remaining exception is MIPS.

This is very rudimentary support for debug_cu_index, but it is enough to
allow llvm-dwarfdump to find the offsets for contributions and
correctly dump debug_info.
It will need to actually find the real signature of the unit and build
the real hash table with the right number of buckets, as per the DWP
specification.
It will also need to be expanded to cover the tu_index as well.

The COFF object writer was previously adding unnecessary symbols to its
temporary data structures and cleaning them up later. This made the code
harder to understand and caused a bug (aliases classed as temporary symbols
would cause an assertion failure). A much simpler way of handling such
symbols is to ask the layout for their section-relative position when needed.
Tested with a bootstrap on Windows and by building Chrome.

Starting on an input stream that is not at offset 0 would trigger the

If a section is rw, it is irrelevant if the dynamic linker will write to
it or not.
It looks like llvm implemented this because gcc was doing it. It looks
like gcc implemented this in the hope that it would put all the
relocated items close together and speed up the dynamic linker.
There are two problem with this:
* It doesn't work. Both bfd and gold will map .data.rel to .data and
concatenate the input sections in the order they are seen.
* If we want a feature like that, it can be implemented directly in the
linker since it knowns where the dynamic relocations are.

Currently, if the assembler encounters an error after parsing (such as an
out-of-range fixup), it reports this as a fatal error, and so stops after the
first error. However, for most of these there is an obvious way to recover
after emitting the error, such as emitting the fixup with a value of zero. This
means that we can report on all of the errors in a file, not just the first
one. MCContext::reportError records the fact that an error was encountered, so
we won't actually emit an object file with the incorrect contents.

This adds reportError to MCContext, which can be used as an alternative to
reportFatalError when the assembler wants to try to continue processing the
rest of the file after the error is reported, so that all of the errors ina
file can be reported. It records the fact that an error was encountered, so we
can avoid emitting an object file if any errors occurred.
This patch doesn't add any uses of this function (a later patch will convert
most uses of reportFatalError to use it), but there is a small functional
change: we use the SourceManager to print the error message, even if we have a
null SMLoc. This means that we get a SourceManager-style message, with the file
and line information shown as <unknown>, rather than the "LLVM ERROR" style
used by report_fatal_error.

The way prelink used to work was
* The compiler decides if a given section only has relocations that
are know to point to the same DSO. If so, it names it
.data.rel.ro.local<something>.
* The static linker puts all of these together.
* The prelinker program assigns addresses to each library and resolves
the local relocations.
There are many problems with this:
* It is incompatible with address space randomization.
* The information passed by the compiler is redundant. The linker
knows if a given relocation is in the same DSO or not. If could sort
by that if so desired.
* There are newer ways of speeding up DSO (gnu hash for example).
* Even if we want to implement this again in the compiler, the previous
implementation is pretty broken. It talks about relocations that are
"resolved by the static linker". If they are resolved, there are none
left for the prelinker. What one needs to track is if an expression
will require only dynamic relocations that point to the same DSO.
At this point it looks like the prelinker is an historical curiosity.
For example, fedora has retired it because it failed to build for two
releases

This patch removes support for it. That is, it stops printing the
".local" sections.

Storing the source location of the expression that created a constant pool
entry allows us to emit better error messages if we later discover that the
expression cannot be represented by a relocation.

MCRelaxableFragment previously kept a copy of MCSubtargetInfo and
MCInst to enable re-encoding the MCInst later during relaxation. A copy
of MCSubtargetInfo (instead of a reference or pointer) was needed
because the feature bits could be modified by the parser.
This commit replaces the MCSubtargetInfo copy in MCRelaxableFragment
with a constant reference to MCSubtargetInfo. The copies of
MCSubtargetInfo are kept in MCContext, and the target parsers are now
responsible for asking MCContext to provide a copy whenever the feature
bits of MCSubtargetInfo have to be toggled.
With this patch, I saw a 4% reduction in peak memory usage when I
compiled verify-uselistorder.lto.bc using llc.

Summary:
Support for R_MIPS_NONE allows us to parse MIPS16's usage of .reloc.
R_MIPS_32 was included to be able to better test the directive.
Targets can add their relocations by overriding MCAsmBackend::getFixupKind().
