The patch supports common STV_xxx visibility flags and MIPS specific
STO_MIPS_xxx flags.

The GNU as behavior is a bit different and very strange. It will mark any
label that contains an instruction. We can implement that, but using the
type looks more natural since gas will not mark a function if a .word is
used to output the instructions!

No true functional changes.
Change the "hack" name of emitMipsHackSTOCG to emitSymSTO.
Remove demonstration code in AsmParser for emitMipsHackSTOCG and
emitMipsHackELFFlags. The STO field is in an ELF symbol and is not
an explicit directive. That said, we are missing the compliment call
in AsmParser and that will need to be addressed soon.
XFAIL dummy tests for emitMipsHackELFFlags and emitMipsHackELFFlags.
These will built out with following patches.

When MC was first added, targets could use hasRawTextSupport to keep features
working before they were added to the MC interface.
The design goal of MC is to provide an uniform api for printing assembly and
object files. Short of relaxations and other corner cases, a object file is
just another representation of the assembly.
It was never the intention that targets would keep doing things like
if (hasRawTextSupport())
Set flags in one way.
else
Set flags in another way.
When they do that they create two code paths and the object file is no longer
just another representation of the assembly. This also then requires testing
with llc -filetype=obj, which is extremelly brittle.
This patch removes some of these hacks by replacing them with smaller ones.
The ARM flag setting is trivial, so I just moved it to the constructor. For
Mips, the patch adds two temporary hack directives that allow the assembly
to represent the same things as the object file was already able to.
The hope is that the mips developers will replace the hack directives with
the same ones that gas uses and drop the -print-hack-directives flag.
I will also try to implement a target streamer interface, so that we can
move this out of the common code.
In summary, for any new work, two rules of the thumb are
* Don't use "llc -filetype=obj" in tests.
* Don't add calls to hasRawTextSupport.
