- Honor .globl.
- Set symbol type and section correctly ('nm' now works), and order symbols
appropriately.
- Take care to the string table so that the .o matches 'as' exactly (for ease
of testing).

(external was really undefined and there wasn't an explicit representation for
absolute symbols).
- This still needs some cleanup to how the absolute "pseudo" section is dealt
with, but I haven't figured out the nicest approach yet.

(e.g., .objc_message_refs).
- Just emit a .align when we see the directive; this isn't exactly what 'as'
does but in practice it should be ok, at least for now. See FIXME.

- Together these form the (Mach-O) back end of the assembler.
- MCAssembler is the actual assembler backend, which is designed to have a
reasonable API. This will eventually grow to support multiple object file
implementations, but for now its Mach-O/i386 only.
- MCMachOStreamer adapts the MCStreamer "actions" API to the MCAssembler API,
e.g. converting the various directives into fragments, managing state like
the current section, and so on.
- llvm-mc will use the new backend via '-filetype=obj', which may eventually
be, but is not yet, since I hear that people like assemblers which actually
assemble.
- The only thing that works at the moment is changing sections. For the time
being I have a Python Mach-O dumping tool in test/scripts so this stuff can
be easily tested, eventually I expect to replace this with a real LLVM tool.
- More doxyments to come.
I assume that since this stuff doesn't touch any of the things which are part of
2.6 that it is ok to put this in not so long before the freeze, but if someone
objects let me know, I can pull it.

over absolute addressing even in non-PIC mode (unless the address
has an index or something else incompatible), because it has a
smaller encoding.

array member of a struct, it's possible to land in an arbitrary position
inside that struct, such that attempting to find further getelementptr
indices will fail. In such cases, folding cannot be done.

static extents of the static array type, it causes GlobalOpt and
other passes to be more conservative. This canonicalization also
allows the constant folder to add "inbounds" to GEPs.

This is derived from a patch by Anton Korzh. I modified it to recognize
the VEXT shuffles during legalization and lower them to a target-specific
DAG node.
