To support compressing the debug_line section that contains multiple
fragments (due, I believe, to variation in choices of line table
encoding depending on the size of instruction ranges in the actual
program code) we needed to support compressing multiple MCFragments in a
single pass.
This patch implements that behavior by mutating the post-relaxed and
relocated section to be the compressed form of its former self,
including renaming the section.
This is a more flexible (and less invasive, to a degree) implementation
that will allow for other features such as "use compression only if it's
smaller than the uncompressed data".
Compressing debug_frame would be a possible further extension to this
work, but I've left it for now. The hurdle there is alignment sections -
which might require going as far as to refactor
MCAssembler.cpp:writeFragment to handle writing to a byte buffer or an
MCObjectWriter (there's already a virtual call there, so it shouldn't
add substantial compile-time cost) which could in turn involve
refactoring MCAsmBackend::writeNopData to use that same abstraction...
which involves touching all the backends. This would remove the limited
handling of fragment writing seen in
ELFObjectWriter.cpp:getUncompressedData which would be nice - but it's
more invasive.
I did discover that I (perhaps obviously) don't need to handle
relocations when I rewrite the fragments - since the relocations have
already been applied and computed (and stored into
ELFObjectWriter::Relocations) by this stage (necessarily, because we
need to have written any immediate values or assembly-time relocations
into the data already before we compress it, which we have). The test
case doesn't necessarily cover that in detail - I can add more test
coverage if that's preferred.

This commit does not complete the type units feature - there are issues
around fission support (skeletal type units, pubtypes/pubnames) and
hashing of some types including those containing references to types in
other type units.
Originally committed as r197073 and reverted in r197079.
Recommitted as r197197 to reproduce the failure and reverted as r197199
Turns out there was unstable ordering in the type unit dumping code.
Fixed by using MapVector in DWARFContext to store the debug_types
comdat sections.
Recommitted as r197210 with a fix to dumping and reverted as r197211
because I was a bit gun shy and thought I saw a failure that turned out
to be unrelated.
So here we go - once more with feeling! \o/

Originally committed as r197073 and reverted in r197079.
This commit originally got jumbled up with another build-breaking commit
and I can't find the failures I thought this caused anymore.
Recommitting to hopefully get some clean buildbot results to work from.
I have a sneaking suspicion there's unstable output in the comdat group
output of MCStreamer...

This reverts commit r197073.
The test seems to be failing on some buildbots for unknown reasons.
Reverting until I can figure that out. If anyone's got a reproduction
(.s and .o together would be great) - I'd really appreciate it.

Most of these are updating the new R600 target and fixing up a few
regressions that have creeped in since the last time I sorted the
includes.

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!
This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

The original log entry:
Remove optimization emitting a reference insted of label difference, since
it can create more relocations. Removed isBaseAddressKnownZero method,
because it is no longer used.

- Of questionable utility, since in general anything which wants to do this should probably be within a target specific hook, which can rely on the sections being of the appropriate type. However, it can be useful for short term hacks.

However, I think that this directive should be safe on any ELF target.
If so, we should hoist it up out of the X86 and SystemZ targets.
