These functions are about classifying a global which will actually be
emitted, so it does not make sense for them to take a GlobalValue which may
for example be an alias.
Change the Mach-O object writer and the Hexagon, Lanai and MIPS backends to
look through aliases before using TargetLoweringObjectFile interfaces. These
are functional changes but all appear to be bug fixes.

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.

This starts merging MCSection and MCSectionData.
There are a few issues with the current split between MCSection and
MCSectionData.
* It optimizes the the not as important case. We want the production
of .o files to be really fast, but the split puts the information used
for .o emission in a separate data structure.
* The ELF/COFF/MachO hierarchy is not represented in MCSectionData,
leading to some ad-hoc ways to represent the various flags.
* It makes it harder to remember where each item is.
The attached patch starts merging the two by moving the alignment from
MCSectionData to MCSection.
Most of the patch is actually just dropping 'const', since
MCSectionData is mutable, but MCSection was not.

Commit r181723 introduced code to avoid placing initialized variables
needing relocations into the .rodata section, which avoid copy relocs
that do not work as expected on ppc64 function references.
The same treatment is also needed for *named* .rodata.XXX sections.
This patch changes PPC64LinuxTargetObjectFile::SelectSectionForGlobal
to modify "Kind" *before* calling the default SelectSectionForGlobal
routine, instead of first calling the default routine and then just
checking for the (main) .rodata section afterwards.

code to see if we're emitting a function into a non-default
text section. This is still a less-than-ideal solution, but more
contained than r199871 to determine whether or not we're emitting
code into an array of comdat sections.

e.g. linkonce, to TargetMachine and set it when we've done so
for ELF targets currently. This involved making TargetMachine
non-const in a TLOF use and propagating that change around - I'm
open to other ideas.
This will be used in a future commit to handle emitting debug
information with ranges.

This adds an implementation of getDebugThreadLocalSymbol for
(64-bit) PowerPC. This needs to return a generic MCExpr
since on ppc64, we need to add a bias of 0x8000 to the
value returned by the R_PPC64_DTPREL64 relocation.

This fixes warning messages observed in the oggenc application test in
projects/test-suite. Special handling is needed for the 64-bit
PowerPC SVR4 ABI when a constant is initialized with a pointer to a
function in a shared library. Because a function address is
implemented as the address of a function descriptor, the use of copy
relocations can lead to problems with initialization. GNU ld
therefore replaces copy relocations with dynamic relocations to be
resolved by the dynamic linker. This means the constant cannot reside
in the read-only data section, but instead belongs in .data.rel.ro,
which is designed for constants containing dynamic relocations.
The implementation creates a class PPC64LinuxTargetObjectFile
inheriting from TargetLoweringObjectFileELF, which behaves like its
parent except to place constants of this sort into .data.rel.ro.
The test case is reduced from the oggenc application.

LSDA into the TEXT section. We need to generate non-lazy pointers to it on
Mach-O. However, the object the NLP points to may be local to the translation
unit. If so, then the NLP needs to have the value of that object specified
instead of "0", which the linker interprets as "external".
