Nico Rieck 8e22855ea6 MC: Support COFF image-relative MCSymbolRefs
Add support for the COFF relocation types IMAGE_REL_I386_DIR32NB and
IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB for 32- and 64-bit respectively. These are
similar to normal 4-byte relocations except that they do not include
the base address of the image.

Image-relative relocations are used for debug information (32-bit) and
SEH unwind tables (64-bit).

A new MCSymbolRef variant called 'VK_COFF_IMGREL32' is introduced to
specify such relocations. For AT&T assembly, this variant can be accessed
using the symbol suffix '@imgrel'.

Introduction
============
This document describes extensions to tools and formats LLVM seeks compatibility
with.
Machine-specific Assembly Syntax
================================
X86/COFF-Dependent
------------------
The following additional relocation type is supported:
**@IMGREL** (AT&T syntax only) generates an image-relative relocation that
corresponds to the COFF relocation types ``IMAGE_REL_I386_DIR32NB`` (32-bit) or
``IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB`` (64-bit).
