This to protect against non-sensical instruction sequences being assembled,
which would either cause asserts/crashes further down, or a Wasm module being output that doesn't validate.
Unlike a validator, this type checker is able to give type-errors as part of the parsing process, which makes the assembler much friendlier to be used by humans writing manual input.
Because the MC system is single pass (instructions aren't even stored in MC format, they are directly output) the type checker has to be single pass as well, which means that from now on .globaltype and .functype decls must come before their use. An extra pass is added to Codegen to collect information for this purpose, since AsmPrinter is normally single pass / streaming as well, and would otherwise generate this information on the fly.
A `-no-type-check` flag was added to llvm-mc (and any other tools that take asm input) that surpresses type errors, as a quick escape hatch for tests that were not intended to be type correct.
This is a first version of the type checker that ignores control flow, i.e. it checks that types are correct along the linear path, but not the branch path. This will still catch most errors. Branch checking could be added in the future.

This reverts commit ac2be2b6a3.
This causes a whole much of emscripten tests to fail due to newly
undefined symbols appearing. Will investigate and look into re-landing
later.
This fixes two somewhat related issues. Firstly we were never
generating imports for weak functions (even with the `import-functions`
policy for undefined symbols). Adding a direct call to foo in the
`weak-undefined-pic.s` exposed a crash in the linker which this
change fixes.
Secondly we were failing to call `handleWeakUndefines` for the `-pie`
case which is PIC but doesn't set the undefined symbol policy to
`import-functions`. With this change `-pie` binaries will by default
call `handleWeakUndefines` which generates the undefined stub handlers
for any weakly undefined symbols.

We have two types of relocations that we apply on startup:
1. Relocations that apply to wasm globals
2. Relocations that apply to wasm memory
The first set of relocations use only the `__memory_base` import to
update a set of internal globals. Because wasm globals are thread local
these need to run on each thread. Memory relocations, like static
constructors, must only be run once.
To ensure global relocations run on all threads and because the only
depend on the immutable `__memory_base` import we can run them during
the WebAssembly start functions, instead of waiting until the
post-instantiation __wasm_call_ctors.

Without this extra flag we can't distingish between stub functions and
functions that happen to have address 0 (relative to __table_base).
Adding this flag bit the base symbol class actually avoids growing the
SymbolUnion struct which would not be true if we added it to the
FunctionSymbol subclass (due to bitbacking).
The previous approach of setting it's table index to zero worked for
normal static relocations but not for `-fPIC` code.
