The n_type field in the symbol table entry has two interpretations in XCOFF32, and a single interpretation in XCOFF64.
The new interpretation is used in XCOFF32 if the value of the o_vstamp field in the auxiliary header is 2.
In XCOFF64 and the new XCOFF32 interpretation, the n_type field is used for the symbol type and visibility.
The patch writes the aux header with an o_vstamp field value of 2 when the visibility is specified in XCOFF32 to make the new XCOFF32 interpretation used.

We are going to change alignment for DWARF sections. This patch is to
fix functionality issue if the alignment is not the same with
DefaultSectionAlign defined in XCOFFObjectWriter.cpp.
Currently no test for this patch as for now alignment for DWARF sections
and other sections are always the same. This patch will be tested when
patch changing DWARF section is merged in.

This is a follow on to the revert of D84265 to add an error if we'd need
to write a non-zero visibility type in the xcoff object file. We can't
currently do that because we lack the auxilary header to interpret the
bits in XCOFF32. This is important because visibility is being enabled
in the assembly writing path, and without this error the visibility
could be silently ignored.

There's a few relevant forward declarations in there that may require downstream
adding explicit includes:
llvm/MC/MCContext.h no longer includes llvm/BinaryFormat/ELF.h, llvm/MC/MCSubtargetInfo.h, llvm/MC/MCTargetOptions.h
llvm/MC/MCObjectStreamer.h no longer include llvm/MC/MCAssembler.h
llvm/MC/MCAssembler.h no longer includes llvm/MC/MCFixup.h, llvm/MC/MCFragment.h
Counting preprocessed lines required to rebuild llvm-project on my setup:
before: 1052436830
after: 1049293745
Which is significant and backs up the change in addition to the usual benefits of
decreasing coupling between headers and compilation units.

Summary:
This patch implements the backend implementation of adding global variables
directly to the table of contents (TOC), rather than adding the address of the
variable to the TOC.
Currently, this patch will look for the "toc-data" attribute on symbols in the
IR, and then add those symbols to the TOC.
ATM, this is implemented for 32 bit AIX.

This patch adds support for TLS variables to the XCOFF object writer:
- Add TData and TBSS sections
- Add CsectGroups for the mapping classes XCOFF::XMC_TL and XCOFF::XMC_UL
- Add XMC_UL in the enum entry of CsectStorageMapping class to print the string
while reading the symbol properties for TLS variables
- Fix the starting address of TData and TBSS sections

Seems when DWARF debug is enable, symbol 0 has special usage

Summary:
In small code model, AIX assembler could not deal with labels that
could not be reached within the [-0x8000, 0x8000) range from TOC base.
So when generating the assembly, we would need to help the assembler
by subtracting an offset from the label to keep the actual value
within [-0x8000, 0x8000).

Summary:
For current architect, we always require setContainingCsect to be
called on every MCSymbol got used in XCOFF context.
This is very hard to achieve because symbols gets created everywhere
and other MCSymbol types(ELF, COFF) do not have similar rules.
It's very easy to miss setting the containing csect, and we would
need to add a lot of XCOFF specialized code around some common code area.
This patch intendeds to do
1. Rely on getFragment().getParent() to get csect from labels.
2. Only use get/setRepresentedCsect (was get/setContainingCsect)
if symbol itself represents a csect.

We need to handle the MCSA_LGlobal case in emitSymbolAttribute for functions marked internal in the IR so that the
appropriate storage class is emitted on the function descriptor csect. As part of this we need to make sure that external
labels are not emitted into the symbol table, so we don't emit the descriptor label in the object writing path.

I will add raw data testing as part of relocation testing later.
