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 `R_WASM_MEMORY_ADDR_SELFREL_I32` relocation represents an offset
between its relocating address and the symbol address. It's very similar
to `R_X86_64_PC32` but restricted to be used for only data segments.
```
S + A - P
```
A: Represents the addend used to compute the value of the relocatable
field.
P: Represents the place of the storage unit being relocated.
S: Represents the value of the symbol whose index resides in the
relocation entry.

WebAssembly doesn't support PC relative relocation or relocation
expressions that can't be reduced to single symbol.
The only support for we have for fixups involving two symbols are when
both symbols are defined and withing the same section. In this case
evaluateFixup will already have evaluated to the expression before
calling recordRelocation.
