Today, we always take into account the possibility that object files
produced by MC may be consumed by an incremental linker. This results
in us initialing fields which vary with time (TimeDateStamp) which harms
hermetic builds (e.g. verifying a self-host went well) and produces
sub-optimal code because we cannot assume anything about the relative
position of functions within a section (call sites can get redirected
through incremental linker thunks).
Let's provide an MCTargetOption which controls this behavior so that we
can disable this functionality if we know a-priori that the build will
not rely on /incremental.

Windows supports a restricted set of relocations (compared to ARM ELF). In some
cases, we may end up generating an unsupported relocation. This can occur with
bad input to the assembler in particular (the frontend should never generate
code that cannot be compiled). Generate an error rather than just aborting.
The change in the API is driven by the desire to provide a slightly more helpful
message for debugging purposes.
