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.

wasm64 was missing DAG ISEL patterns for external symbol based global.get, but simply adding these analogous to the existing 32-bit versions doesn't work.
This is because we are conflating the 32-bit global index with the pointer represented by the external symbol, which for wasm32 happened to work.
The simplest fix is to pretend we have a 64-bit global index. This sounds incorrect, but is immaterial since once this index is stored as a MachineOperand it becomes 64-bit anyway (and has been all along). As such, the EmitInstrWithCustomInserter based implementation I experimented with become a no-op and no further changes in the C++ code are required.

The current PIC support currently only works with Emscripten, so
disable it for other targets.
This is the PIC portion of https://reviews.llvm.org/D62542.

This change implements lowering of references global symbols in PIC
mode.
This change implements lowering of global references in PIC mode using a
new @GOT reference type. @GOT references can be used with function or
data symbol names combined with the get_global instruction. In this case
the linker will insert the wasm global that stores the address of the
symbol (either in memory for data symbols or in the wasm table for
function symbols).
For now I'm continuing to use the R_WASM_GLOBAL_INDEX_LEB relocation
type for this type of reference which means that this relocation type
can refer to either a global or a function or data symbol. We could
choose to introduce specific relocation types for GOT entries in the
future. See the current dynamic linking proposal:
