Summary:
The directive defines a symbol as an group/local memory (LDS) symbol.
LDS symbols behave similar to common symbols for the purposes of ELF,
using the processor-specific SHN_AMDGPU_LDS as section index.
It is the linker and/or runtime loader's job to "instantiate" LDS symbols
and resolve relocations that reference them.
It is not possible to initialize LDS memory (not even zero-initialize
as for .bss).
We want to be able to link together objects -- starting with relocatable
objects, but possible expanding to shared objects in the future -- that
access LDS memory in a flexible way.
LDS memory is in an address space that is entirely separate from the
address space that contains the program image (code and normal data),
so having program segments for it doesn't really make sense.
Furthermore, we want to be able to compile multiple kernels in a
compilation unit which have disjoint use of LDS memory. In that case,
we may want to place LDS symbols differently for different kernels
to save memory (LDS memory is very limited and physically private to
each kernel invocation), so we can't simply place LDS symbols in a
.lds section.
Hence this solution where LDS symbols always stay undefined.

This reverts r362990 (git commit 374571301d)
This was causing linker warnings on Darwin:
ld: warning: direct access in function 'llvm::initializeEvexToVexInstPassPass(llvm::PassRegistry&)'
from file '../../lib/libLLVMX86CodeGen.a(X86EvexToVex.cpp.o)' to global weak symbol
'void std::__1::__call_once_proxy<std::__1::tuple<void* (&)(llvm::PassRegistry&),
std::__1::reference_wrapper<llvm::PassRegistry>&&> >(void*)' from file '../../lib/libLLVMCore.a(Verifier.cpp.o)'
means the weak symbol cannot be overridden at runtime. This was likely caused by different translation
units being compiled with different visibility settings.

Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.
A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.
This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%. This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so
One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.
Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l

Move the declarations of getThe<Name>Target() functions into a new header in
TargetInfo and make users of these functions include this new header.
This fixes a layering problem.

We should overall stop using these, but the uppercase name didn't
work. Any feature string is converted to lowercase, so these
could never be found in the table.

Summary:
PAL metadata now supports both the old linear reg=val pairs format and
the new MsgPack format.
The MsgPack format uses YAML as its textual representation. On output to
YAML, a mnemonic name is provided for some hardware registers.

Summary:
This commit introduces a new AMDGPUPALMetadata class that:
* is inside the AMDGPU target;
* keeps an in-memory representation of PAL metadata;
* provides a method to read the frontend-supplied metadata from LLVM IR;
* provides methods for the asm printer to set metadata items;
* provides methods to write the metadata as a binary blob to put in a
.note record or as an asm directive;
* provides a method to read the metadata as a binary blob from a .note
record.
Because llvm-readobj cannot call directly into a target, I had to remove
llvm-readobj's ability to dump PAL metadata, pending a resolution to

AMDGPU target run out of Subtarget feature flags hitting the limit of 64.
AssemblerPredicates uses at most uint64_t for their representation.
At the same time CodeGen has exhausted this a long time ago and switched
to a FeatureBitset with the current limit of 192 bits.
This patch completes transition to the bitset for feature bits extending
it to asm matcher and MC code emitter.
