Section symbols exist as an optimization: instead of having multiple relocations
point to different symbols, many of them can point to a single section symbol.
When that optimization is unused, a section symbol is also unused and adds no
extra information to the object file.
This saves a bit of space on the object files and makes the output of
llvm-objdump -t easier to read and consequently some tests get quite a bit
simpler.

The fix is just that getOther had not been updated for packing the st_other
values in fewer bits and could return spurious values:
- unsigned Other = (getFlags() & (0x3f << ELF_STO_Shift)) >> ELF_STO_Shift;
+ unsigned Other = (getFlags() & (0x7 << ELF_STO_Shift)) >> ELF_STO_Shift;
Original message:
Pack the MCSymbolELF bit fields into MCSymbol's Flags.
This reduces MCSymolfELF from 64 bytes to 56 bytes on x86_64.
While at it, also make getOther/setOther easier to use by accepting unshifted
STO_* values.

This avoids yet another last minute patching of the binding.
While at it, also simplify the weakref implementation a bit by not walking
past it in the expression evaluation.

With this getBinging can now return the correct answer for all cases not
involving a .symver and the elf writer doesn't need to patch it last minute.

Some temporary symbols are created by MC itself. These symbols are never used
for lookup and are never included in the object symbol table, so we can
avoid creating a name for them.
Other temporaries are created by CodeGen or by the user by explicitly asking
for a name starting with .L (or L on MachO).
These temporaries behave like regular symbols, we just try to avoid including
them in the object symbol table, but sometimes they end up there:
const char *foo() {
return "abc" + 3;
}
will have a relocation pointing to a .L symbol.
It just so happens that almost all MC created temporary has the AlwaysAddSuffix
option and CodeGen/user created ones don't.
One interesting future optimization would be to use unnamed symbols for
all temporaries, but that would require use an st_name of 0 or
having the object writer create the names if a symbol does end up in the
symbol table.
No testcase since this just avoid creating a few extra names for MC created
temporaries.

Summary:
Following on from r209907 which made personality encodings indirect, do the
same for TType encodings. This fixes the case where a try/catch block needs
to generate references to, for example, std::exception in the
.gcc_except_table.
Previous attempts at committing this broke the buildbots due to bugs in IAS.
These bugs have now been fixed so trying again.

This create a MCSymbolELF class and moves SymbolSize since only ELF
needs a size expression.
This reduces the size of MCSymbol from 56 to 48 bytes.

There is no MCSectionData, so the old name is now meaningless.
Also remove some asserts/checks that were there just because the information
they used was in MCSectionData.

.safeseh adds an entry to the .sxdata section to register all the
appropriate functions which may handle an exception. This entry is not
a relocation to the symbol but instead the symbol table index of the
function.

If the type isn't trivially moveable emplace can skip a potentially
expensive move. It also saves a couple of characters.
Call sites were found with the ASTMatcher + some semi-automated cleanup.
memberCallExpr(
argumentCountIs(1), callee(methodDecl(hasName("push_back"))),
on(hasType(recordDecl(has(namedDecl(hasName("emplace_back")))))),
hasArgument(0, bindTemporaryExpr(
hasType(recordDecl(hasNonTrivialDestructor())),
has(constructExpr()))),
unless(isInTemplateInstantiation()))
No functional change intended.

Symbols are no longer required to be named, but this leads to a crash here if an
unnamed symbol checks that its first character is '$'.
Change the code to first check for a name, then check its first character.
No test case i'm afraid as this is debugging code, but any test case with temp labels
and 'llc --debug --filetype=obj' would have crashed.

Small (really small!) C++ exception handling examples work on 32-bit x86
now.
This change disables the use of .seh_* directives in WinException when
CFI is not in use. It also uses absolute symbol references in the tables
instead of imagerel32 relocations.
Also fixes a cache invalidation bug in MMI personality classification.

And with that simplify the logic for inserting them in ExternalSymbolData or
LocalSymbolData.
No functionality change overall since the old code avoided the isLocal bug.

ELF has no restrictions on where undefined symbols go relative to other defined
symbols. In fact, gas just sorts them together. Do the same.
This was there since r111174 probably just because the MachO writer has it.

It caused a smaller number of failures than the previous attempt at committing but still caused a couple on the llvm-linux-mips builder. Reverting while I investigate the remainder.
