This patch replaces RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo with JITSymbol: A symbol class
that is capable of lazy materialization (i.e. the symbol definition needn't be
emitted until the address is requested). This can be used to support common
and weak symbols in the JIT (though this is not implemented in this patch).
For consistency, RuntimeDyld::SymbolResolver is renamed to JITSymbolResolver.
For space efficiency a new class, JITEvaluatedSymbol, is introduced that
behaves like the old RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo - i.e. it is just a pair of an
address and symbol flags. Instances of JITEvaluatedSymbol can be used in
symbol-tables to avoid paying the space cost of the materializer.

This tidies up some code that was manually constructing RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo
instances from JITSymbols. It will save more mess in the future when
JITSymbol::getAddress is extended to return an Expected<TargetAddress> rather
than just a TargetAddress, since we'll be able to embed the error checking in
the conversion.

This is a work in progress - the chapter text is incomplete, though
the example code compiles and runs.
Feedback and patches are, as usual, most welcome.
