Fix several fixmes and clean up code by sinking *all* section
creation activity into the target-specific subclasses of TLOF.
Before this, globals with explicit sections could be created by
the base class.

1. make getOrCreateSection protected, add a new getExplicitSectionGlobal
pure virtual method to assign sections to globals with a specified
section.
2. eliminate getSpecialCasedSectionGlobals, which is now PIC specific.
3. eliminate the getKindForNamedSection virtual method, which is
now just a static method for ELF.
4. Add implementions of getExplicitSectionGlobal for ELF/PECOFF/Darwin/PIC16.
They are now all detangled and understandable, woo! :)

enhance codegen to put 16-bit character strings into the

fix a fixme: don't create an explicit "CStringSection" for ELF,
it is just being used as a prefix, so forward substitute it directly.

Add support emiting for 2/4 byte mergable strings to the ".rodata.str*"
section on ELF targets.

make MergeableCString be a SectionKind "abstract class", and
add new concrete versions for 1/2/4-byte mergable strings.

These are not actually created yet.

move getDwarfExceptionSection from TAI to TLOF and rename it to
getLSDASection() to be more specific. This makes it pretty obvious
that the ELF LSDA section is being specified wrong in PIC mode. We're
probably getting a lot of startup-time relocations to a readonly page,
which is expensive and bad.

Someone who cares about ELF C++ should investigate this.

Remove "JumpTableDataSection" from TAI, instead, have AsmPrinter
compute it based on what it knows. As part of this, rename getSectionForMergeableConstant
to getSectionForConstant because it works for non-mergable constants also.

The only functionality change from this is that Xcore will start dropping
its jump tables into readonly section instead of data section in -static mode.
This should be fine as the linker resolves the relocations. If this is a
problem, let me know and we'll come up with another solution.

Change SectionKind to be a property that is true of a *section*, it
should have no state that is specific to particular globals in the
section. In this case, it means the removal of the "isWeak" and
"ExplicitSection" bits. MCSection uses the new form of SectionKind.

To handle isWeak, I introduced a new SectionInfo class, which is
SectionKind + isWeak, and it is used by the part of the code generator
that does classification of a specific global.

The ExplicitSection disappears. It is moved onto MCSection as a new
"IsDirective" bit. Since the Name of a section is either a section
or directive, it makes sense to keep this bit in MCSection. Ultimately
the creator of MCSection should canonicalize (e.g.) .text to whatever
the actual section is.
