Extends the Asm reader/writer to support reading and writing the

Uses the new Aarch64 MemtagABI specification
(https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/memtagabielf64/memtagabielf64.rst)
to identify symbols as tagged in object files. This is done using a
R_AARCH64_NONE relocation that identifies each tagged symbol, and these
relocations are tagged in a special SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC
section. This signals to the linker that the global variable should be
tagged.

For the AIX linker, under default options, global or weak symbols which
have no visibility bits set to zero (i.e. no visibility, similar to ELF
default) are only exported if specified on an export list provided to
the linker. So AIX has an additional visibility style called
"exported" which indicates to the linker that the symbol should
be explicitly globally exported.
This change maps "dllexport" in the LLVM IR to correspond to XCOFF
exported as we feel this best models the intended semantic (discussion
on the discourse RFC thread: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-exported-visibility-style-to-the-ir-to-model-xcoff-exported-visibility/61853)
and allows us to enable writing this visibility for the AIX target
in the assembly path.

Every client of the target registry needs to link against MC anyway to
actually use the target, so we might as well move this out of Support.

As described on D111049, we're trying to remove the <string> dependency from error handling and replace uses of report_fatal_error(const std::string&) with the Twine() variant which can be forward declared.
In preparation for passing the MCSubtargetInfo (STI) through to writeNops
so that it can use the STI in operation at the time, we need to record the
STI in operation when a MCAlignFragment may write nops as padding. The
STI is currently unused, a further patch will pass it through to
writeNops.
There are many places that can create an MCAlignFragment, in most cases
we can find out the STI in operation at the time. In a few places this
isn't possible as we are in initialisation or finalisation, or are
emitting constant pools. When possible I've tried to find the most
appropriate existing fragment to obtain the STI from, when none is
available use the per module STI.
For constant pools we don't actually need to use EmitCodeAlign as the
constant pools are data anyway so falling through into it via an
executable NOP is no better than falling through into data padding.
This is a prerequisite for D45962 which uses the STI to emit the
appropriate NOP for the STI. Which can differ per fragment.
Note that involves an interface change to InitSections. It is now
called initSections and requires a SubtargetInfo as a parameter.

Enable the emission of a GNU attributes section by reusing the code for

The GNU attributes follow the exact same section format as the ARM

... even on targets preferring RELA. The section is only consumed by ld.lld
which can handle REL.
Follow-up to D104080 as I explained in the review. There are two advantages:
* The D104080 code only handles RELA, so arm/i386/mips32 etc may warn for -fprofile-use=/-fprofile-sample-use= usage.
* Decrease object file size for RELA targets
While here, change the relocation to relocate weights, instead of 0,1,2,3,..
I failed to catch the issue during review.
Currently when .llvm.call-graph-profile is created by llvm it explicitly encodes the symbol indices. This section is basically a black box for post processing tools. For example, if we run strip -s on the object files the symbol table changes, but indices in that section do not. In non-visible behavior indices point to wrong symbols. The visible behavior indices point outside of Symbol table: "invalid symbol index".
This patch changes the format by using R_*_NONE relocations to indicate the from/to symbols. The Frequency (Weight) will still be in the .llvm.call-graph-profile, but symbol information will be in relocation section. In LLD information from both sections is used to reconstruct call graph profile. Relocations themselves will never be applied.
With this approach post processing tools that handle relocations correctly work for this section also. Tools can add/remove symbols and as long as they handle relocation sections with this approach information stays correct.
Doing a quick experiment with clang-13.
The size went up from 107KB to 322KB, aggregate of all the input sections. Size of clang-13 binary is ~118MB. For users of -fprofile-use/-fprofile-sample-use the size of object files will go up slightly, it will not impact final binary size.

As a resolution to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25295 , GNU as
from binutils 2.35 supports the optional third argument for the .symver directive.
'remove' for a non-default version is useful:
`.symver def_v1, def@v1, remove` => def_v1 is not retained in the symbol table.
Previously the user has to strip the original symbol or specify a `local:`
version node in a version script to localize the symbol.
`.symver def, def@@v1, remove` and `.symver def, def@@@v1, remove` are supported
as well, though they are identical to `.symver def, def@@@v1`.
local/hidden are not useful so this patch does not implement them.
This change introduces support for zero flag ELF section groups to LLVM.
LLVM already supports COMDAT sections, which in ELF are a special type
of ELF section groups. These are generally useful to enable linker GC
where you want a group of sections to always travel together, that is to
be either retained or discarded as a whole, but without the COMDAT
semantics. Other ELF assemblers already support zero flag ELF section
groups and this change helps us reach feature parity.

void a3() {}
int main() {
a1();

A linker that supports N_FUNC_COLD will order _a2 to the end of the text
