[MC] Emit unused undefined symbol even if its binding is not set

For the following two cases, we currently suppress the symbols. This
patch emits them (compatible with GNU as).

* `test2_a = undef`: if `undef` is otherwise unused.
* `.hidden hidden`: if `hidden` is unused. This is the main point of the
  patch, because omitting the symbol would cause a linker semantic
  difference.

It causes a behavior change that is not compatible with GNU as:

.weakref foo1, bar1

When neither foo1 nor bar1 is used, we now emit bar1, which is arguably
more consistent.

Another change is that we will emit .TOC. for .TOC.@tocbase .  For this
directive, suppressing .TOC. can be seen as a size optimization, but we
choose to drop it for simplicity and consistency.

Benchmarking

In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
