MC: Allocate initial fragment and define section symbol in changeSection

Reland #150574 with a MCStreamer::changeSection change:
In Mach-O, DWARF sections use Begin as a temporary label, requiring a label
definition, unlike section symbols in other file formats.
(Tested by dec978036ef1037753e7de5b78c978e71c49217b)

13a79bbfe583e1d8cc85d241b580907260065eb8 (2017) introduced fragment
creation in MCContext for createELFSectionImpl, which was inappropriate.
Fragments should only be created when using MCSteramer, not during
`MCContext::get*Section` calls.
`initMachOMCObjectFileInfo` defines multiple sections, some of which may
not be used by the code generator. This caused symbol names matching
these sections to be incorrectly marked as undefined (see
https://reviews.llvm.org/D55173).

The fragment code was later replicated in other file formats, such as
WebAssembly (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D46561), XCOFF, and GOFF.

This patch fixes the problem by moving initial fragment allocation from
MCContext::createSection to MCStreamer::changeSection.
While MCContext still creates a section symbol, the symbol is not
attached to the initial fragment. In addition,

* Move `emitLabel`/`setFragment` from `switchSection*` and
  overridden changeSection to `MCObjectStreamer::changeSection` for
  consistency.
* De-virtualize `switchSectionNoPrint`.
* test/CodeGen/XCore/section-name.ll now passes. XCore doesn't support
  MCObjectStreamer. I don't think the MCAsmStreamer output behavior
  change matters.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
