MC: Allow .set to reassign non-MCConstantExpr expressions

GNU Assembler supports symbol reassignment via .set, .equ, or =.
However, LLVM's integrated assembler only allows reassignment for
MCConstantExpr cases, as it struggles with scenarios like:

```
.data
.set x, 0
.long x         // reference the first instance
x = .-.data
.long x         // reference the second instance
.set x,.-.data
.long x         // reference the third instance
```

Between two assignments binds, we cannot ensure that a reference binds
to the earlier assignment. We use MCSymbol::IsUsed and other conditions
to reject potentially unsafe reassignments, but certain MCConstantExpr
uses could be unsafe as well.

This patch enables reassignment by cloning the symbol upon reassignment
and updating the symbol table. Existing references to the original
symbol remain unchanged, and the original symbol is excluded from the
emitted symbol table.

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
