2f448bf509 [X86] Migrate tests to use opaque pointers (NFC)
Test updates were performed using:
https://gist.github.com/nikic/98357b71fd67756b0f064c9517b62a34

These are only the test updates where the test passed without
further modification (which is almost all of them, as the backend
is largely pointer-type agnostic).

6ae7b403c3 Set alignment of .llvmbc and .llvmcmd to 1
Otherwise their alignment is dependent on the size of the section.  If the size
is large than 16, the alignment will be 16.

16 is a bad choice for both .llvmbc and .llvmcmd because the padding between two
contributions from input sections is of a variable size.

A bitstream is actually guaranteed to be 4-byte aligned, but consumers don't
need this property.

82d0749749 [TargetLoweringObjectFileImpl] Make .llvmbc and .llvmcmd non-SHF_ALLOC
There are two ways .llvmbc can be produced:

* clang -c -fembed-bitcode=all (which also produces .llvmcmd)
* LTO backend: ld.lld -mllvm -lto-embed-bitcode or -plugin-opt=-lto-embed-bitcode

.llvmbc and .llvmcmd have the SHF_ALLOC flag, so they can be dropped by
--gc-sections.

This patch sets SectionKind::Metadata to drop the SHF_ALLOC flag. This
is conceptually correct: the two sections are not part of the process
image, so SHF_ALLOC is not appropriate.

`test/LTO/X86/embed-bitcode.ll`: changed `llvm-objcopy -O binary --only-section` to
`llvm-objcopy --dump-section`. `-O binary` does not dump non-SHF_ALLOC sections.
