This works around an AIX assembler and linker bug. If the
-fno-integrated-as and -frecord-command-line options are used but
there's no actual code in the source file, the assembler creates an
object file with only an .info section. The AIX linker rejects such an
object file.
When generating XCOFF, the compiler generates a csect with an internal
name. Each function results in a label within the csect. This patch
replaces the internal name ".text" with an empty string "". This avoids
adding special code to handle a function text() in the source file, and
works better with some XCOFF tools that are confused when the csect and
the first function have the same address.

variable with its multiple aliases.
This patch handles the case where a variable has
multiple aliases.
AIX's assembly directive .set is not usable for the
aliasing purpose, and using different labels allows
AIX to emulate symbol aliases. If a value is emitted
between any two labels, meaning they are not aligned,
XCOFF will automatically calculate the offset for them.
This patch implements:
1) Emits the label of the alias just before emitting
the value of the sub-element that the alias referred to.
2) A set of aliases that refers to the same offset
should be aligned.
3) We didn't emit aliasing labels for common and
zero-initialized local symbols in
PPCAIXAsmPrinter::emitGlobalVariableHelper, but
emitted linkage for them in
AsmPrinter::emitGlobalAlias, which caused a FAILURE.
This patch fixes the bug by blocking emitting linkage
for the alias without a label.

Summary:
This patch does the following:
1. Make InitTargetOptionsFromCodeGenFlags() accepts Triple as a
parameter, because some options' default value is triple dependant.
2. DataSections is turned on by default on AIX for llc.
3. Test cases change accordingly because of the default behaviour change.
4. Clang Driver passes in -fdata-sections by default on AIX.

Summary:
AIX assembly's .set directive is not usable for aliasing purpose.
We need to use extra-label-at-defintion strategy to generate symbol
aliasing on AIX.

Summary:
`AsmPrinter::emitGlobalIndirectSymbol` is dependent on
`MCStreamer::emitAssignment` to produce `.set` directives for alias
symbols; however, the `.set` pseudo-op on AIX is documented as not
usable with external relocatable terms or expressions, which limits its
applicability in generating alias symbols.
Disable generating aliases on AIX until a different implementation
strategy is available.
