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.

This patch is the initial patch for support of the AIX extended vector ABI. The extended ABI treats vector registers V20-V31 as non-volatile and we add them as callee saved registers in this patch.

To be consistent with other directives like '.comm', '.lcomm', we remove
the spaces after the comma for '.csect' on AIX.
