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 the assembly code for AIX/XCOFF, the .file pseudo-op
needs to be emitted first, before any csects are generated. Otherwise,
information such as the embedded command line will be associated with
part of the object file rather than the entire 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.

https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/247/builds/4125
Some debuggers like DBX on AIX assume the address in debug line
entries is always incremental. But clang generates two entries (entry
for file scope line and entry for prologue end) with same address if
prologue is empty
And if the prologue is empty, seems the first debug line entry for the
function is unnecessary(i.e. removing the first entry won't impact the
behavior in GDB on Linux), so I implement this for all debuggers.

Summary:
In function PPCAIXAsmPrinter::emitTracebackTable() ,the bit "IsBackChainStored" of traceback
table always set true, it will cause aix debug tools "dbx" emit an error info
"libdebug assertion "(framep->getGpr(STKP, &addr) == DB_SUCCESS && *nextStkpp == addr)"
when debug a leaf functions with no stack frame.
If a a leaf functions with no stack frame , the bit IsBackChainStored should be unset.

In a LTO build, the `end_sequence` in debug_line table for each compile unit (CU) points the end of text section which merged all CUs. The `end_sequence` needs to point to the end of each CU's range. This bug often causes invalid `debug_line` table in the final `.dSYM` binary for MachO after running `dsymutil` which tries to compensate an out-of-range address of `end_sequence`.
The fix is to sync the line table termination with the range operations that are already maintained in DwarfDebug. When CU or section changes, or nodebug functions appear or module is finished, the prior pending line table is terminated using the last range label. In the MC path where no range is tracked, the old logic is conservatively used to end the line table using the section end symbol.

Summary:
The bit order of the has_vec and longtbtable bits in the traceback table generated by the XL compiler flipped at some point after v12.1. This is different from the definition is the AIX header debug.h. The change in the XL compiler that caused the deviation from the OS header definition was unintentional. Since both orderings are extant and the XL compiler runtime also expects the ordering defined by the OS, we will correct the output from LLVM to match the defined ordering given by the OS (which is also consistent with the Assembler Language Reference). Mitigation for traceback tables encoded with the wrong ordering is required for either ordering.

.byte supports string, so if the whole byte list are printable,
we can actually print the string for readability and LIT tests maintainence.
.byte 'H,'e,'l,'l,'o,',,' ,'w,'o,'r,'l,'d

https://reviews.llvm.org/D99400 set clang DefaultDebuggerTuning for AIX
to dbx. However, we still need to update the target default so that llc
and other tools will get the same default debuggertuning, and avoid
passing extra options in LTO.
