Fangrui Song 777391a216 MCFixup: Improve location accuracy and remove MCFixup::Loc
Remove the redundant MCFixup::Loc member and instead use MCExpr::Loc to
determine the location for fixups. Previously, many target MCCodeEmitter would
use the beginning of an instruction for fixup locations, which often
resulted in inaccurate column information.

```
// RISCVMCCodeEmitter::getImmOpValue
Fixups.push_back(MCFixup::create(0, Expr, FixupKind, MI.getLoc()));

// X86MCCodeEmitter::emitImmediate
Fixups.push_back(MCFixup::create(static_cast<uint32_t>(CB.size() - StartByte), Expr, FixupKind, Loc));
```

While MCExpr::Loc generally provides more meaningful location data,
tests should avoid over-relying on it. For instance, MCBinaryExpr's
location refers to its operator, and for operands with sigils (like
`$foo`), the location often omits the sigils.

I've also considered removing MCExpr::Loc (revert
https://reviews.llvm.org/D28861), but we'd lose too much information.
It's also difficult to carry location information to improve location
tracking in target MCCodeEmitter.

This change utilizes previous MCExpr::Loc improvement like
