Introduce MCAsmInfo::UsesSetToEquateSymbol to control the preferred
syntax for symbol equating. We now favor the more readable and common
`symbol = expression` syntax over `.set`. This aligns with pre- https://reviews.llvm.org/D44256 behavior.

On Apple platforms, this resolves a clang -S vs -c behavior difference (resolves #104623).

For targets whose = support is unconfirmed, UsesSetToEquateSymbol is set to false.
This also minimizes test updates.

These don't actually test anything related to inrange, so drop the
attribute.

This is a follow-up to b71edfaa4ec3c998aadb35255ce2f60bba2940b0
since I forgot the lit.local.cfg files in that one.

Reformatting is done with `black`.

If you end up having problems merging this commit because you
have made changes to a python file, the best way to handle that
is to run git checkout --ours <yourfile> and then reformat it
with black.

If you run into any problems, post to discourse about it and
we will try to help.

For mingw target, if a symbol is not marked DSO local, a `.refptr` is
generated for it. This makes CFG check calls use an extra pointer
dereference, which adds extra overhead compared to the MSVC version,
so mark the CFG guard check funciton pointer DSO local to stop it.
This should have no effect on MSVC target.

Also adapt the existing cfguard tests to run for mingw targets, so that
this change is checked.

This is a preliminary commit for https://reviews.llvm.org/D99080

This patch adds support for creating Guard Address-Taken IAT Entry Tables (.giats$y sections) in object files, matching the behavior of MSVC. These contain lists of address-taken imported functions, which are used by the linker to create the final GIATS table.
Additionally, if any DLLs are delay-loaded, the linker must look through the .giats tables and add the respective load thunks of address-taken imports to the GFIDS table, as these are also valid call targets.

This broke both Firefox and Chromium (PR47905) due to what seems like dllimport
function not being handled correctly.
