Auto merge of #117465 - paulmenage:small-data-limit, r=compiler-errors

Add -Z small-data-threshold

This flag allows specifying the threshold size above which LLVM should not consider placing small objects in a `.sdata` or `.sbss` section.

Support is indicated in the target options via the
small-data-threshold-support target option, which can indicate either an
LLVM argument or an LLVM module flag.  To avoid duplicate specifications
in a large number of targets, the default value for support is
DefaultForArch, which is translated to a concrete value according to the
target's architecture.

+
+-----------------------
+
+This flag controls the maximum static variable size that may be included in the
+"small data sections" (.sdata, .sbss) supported by some architectures (RISCV,
+MIPS, M68K, Hexagon).  Can be set to `0` to disable the use of small data
+sections.
+
+Target support is indicated by the `small_data_threshold_support` target
+option which can be:
+
+- `none` (`SmallDataThresholdSupport::None`) for no support
+- `default-for-arch` (`SmallDataThresholdSupport::DefaultForArch`) which
+  is automatically translated into an appropriate value for the target.
+- `llvm-module-flag=<flag_name>`
+  (`SmallDataThresholdSupport::LlvmModuleFlag`) for specifying the
+  threshold via an LLVM module flag
+- `llvm-arg=<arg_name>` (`SmallDataThresholdSupport::LlvmArg`) for
+  specifying the threshold via an LLVM argument.
