[TargetLoweringObjectFileImpl] Make .llvmbc and .llvmcmd non-SHF_ALLOC

There are two ways .llvmbc can be produced:

* clang -c -fembed-bitcode=all (which also produces .llvmcmd)
* LTO backend: ld.lld -mllvm -lto-embed-bitcode or -plugin-opt=-lto-embed-bitcode

.llvmbc and .llvmcmd have the SHF_ALLOC flag, so they can be dropped by
--gc-sections.

This patch sets SectionKind::Metadata to drop the SHF_ALLOC flag. This
is conceptually correct: the two sections are not part of the process
image, so SHF_ALLOC is not appropriate.

`test/LTO/X86/embed-bitcode.ll`: changed `llvm-objcopy -O binary --only-section` to
`llvm-objcopy --dump-section`. `-O binary` does not dump non-SHF_ALLOC sections.
