Add a function to get the segment name of a section.

On MachO, sections also have segment names. When a tool looking at a .o file
prints a segment name, this is what they mean. In reality, a .o has only one
anonymous, segment.

This patch adds a MachO only function to fetch that segment name. I named it
getSectionFinalSegmentName since the main use for the name seems to be inform
the linker with segment this section should go to.

The patch also changes MachOObjectFile::getSectionName to return just the
section name instead of computing SegmentName,SectionName.

The main difference from the previous patch is that it doesn't use
InMemoryStruct. It is extremely dangerous: if the endians match it returns
a pointer to the file buffer, if not, it returns a pointer to an internal buffer
that is overwritten in the next API call.

We should change all of this code to use
support::detail::packed_endian_specific_integral like ELF, but since these
functions only handle strings, they work with big and little endian machines
as is.

I have tested this by installing ubuntu 12.10 ppc on qemu, that is why it took
so long :-)
