Expose an InitToTextSection through MCStreamer.

The aim of this patch is to fix the following piece of code in the
platform-independent AsmParser:

void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
  if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
    TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
    Out.SwitchSection(Ctx.getMachOSection(
                        "__TEXT", "__text",
                        MCSectionMachO::S_ATTR_PURE_INSTRUCTIONS,
                        0, SectionKind::getText()));
  }
}

This was added for the "-n" option of llvm-mc.

The proposed fix adds another virtual method to MCStreamer, called
InitToTextSection. Conceptually, it's similar to the existing
InitSections which initializes all common sections and switches to
text. The new method is implemented by each platform streamer in a way
that it sees fit. So AsmParser can now do this:

void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
  if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
    TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
    Out.InitToTextSection();
  }
}

Which is much more reasonable.
