Move the section name from GlobalObject to the LLVMContext
Summary: Convention wisdom says that bytes in Function are precious, and the vast, vast majority of globals do not live in special sections. Even when they do, they tend to live in the same section. Store the section name on the LLVMContext in a StringSet, and maintain a map from GlobalObject* to section name like we do for metadata, prefix data, etc. The fact that we've survived this long wasting at least three pointers of space in Function suggests that Function bytes are perhaps not as precious as we once thought. Given that most functions have metadata attachments when debug info is enabled, we might consider adding a pointer here to make that access more efficient.
