[ARM] Set a non-conflicting comment character for assembly in MSVC mode
Currently, for ARMCOFFMCAsmInfoMicrosoft, no comment character is set, thus the idefault, '#', is used. The hash character doesn't work as comment character in ARM assembly, since '#' is used for immediate values. The comment character is set to ';', which is the comment character used by MS armasm.exe. (The microsoft armasm.exe uses a different directive syntax than what LLVM currently supports though, similar to ARM's armasm.) This allows inline assembly with immediate constants to be built (and brings the assembly output from clang -S closer to being possible to assemble). A test is added that verifies that ';' is correctly interpreted as comments in this mode, and verifies that assembling code that includes literal constants with a '#' works. Patch by Martin Storsjö. llvm-svn: 276859
