MS Compat: mark globals emitted in read-only sections const

They cannot be written to, so marking them const makes sense and may improve
optimisation.

As a side-effect, SectionInfos has to be moved from Sema to ASTContext.

It also fixes this problem, that occurs when compiling ATL:

  warning LNK4254: section 'ATL' (C0000040) merged into '.rdata' (40000040) with different attributes

The ATL headers are putting variables in a special section that's marked
read-only. However, Clang currently can't model that read-onlyness in the IR.
But, by making the variables const, the section does become read-only, and
the linker warning is avoided.
