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.
