Don't create multiple mergeable sections with -fdata-sections.

ELF has support for sections that can be split into fixed size or
null terminated entities.

Since these sections can be split by the linker, it is not necessary
to split them in codegen.

This reduces the combined .o size in a llvm+clang build from
202,394,570 to 173,819,098 bytes.

The time for linking clang with gold (on a VM, on a laptop) goes
from 2.250089985 to 1.383001792 seconds.

The flip side is the size of rodata in clang goes from 10,926,785
to 10,929,345 bytes.

The increase seems to be because of http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17902.
