[clang][AIX] Fix Overly Strict LTO Option Checking against `data-sections` when `mxcoff-roptr` is in Effect

[qiongsiwu1]

Summary

The LTO -mxcoff-roptr check against data sections is overly strict and it ignores the fact that data sections is on by default on AIX, causing valid LTO compilation to fail when -fdata-sections is not explicitly specified.

This patch revises the check so that an error is reported only if data sections is explicitly turned off for LTO.

Gentle ping for review. Thanks so much!

Consider the hasFlagNoClaim variant. OPT_fdata_sections is mainly claimed elsewhere.

The LTO mxcoff-roptr check against data

-mxcoff-roptr. Consider not dropping the leading -.

Address code review. Thanks @MaskRay for the feedback!

Ping for review. Thank you!

Revising the logic to pass -data-sections= to libLTO. We now pass -data-sections=1 to libLTO by default unless it is explicitly turned off.

Old behaviour:

1. Pass -data-sections=1 if the target requires uses of separate sections, or the user explicitly sets -fdata-sections.
2. Pass -data-sections=0 if the user explicitly specifies -fno-data-sections.
3. Pass nothing otherwise.

New behaviour:

1. Pass -data-section=1 if nothing is specified, or if the target requires uses of separate sections, or the user explicitly sets -fdata-sections. (Combining cases 1 and 3 above.)
2. Pass -data-sections=0 if the user explicitly specifies -fno-data-sections.

I think the new behaviour is safe because libLTO defaults to use data sections when nothing is specified https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/829ed96b779c10cb023d7e3dbcfad22413979ec4/llvm/lib/LTO/LTOCodeGenerator.cpp#L426.

@hubert.reinterpretcast @MaskRay could you let me know what you think? Thanks so much!

[qiongsiwu1]

Revert to the DataSections logic. It is better not to change that in this patch.

[hubert.reinterpretcast]

LGTM with minor comment.

Coding standards suggest that braces be used consistently for each part of an if/else chain.

Fixing inconsistent braces. Thanks for the feedback @hubert.reinterpretcast !
