Update note type value.

In v2 asm, we had the following:

.option.machine_version_major
.option.machine_version_minor
.option.machine_version_stepping

What are the equivalents for v3 asm? The updates you made do not seem to describe those... Unless I missed it.

.option.machine_version_stepping

This was replaced with .amdgcn.gfx_generation_number which is documented under "Predefined Symbols". I believe we did not want to expose minor/stepping in the assembler, and we wanted to give a more meaningful name to the major version number.

Should the v2 version of the metadata be moved to a separate section rather than be deleted since it is still generated when the v2 code object format is requested?

Preserve docs for code object v2 metadata
