The XMOS assembler only accepts section names that use letters, numbers, 
'_' and '.'. We could add support for quoted section names to be more 
compatible with gas, but that it would take time for a new release 
containing this change to become available. Conditionally quoting 
section names avoids breaking the assembly output for section names that 
we currently use on the XCore.
