[PATCH] D45164: [MC] Change AsmParser to leverage Assembler during evaluation

So, basically, gas directives allow the user to do a lot of reflection. In order to support that reflection, we need to lay out an object file, regardless of whether we're emitting textual assembly or an object.

I checked, and this doesn't appear to affect users of -fno-integrated-as, because the AsmPrinter will bypass the MCStreamer API when that flag is set.
