  [NFC][PPC] Refactor TOC representation to allow several entries for the same symbol

We currently represent TOC entries by an MCSymbol. This is not enough in some situations.
For example, when accessing an initialized TLS variable v on AIX using the general dynamic
model, we need to generate the two following entries for v:

.tc .v[TC],v at m
.tc v[TC],v

One is for the region handle (with the @m relocation), the other is for the variable offset.
This refactoring allows storing several entries for the same symbol with different VariantKind
in the TOC. If the VariantKind is not specified, we default to VK_None.

The AIX TLS implementation using this refactoring to generate the two entries will be posted
in a subsequent patch.
