Adding VERSION_MIN load command to MachO file on Darwin

Thanks Rafael and Kevin

I will use llvm-objdump for now and the output is much readable for my tests. Whether adding the feature to dump macho load command to readobj is out of the scope for this problem and it will probably trigger more discussion. Here is the updated test:

// RUN: llvm-mc -triple x86_64-apple-macosx10.10.0 %s -filetype=obj -o - | llvm-objdump -macho -private-headers - | FileCheck %s
// RUN: llvm-mc -triple x86_64-apple-ios8.0.0 %s -filetype=obj -o - | llvm-objdump -macho -private-headers - | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CHECK-IOS
// RUN: llvm-mc -triple x86_64-apple-darwin %s -filetype=obj -o - | llvm-objdump -macho -private-headers - | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CHECK-DARWIN

// Test version-min load command should be inferred from triple and should always be generated on Darwin
// CHECK: Load command 1
// CHECK:       cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX
// CHECK:   cmdsize 16
// CHECK:   version 10.10

// CHECK-IOS: Load command 1
// CHECK-IOS:       cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS
// CHECK-IOS:   cmdsize 16
// CHECK-IOS:   version 8.0

// CHECK-DARWIN-NOT: LC_VERSION_MIN

Thanks

There exists tests for assembly with directive already for iOS and OS X. This patch will not change their behavior. Update the patch to add iOS test and bare darwin macho tests.

It is desired/required (depending on how strong you wish) to have this load command on darwin so the linker can prevent or warn you when linking in object files that are not compatible (for example, linking object built for 10.10 when you want to be 10.5 compatible or linking iPhone simulator objects into OS X binary).

When there is a version_min directive in the assembly input, it will overwrite the default. By doing so, it will not affect the assembly source that already have version_min directive, but force a version_min load command on the others.
