[PowerPC][AIX] Adds support for writing the data section in object files

Adds support for generating the XCOFF data section in object files for global variables with initialization.

Merged aix-xcoff-common.ll into aix-xcoff-data.ll.

Changed variable name charr to chrarray in the test case to test if readobj works with 8-character names.
