The use of pass0, pass1, pass2, and "pass" passed as an argument is
really confusing and already caused a severe bug in the 2.14.01
release cycle. Clean them up and be far more explicit about what
various passes mean.

Only two output formats (obj and ieee) actually need ofmt->segbase, so
move the common dummy definion into nullout.c.

MachO has this odd thing called "subsections via symbols", by which a
symbol can magically start what effectively is a new section. To
support this, add support for a calldown into the backend when a new
symbol is defined *at the current output location*, and allow it to
switch the current segment.

Add a generic facility for generating perfect string hashes, where all
that is needed is an enum and a string table. The existing mechanism
using a custom Perl script wrapped around a module continues to be
available for any use case where this particular approach isn't
sophisticated enough.
Much of this patch comes from renaming "enum directives" to "enum
directive" as a result of the string hash generator expecting a set of
uniform naming conventions.

The directives code is already trying to do a bit more unified error
handling, so give ourselves a bit richer interface. At this point,
the conversion was pretty automatic so we probably return DIRR_OK
instead of DIRR_ERROR in a fair number of places, but that's okay.

Make the source code easier to understand and keep track of by
organizing it into subdirectories depending on the function.

Hash all directives, even the ones that are backend-specific,
and instead pass the backend an already-parsed directive number.
Furthermore, unify null functions across various backends.
