This patch adds new functions to the SectionRef and ObjectFile interfaces to determine whether or not a section is meant to be read-only. These functions will be used by the MCJIT RuntimeDyld to give hints to the memory manager during the object loading process in a future patch.

Patch by Ashok Thirumurthi.
