Expanding earlier #182 fix to another case of the same issue. Fixes #224?

There is now a reusable helper function addDataSectonAttribute that applies the fix to an ObjectDecl? when we realize it needs it. Test const-init is expanded with case of #224.

18These tests show non-crashing of generated code for constants with interesting initializers.
19The potential for these to crash is compiler dependent.
20
21There are two cases:
221. static constants in one compilation unit (tested here, in a few sub-cases)
232. extern constants across compilation units (tested by libcfa being loadable, specifically
24   the constant definitions in libcfa/src/limits.cfa, which almost every test exercises,
25   including "hello;" but notably, the "limits" test does not exercise it because that test
26   is compile-only)
27
28Crashes that we have obsrved (#182 and build failures September 2020) are because the libcfa
29initialization is writing to a global variable (which the declaring program wants typed as
30constant), while the compiler has placed this global in a read-only section.
31
32Compiler dependence includes:
33
34                          Case 1           Case 2
35GCC-6  on Ubuntu 16.04    Never crashed    Never crashed
36GCC-8  on both            Has crashed      Never crashed
37GCC-10 on Ubuntu 20.04    Has crashed      Has crashed
38
39For this test to fail, with most other tests passing, would be a situation only ever
40observed with GCC-8.
