Not sure if there is a better way to do this. But I have to admit this approach 
along with D88493 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D88493> is a bit fragile. 
If plug-in writer forgets to set `HasExplicitDataSections` to true, then the 
final result that TargetMachine give for `getDataSections()` could be false on 
most platform even when they deliberately set `DataSections` to true.
We have other targets in LLVM that have -fdata-sections by default as well. And 
they do it differently as well, which makes this a bit more complicate to be 
consistent. 
For example, cloudABI would pass -fdata-sections through the Clang Driver by 
default. But that approach means if some user just invoke llc directly, they 
could get the wrong default on llc for that platform. 
Wasm would just overwrite the `DataSections` option to true in their 
TargetMachine. But that means you could not set it to false even if you want to.
I've thought about making the `DataSections` option in TargetOptions an enum 
instead of boolean value, where you could have `Default`, `On` and `Off` to 
represent what we actually want for the options. That's not a trivial change, 
as a lot of consumers for TargetOptions are relying it to be a boolean.
If you think it's a better way to solve this problem and I should explore, let 
me know.
