MemoryObject - Abstract base class for contiguous addressable memory.

  Necessary for cases in which the memory is in another process, in a
  file, or on a remote machine.

The primary use for this is the llvm-mc disassemblers, so that they
can be targeted at arbitrary objects, not just in-process memory.
