This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.
The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

subsequent changes are easier to review. About to fix some layering
issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to
match the usage in Memory.inc.

BitVector/SmallBitVector::reference::operator bool remain implicit since
they model more exactly a bool, rather than something else that can be
boolean tested.
The most common (non-buggy) case are where such objects are used as
return expressions in bool-returning functions or as boolean function
arguments. In those cases I've used (& added if necessary) a named
function to provide the equivalent (or sometimes negative, depending on
convenient wording) test.
One behavior change (YAMLParser) was made, though no test case is
included as I'm not sure how to reach that code path. Essentially any
comparison of llvm::yaml::document_iterators would be invalid if neither
iterator was at the end.
This helped uncover a couple of bugs in Clang - test cases provided for
those in a separate commit along with similar changes to `operator bool`
instances in Clang.

when checking isNull(), we'd pick off the sentinel bit for the outer
PointerUnion, but would not recursively convert the inner pointerunion to bool,
so if *its* sentinel bit is set, isNull() would incorrectly return false.
No testcase, because someone hit this when they were trying to refactor code
to use PointerUnion3, but they since found a better solution.

you to do things like:
/// PointerUnion<int*, float*> P;
/// P = (int*)0;
/// printf("%d %d", P.is<int*>(), P.is<float*>()); // prints "1 0"
/// X = P.get<int*>(); // ok.
/// Y = P.get<float*>(); // runtime assertion failure.
/// Z = P.get<double*>(); // does not compile.
/// P = (float*)0;
/// Y = P.get<float*>(); // ok.
/// X = P.get<int*>(); // runtime assertion failure.
