Manman Ren 0d12d4ebc6 [llvm link] Destroy ConstantArrays in LLVMContext if they are not used. ...

ConstantArrays constructed during linking can cause quadratic memory
explosion. An example is the ConstantArrays constructed when linking in
GlobalVariables with appending linkage.

Releasing all unused constants can cause a 20% LTO compile-time
slowdown for a large application. So this commit releases unused ConstantArrays
only.

rdar://19040716. It reduces memory footprint from 20+G to 6+G.
