[PM] Add proper documentation for the ModulePassManager and
FunctionPassManager. These never got documented, likely due to the clutter of this header file. This fixes another problem people noticed when they started trying to use the new pass manager. I've also used this to document the aspirational constraints I would like to hold passes to. I don't really have a better place to document such things at this point, but eventually will probably create a proper .rst file and page for the LLVM pass infrastructure that carries such high-level concerns. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@225097 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
