Add a unnamed_addr bit to global variables and functions. This will be used
to indicate that the address is not significant and therefore the constant
or function can be merged with others.
If an optimization pass can show that an address is not used, it can set this.
Examples of things that can have this set by the FE are globals created to
hold string literals and C++ constructors.
Adding unnamed_addr to a non-const global should have no effect unless
an optimization can transform that global into a constant.
Aliases are not allowed to have unnamed_addr since I couldn't figure
out any use for it.

is different from what the code now uses in a two ways: NamedMDNodes
were considered Values and included in the numbering, and the
function-local metadata counter wasn't reset between functions.
The later problem breaks lazy deserialization, so instead of trying
to emulate the old numbering, just drop the old metadata. The only
in-tree use case is debug info with LTO, where the QOI loss is
considered acceptable.

It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

Make MDNode::destroy private.
Fix the one thing that used MDNode::destroy, outside of MDNode itself.
One should never delete or destroy an MDNode explicitly. MDNodes
implicitly go away when there are no references to them (implementation
details aside).

bitcode file, so that two bitcode files where the same metadata kind
name happens to have been assigned a different ID can still be
linked together.
Eliminate the restriction that metadata kind IDs can't be 0.
Change MD_dbg from 1 to 0, because we can now, and because it's
less mysterious that way.

Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

which still require the bitcode bits to be on disk should call
flush themselves.

Probably the best way to know that all getOperand() calls have been handled
is to replace that API instead of updating.

the motivation for this patch are laid out in my mail to llvm-commits:
more efficient access to operands and callee, faster callgraph-construction,
smaller compiler binary

having the bitcode writer materialize mdnodes for all the
debug location tuples when writing out the bc file and
stores the information in a more compact form. For example,
the -O0 -g bc file for combine.c in 176.gcc shrinks from
739392 to 512096 bytes.
This concludes my planned short-term debug info work.

I have audited all getOperandNo calls now, fixing
hidden assumptions. CallSite related uglyness will
be eliminated successively.
Note this patch has a long and griveous history,
for all the back-and-forths have a look at
CallSite.h's log.

This time I did a self-hosted bootstrap on Linux x86-64,
with no problems. Let's see how darwin 64-bit self-hosting
goes. At the first sign of failure I'll back this out.
Maybe the valgrind bots give me a hint of what may be wrong
(it at all).
