"private" symbols which the assember shouldn't strip, but which the linker may
remove after evaluation. This is mostly useful for Objective-C metadata.
This is plumbing, so we don't have a use of it yet. More to come, etc.

Patches for Clang and LLVM-GCC to follow.

C bindings. Change all the backend "Initialize" functions to have C linkage.
Change the "llvm/Config/Targets.def" header to use C-style comments to avoid
compile warnings.

Add lto_codegen_set_assembler_path() API which allows the linker to specify the
path to the assembler tool to run. When assembler is used (instead of compiler)
different command line options are used.
Add LTO_API_VERSION #define so clients (linkers) can conditionalize use of new APIs.

linkage: this linkage type only applies to declarations,
but ODR is only relevant to globals with definitions.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

This sets the stage
- to implement function notes as function attributes and
- to distinguish between function attributes and return value attributes.
This requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

In particular, Collector was confusing to implementors. Several
thought that this compile-time class was the place to implement
their runtime GC heap. Of course, it doesn't even exist at runtime.
Specifically, the renames are:
Collector -> GCStrategy
CollectorMetadata -> GCFunctionInfo
CollectorModuleMetadata -> GCModuleInfo
CollectorRegistry -> GCRegistry
Function::getCollector -> getGC (setGC, hasGC, clearGC)
Several accessors and nested types have also been renamed to be
consistent. These changes should be obvious.
