Note: This change ended up being slightly more controversial than expected. Chandler has tentatively okayed this for the moment, but I may be revisiting this in the near future after we settle some high level questions.
Rather than have the GCStrategy object owned by the GCModuleInfo - which is an immutable analysis pass used mainly by gc.root - have it be owned by the LLVMContext. This simplifies the ownership logic (i.e. can you have two instances of the same strategy at once?), but more importantly, allows us to access the GCStrategy in the middle end optimizer. To this end, I add an accessor through Function which becomes the canonical way to get at a GCStrategy instance.
In the near future, this will allows me to move some of the checks from http://reviews.llvm.org/D6808 into the Verifier itself, and to introduce optimization legality predicates for some of the recent additions to InstCombine. (These will follow as separate changes.)

Searching all of the existing gc.root implementations I'm aware of (all three of them), there was exactly one use of this mechanism, and that was to implement a performance improvement that should have been applied to the default lowering.
Having this function is requiring a dependency on a CodeGen class (MachineFunction), in a class which is otherwise completely independent of CodeGen. I could solve this differently, but given that I see absolutely no value in preserving this mechanism, I going to just get rid of it.
Note: Tis is the first time I'm intentionally breaking previously supported gc.root functionality. Given 3.6 has branched, I believe this is a good time to do this.

utils/sort_includes.py.
I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This
even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've
added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the
include order.
