ce2247755e Enabling the target-independent garbage collection infrastructure by hooking it
up to the various compiler pipelines.

This doesn't actually add support for any GC algorithms, which means it 
temporarily breaks a few tests. To be fixed shortly.

364caf0e19 Collector is the base class for garbage collection code generators.
This version enhances the previous patch to add root initialization
as discussed here:

http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20070910/053455.html

Collector gives its subclasses control over generic algorithms:

  unsigned NeededSafePoints; //< Bitmask of required safe points.
  bool CustomReadBarriers;   //< Default is to insert loads.
  bool CustomWriteBarriers;  //< Default is to insert stores.
  bool CustomRoots;          //< Default is to pass through to backend.
  bool InitRoots;            //< If set, roots are nulled during lowering.

It also has callbacks which collectors can hook:

  /// If any of the actions are set to Custom, this is expected to
  /// be overriden to create a transform to lower those actions to
  /// LLVM IR.
  virtual Pass *createCustomLoweringPass() const;

  /// beginAssembly/finishAssembly - Emit module metadata as
  /// assembly code.
  virtual void beginAssembly(Module &M, std::ostream &OS,
                             AsmPrinter &AP,
                             const TargetAsmInfo &TAI) const;
  virtual void finishAssembly(Module &M,
                              CollectorModuleMetadata &CMM,
                              std::ostream &OS, AsmPrinter &AP,
                              const TargetAsmInfo &TAI) const;  

Various other independent algorithms could be implemented, but were
not necessary for the initial two collectors. Some examples are
listed here:
