Summary:
This change adds two new parameters to the statepoint intrinsic, `i64 id`
and `i32 num_patch_bytes`. `id` gets propagated to the ID field
in the generated StackMap section. If the `num_patch_bytes` is
non-zero then the statepoint is lowered to `num_patch_bytes` bytes of
nops instead of a call (the spill and reload code remains unchanged).
A non-zero `num_patch_bytes` is useful in situations where a language
runtime requires complete control over how a call is lowered.
This change brings statepoints one step closer to patchpoints. With
some additional work (that is not part of this patch) it should be
possible to get rid of `TargetOpcode::STATEPOINT` altogether.
PlaceSafepoints generates `statepoint` wrappers with `id` set to
`0xABCDEF00` (the old default value for the ID reported in the stackmap)
and `num_patch_bytes` set to `0`. This can be made more sophisticated
later.

This changes the shape of the statepoint intrinsic from:
@llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 unused, ...call args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)
to:
@llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 flags, ...call args, i32 # transition args, ...transition args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)
This extension offers the backend the opportunity to insert (somewhat) arbitrary code to manage the transition from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware and back.
In order to support the injection of transition code, this extension wraps the STATEPOINT ISD node generated by the usual lowering lowering with two additional nodes: GC_TRANSITION_START and GC_TRANSITION_END. The transition arguments that were passed passed to the intrinsic (if any) are lowered and provided as operands to these nodes and may be used by the backend during code generation.
Eventually, the lowering of the GC_TRANSITION_{START,END} nodes should be informed by the GC strategy in use for the function containing the intrinsic call; for now, these nodes are instead replaced with no-ops.

For accessors in the `Statepoint` class, use symbolic constants for
offsets into the argument vector instead of literals. This makes the
code intent clearer and simpler to change.

The transform is somewhat involved, but the basic idea is simple: find
derived pointers that have been offset from the base pointer using gep
and replace the relocate of the derived pointer with a gep to the
relocated base pointer (with the same offset).

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.

This change implements four basic optimizations:
If a relocated value isn't used, it doesn't need to be relocated.
If the value being relocated is null, relocation doesn't change that. (Technically, this might be collector specific. I don't know of one which it doesn't work for though.)
If the value being relocated is undef, the relocation is meaningless.
If the value being relocated was known nonnull, the relocated pointer also isn't null. (Since it points to the same source language object.)
I outlined other planned work in comments.

This is the third patch in a small series. It contains the CodeGen support for lowering the gc.statepoint intrinsic sequences (223078) to the STATEPOINT pseudo machine instruction (223085). The change also includes the set of helper routines and classes for working with gc.statepoints, gc.relocates, and gc.results since the lowering code uses them.
With this change, gc.statepoints should be functionally complete. The documentation will follow in the fourth change, and there will likely be some cleanup changes, but interested parties can start experimenting now.
I'm not particularly happy with the amount of code or complexity involved with the lowering step, but at least it's fairly well isolated. The statepoint lowering code is split into it's own files and anyone not working on the statepoint support itself should be able to ignore it.
During the lowering process, we currently spill aggressively to stack. This is not entirely ideal (and we have plans to do better), but it's functional, relatively straight forward, and matches closely the implementations of the patchpoint intrinsics. Most of the complexity comes from trying to keep relocated copies of values in the same stack slots across statepoints. Doing so avoids the insertion of pointless load and store instructions to reshuffle the stack. The current implementation isn't as effective as I'd like, but it is functional and 'good enough' for many common use cases.
In the long term, I'd like to figure out how to integrate the statepoint lowering with the register allocator. In principal, we shouldn't need to eagerly spill at all. The register allocator should do any spilling required and the statepoint should simply record that fact. Depending on how challenging that turns out to be, we may invest in a smarter global stack slot assignment mechanism as a stop gap measure.
