This adds handling for ExceptionHandling::MSVC, used by the
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc triple. It assumes that filter functions have
already been outlined in either the frontend or the backend. Filter
functions are used in place of the landingpad catch clause type info
operands. In catch clause order, the first filter to return true will
catch the exception.
The C specific handler table expects the landing pad to be split into
one block per handler, but LLVM IR uses a single landing pad for all
possible unwind actions. This patch papers over the mismatch by
synthesizing single instruction BBs for every catch clause to fill in
the EH selector that the landing pad block expects.
Missing functionality:
- Accessing data in the parent frame from outlined filters
- Cleanups (from __finally) are unsupported, as they will require
outlining and parent frame access
- Filter clauses are unsupported, as there's no clear analogue in SEH
In other words, this is the minimal set of changes needed to write IR to
catch arbitrary exceptions and resume normal execution.

It is intended to be used for a family of personality functions that
have similar IR preparation requirements. Typically when interoperating
with MSVC personality functions, bits of functionality need to be
outlined from the main function into helper functions. There is also
usually more than one landing pad per invoke, which does not match the
LLVM IR landingpad representation.
None of this is implemented yet. This change just adds a new enum that
is active for *-windows-msvc and delegates to the EH removal preparation
pass. No functionality change for other targets.

Summary:
The current "WinEH" exception handling type is more about Itanium-style
LSDA tables layered on top of the Windows native unwind info format
instead of .eh_frame tables or EHABI unwind info. Use the name
"ItaniumWinEH" to better reflect the hybrid nature of the design.
Also rename isExceptionHandlingDWARF to usesItaniumLSDAForExceptions,
since the LSDA is part of the Itanium C++ ABI document, and not the
DWARF standard.

DwarfException served as a base class for exception handling directive emission.
However, this is also used by other exception models (e.g. Win64EH). Rename
this class to EHStreamer and split it out of DwarfException.h. NFC.
Use the opportunity to fix up some of the documentation comments to match
current LLVM style. Also rename some functions to conform better with current
LLVM coding style.
