This is similar to the 'tail' marker, except that it guarantees that
tail call optimization will occur. It also comes with convervative IR
verification rules that ensure that tail call optimization is possible.

These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:
cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic
where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will
have taken place).

The grammar for LLVM IR is not well specified in any document but seems
to obey the following rules:
- Attributes which have parenthesized arguments are never preceded by
commas. This form of attribute is the only one which ever has
optional arguments. However, not all of these attributes support
optional arguments: 'thread_local' supports an optional argument but
'addrspace' does not. Interestingly, 'addrspace' is documented as
being a "qualifier". What constitutes a qualifier? I cannot find a
definition.
- Some attributes use a space between the keyword and the value.
Examples of this form are 'align' and 'section'. These are always
preceded by a comma.
- Otherwise, the attribute has no argument. These attributes do not
have a preceding comma.
Sometimes an attribute goes before the instruction, between the
instruction and it's type, or after it's type. 'atomicrmw' has
'volatile' between the instruction and the type while 'call' has 'tail'
preceding the instruction.
With all this in mind, it seems most consistent for 'inalloca' on an
'inalloca' instruction to occur before between the instruction and the
type. Unlike the current formulation, there would be no preceding
comma. The combination 'alloca inalloca' doesn't look particularly
appetizing, perhaps a better spelling of 'inalloca' is down the road.

Now that DataLayout is not a pass, store one in Module.
Since the C API expects to be able to get a char* to the datalayout description,
we have to keep a std::string somewhere. This patch keeps it in Module and also
uses it to represent modules without a DataLayout.
Once DataLayout is mandatory, we should probably move the string to DataLayout
itself since it won't be necessary anymore to represent the special case of a
module without a DataLayout.

MSVC always places the 'this' parameter for a method first. The
implicit 'sret' pointer for methods always comes second. We already
implement this for __thiscall by putting sret parameters on the stack,
but __cdecl methods require putting both parameters on the stack in
opposite order.
Using a special calling convention allows frontends to keep the sret
parameter first, which avoids breaking lots of assumptions in LLVM and
Clang.
Fixes PR15768 with the corresponding change in Clang.

This patch adds two new target-independent calling conventions for runtime
calls - PreserveMost and PreserveAll.
The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
- Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
- The same applies for the return value(s)
- PreserveMost preserves all GPRs - except R11
- PreserveAll preserves all GPRs and all XMMs/YMMs - except R11

Representing dllexport/dllimport as distinct linkage types prevents using
these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and
weak ODR, the old import/export linkage types are replaced with a new
separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}
@Var = dllexport global i32 1, align 4
Linkage for dllexported globals and functions is now equal to their linkage
without dllexport. Imported globals and functions must be either
declarations with external linkage, or definitions with
AvailableExternallyLinkage.

linkonce_odr_auto_hide was in incomplete attempt to implement a way
for the linker to hide symbols that are known to be available in every
TU and whose addresses are not relevant for a particular DSO.
It was redundant in that it all its uses are equivalent to
linkonce_odr+unnamed_addr. Unlike those, it has never been connected
to clang or llvm's optimizers, so it was effectively dead.
Given that nothing produces it, this patch just nukes it
(other than the llvm-c enum value).

Summary:
This patch adds explicit calling convention types for the Win64 and
System V/x86-64 ABIs. This allows code to override the default, and use
the Win64 convention on a target that wants to use SysV (and
vice-versa). This is needed to implement the `ms_abi` and `sysv_abi` GNU
attributes.

Versioned debug info support has been a burden to maintain & also compromised
current debug info verification by causing test cases testing old debug info to
remain rather than being updated to the latest. It also makes it hard to add or
change the metadata schema by requiring various backwards-compatibility in the
DI* hierarchy.
So it's being removed in preparation for new changes to the schema to tidy up
old/unnecessary fields and add new fields needed for new debug info (well, new
to LLVM at least).
The more surprising part of this is the changes to DI*::Verify - this became
necessary due to the changes to AsmWriter. AsmWriter was relying on the version
test to decide which bits of metadata were actually debug info when printing
the comment annotations. Without the version information the tag numbers were
too common & it would print debug info on random metadata that happened to
start with an integer that matched a tag number. Instead this change makes the
Verify functions more precise (just adding "number of operands" checks - not
type checking those operands yet) & relies on that to decide which metadata is
debug info metadata.

This emits the attribute groups that are used by the functions. (It currently
doesn't print out return type or parameter attributes within attribute groups.)
Note: The functions still retrieve their attributes from the "old" bitcode
format (using the deprecated 'Raw()' method). This means that string attributes
within an attribute group will not show up during a disassembly. This will be
addressed in a future commit.
