1ef70ff39b IR: Make metadata typeless in assembly
Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly.  These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.

  - Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
    intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.

  - Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
    when referencing it from call intrinsics.

So, assembly like this:

    define @foo(i32 %v) {
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
      ret void, !bar !2
    }
    !0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
    !1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
    !2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
    !3 = metadata !{}

turns into this:

    define @foo(i32 %v) {
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
      call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
      ret void, !bar !2
    }
    !0 = !{!2}
    !1 = !{i32* @global}
    !2 = !{!3}
    !3 = !{}

I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines).  I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.

This is part of PR21532.

e4d0a5ec18 [ValueTracking] Extend range metadata to call/invoke
Summary:
With this patch, range metadata can be added to call/invoke including
IntrinsicInst. Previously, it could only be added to load.

Rename computeKnownBitsLoad to computeKnownBitsFromRangeMetadata because
range metadata is not only used by load.

Update the language reference to reflect this change.

Test Plan:
Add several tests in range-2.ll to confirm the verifier is happy with
having range metadata on call/invoke.

Add two tests in AddOverFlow.ll to confirm annotating range metadata to
call/invoke can benefit InstCombine.

c49b29ef5d Require intervals in the range metadata to be in a canonical form: They must
be non contiguous, non overlapping and sorted by the lower end.

While this is technically a backward incompatibility, every frontent currently
produces range metadata with a single interval and we don't have any pass
that merges intervals yet, so no existing bitcode files should be rejected by
this.
