This patch replaces most of the Orc indirection utils API with a new class:
JITCompileCallbackManager, which creates and manages JIT callbacks.
Exposing this functionality directly allows the user to create callbacks that
are associated with user supplied compilation actions. For example, you can
create a callback to lazyily IR-gen something from an AST. (A kaleidoscope
example demonstrating this will be committed shortly).
This patch also refactors the CompileOnDemand layer to use the
JITCompileCallbackManager API.

This patch refactors a key piece of the Orc APIs: It removes the
*::getSymbolAddress and *::lookupSymbolAddressIn methods, which returned target
addresses (uint64_ts), and replaces them with *::findSymbol and *::findSymbolIn
respectively, which return instances of the new JITSymbol type. Unlike the old
methods, calling findSymbol or findSymbolIn does not cause the symbol to be
immediately materialized when found. Instead, the symbol will be materialized
if/when the getAddress method is called on the returned JITSymbol. This allows
us to query for the existence of symbols without actually materializing them. In
the future I expect more information to be attached to the JITSymbol class, for
example whether the returned symbol is a weak or strong definition. This will
allow us to properly handle weak symbols and multiple definitions.

This patch adds a new set of JIT APIs to LLVM. The aim of these new APIs is to
cleanly support a wider range of JIT use cases in LLVM, and encourage the
development and contribution of re-usable infrastructure for LLVM JIT use-cases.
These APIs are intended to live alongside the MCJIT APIs, and should not affect
existing clients.
Included in this patch:
1) New headers in include/llvm/ExecutionEngine/Orc that provide a set of
components for building JIT infrastructure.
Implementation code for these headers lives in lib/ExecutionEngine/Orc.
2) A prototype re-implementation of MCJIT (OrcMCJITReplacement) built out of the
new components.
3) Minor changes to RTDyldMemoryManager needed to support the new components.
These changes should not impact existing clients.
4) A new flag for lli, -use-orcmcjit, which will cause lli to use the
OrcMCJITReplacement class as its underlying execution engine, rather than
MCJIT itself.
Tests to follow shortly.
Special thanks to Michael Ilseman, Pete Cooper, David Blaikie, Eric Christopher,
Justin Bogner, and Jim Grosbach for extensive feedback and discussion.
