75338097c7 Remove llvm-ld and llvm-stub (which is only used by llvm-ld).
llvm-ld is no longer useful and causes confusion and so it is being removed.

* Does not work very well on Windows because it must call a gcc like driver to
  assemble and link.
* Has lots of hard coded paths which are wrong on many systems.
* Does not understand most of ld's options.
* Can be partially replaced by llvm-link | opt | {llc | as, llc -filetype=obj} |
  ld, or fully replaced by Clang.

I know of no production use of llvm-ld, and hacking use should be
replaced by Clang's driver.

8883c43ddc Make it possible to indicate relaxed floating point requirements at the IR level
through the use of 'fpmath' metadata.  Currently this only provides a 'fpaccuracy'
value, which may be a number in ULPs or the keyword 'fast', however the intent is
that this will be extended with additional information about NaN's, infinities
etc later.  No optimizations have been hooked up to this so far.
