LTO: introduce object file-based on-disk module format.
...
This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.

Rename loop unrolling and loop vectorizer metadata to have a common prefix.
...
[LLVM part]
These patches rename the loop unrolling and loop vectorizer metadata
such that they have a common 'llvm.loop.' prefix. Metadata name
changes:
llvm.vectorizer.* => llvm.loop.vectorizer.*
llvm.loopunroll.* => llvm.loop.unroll.*
This was a suggestion from an earlier review
(http://reviews.llvm.org/D4090 ) which added the loop unrolling
metadata.
Patch by Mark Heffernan.

Use pipefail when available.
...
This change makes test with RUN lines like
RUN: opt ... | FileCheck
fail if opt fails, even if it prints what FileCheck wants. Enabling this
found some interesting cases of broken tests that were not being noticed
because opt (or some other tool) was crashing late.
Pipefail is used when the shell supports it or when using the internal
python based tester.
