The real fix for this whole mess is to require the operand of the
alias to be a *GlobalValue* (not a general constant, including
constant exprs) but allow the operand and the alias type to be
unrelated.

Constant, MDString and MDNode which can only be used by globals with a name
that starts with "llvm." or as arguments to a function with the same naming
restriction.

same as a normal i80 {low64, high16} rather
than its own {high64, low16}. A depressing number
of places know about this; I think I got them all.
Bitcode readers and writers convert back to the old
form to avoid breaking compatibility.

changes.
For InvokeInst now all arguments begin at op_begin().
The Callee, Cont and Fail are now faster to get by
access relative to op_end().
This patch introduces some temporary uglyness in CallSite.
Next I'll bring CallInst up to a similar scheme and then
the uglyness will magically vanish.
This patch also exposes all the reliance of the libraries
on InvokeInst's operand ordering. I am thinking of taking
care of that too.

linkage: this linkage type only applies to declarations,
but ODR is only relevant to globals with definitions.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

stripped .bc file, it didn't make any attempt to try to reuse anonymous types.
This causes an amazing type explosion due to types getting duplicated everywhere
they are referenced and other problems.
This also caused correctness issues, because opaque types are unique for each time
they are uttered in the file. This means that stripping a .bc file could produce
a .ll file that could not be assembled (e.g. 2009-02-28-StripOpaqueName.ll).
This patch fixes both of these issues.

even if the underlying operand is NULL. This may happen in debugging context
within opt with partial loop unrolling (see test/Transforms/LoopUnroll/partial.ll).
After this fix I can resubmit the (backed out) r63459:
* lib/VMCore/AsmWriter.cpp: use precise accessors.

ASCII IR; loading and storing these can change the
bits of NaNs on some hosts. Remove or add warnings
at a few other places using host floating point;
this is a bad thing to do in general.

and clean recursive descent parser.
This change has a couple of ramifications:
1. The parser code is about 400 lines shorter (in what we maintain, not
including what is autogenerated).
2. The code should be significantly faster than the old code because we
don't have to work around bison's poor handling of datatypes with
ctors/dtors. This also makes the code much more resistant to memory
leaks.
3. We now get caret diagnostics from the .ll parser, woo.
4. The actual diagnostics emited from the parser are completely different
so a bunch of testcases had to be updated.
5. I now disallow "%ty = type opaque %ty = type i32". There was no good
reason to support this, it was just an accident of the old
implementation. I have no reason to think that anyone is actually using
this.
6. The syntax for sticking a global variable has changed to make it
unambiguous. I don't think anyone is depending on this since only clang
supports this and it is not solid yet, so I'm not worried about anything
breaking.
7. This gets rid of the last use of bison, and along with it the .cvs files.
I'll prune this from the makefiles as a subsequent commit.
There are a few minor cleanups that can be done after this commit (suggestions
welcome!) but this passes dejagnu testing and is ready for its time in the
limelight.

- One functionality change, '\\' in a name is now printed as a hex
escape instead of "\\\\". This is consistent with other users of
PrintEscapedString.
