This change moves the ownership and access of GCFunctionInfo (the object which describes the safepoints associated with a safepoint under GCRoot) to GCModuleInfo. Previously, this was owned by GCStrategy which was in turned owned by GCModuleInfo. This made GCStrategy module specific which is 'surprising' given it's name and other purposes.
There's a few more changes needed, but we're getting towards the point we can reuse GCStrategy for gc.statepoint as well.
p.s. The style of this code ends up being a mess. I was trying to move code around without otherwise changing much. Once I get the ownership structure rearranged, I will go through and fixup spacing, naming, comments etc.

In the current implementation, GCStrategy is a part of the ownership structure for the gc metadata which describes a Module. It also contains a reference to the module in question. As a result, GCStrategy instances are essentially Module specific.
I plan to transition away from this design. Instead, a GCStrategy will be owned by the LLVMContext. It will be a lightweight policy object which contains no information about the Modules or Functions involved, but can be easily reached given a Function.
The first step in this transition is to remove the direct Module reference from GCStrategy. This also requires removing the single user of this reference, the GCMetadataPrinter hierarchy. In theory, this will allow the lifetime of the printers to be scoped to the LLVMContext as well, but in practice, I'm not actually changing that. (Yet?)
An alternate design would have been to move the direct Module reference into the GCMetadataPrinter and change the keying of the owning maps to explicitly key off both GCStrategy and Module. I'm open to doing it that way instead, but didn't see much value in preserving the per Module association for GCMetadataPrinters.
The next change in this sequence will be to start unwinding the intertwined ownership between GCStrategy, GCModuleInfo, and GCFunctionInfo.

subsequent changes are easier to review. About to fix some layering
issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to
match the usage in Memory.inc.
