units.
This was debated back and forth a bunch, but using references is now
clearly cleaner. Of all the code written using pointers thus far, in
only one place did it really make more sense to have a pointer. In most
cases, this just removes immediate dereferencing from the code. I think
it is much better to get errors on null IR units earlier, potentially
at compile time, than to delay it.
Most notably, the legacy pass manager uses references for its routines
and so as more and more code works with both, the use of pointers was
likely to become really annoying. I noticed this when I ported the
domtree analysis over and wrote the entire thing with references only to
have it fail to compile. =/ It seemed better to switch now than to
delay. We can, of course, revisit this is we learn that references are
really problematic in the API.

This moves the old pass creation functionality to its own header and
updates the callers of that routine. Then it adds a new PM supporting
bitcode writer to the header file, and wires that up in the opt tool.
A test is added that round-trips code into bitcode and back out using
the new pass manager.

- Widespread trailing space removal
- A dash of OCD spacing to block align enums
- joined a line that probably needed 80 cols a while back
