Christopher Lamb fe63fb986d Implement address space attribute for LLVM pointer types. Address spaces are
regions of memory that have a target specific relationship, as described in the 
Embedded C Technical Report. 

This also implements the 2007-12-11-AddressSpaces test, 
which demonstrates how address space attributes can be used in LLVM IR.

In addition, this patch changes the bitcode signature for stores (in a backwards 
compatible manner), such that the pointer type, rather than the pointee type, is 
encoded. This permits type information in the pointer (e.g. address space) to be 
preserved for stores.

LangRef updates are forthcoming.

// Global variables are constant pointers that refer to hunks of space that are
// allocated by either the VM, or by the linker in a static compiler. A global
// variable may have an intial value, which is copied into the executables .data
// area. Global Constants are required to have initializers.
