Rafael Espindola 1f659329b6 Make ObjectFile and BitcodeReader always own the MemoryBuffer.
This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.

Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.
