1. There is now a "PAListPtr" class, which is a smart pointer around
the underlying uniqued parameter attribute list object, and manages
its refcount. It is now impossible to mess up the refcount.
2. PAListPtr is now the main interface to the underlying object, and
the underlying object is now completely opaque.
3. Implementation details like SmallVector and FoldingSet are now no
longer part of the interface.
4. You can create a PAListPtr with an arbitrary sequence of
ParamAttrsWithIndex's, no need to make a SmallVector of a specific
size (you can just use an array or scalar or vector if you wish).
5. All the client code that had to check for a null pointer before
dereferencing the pointer is simplified to just access the
PAListPtr directly.
6. The interfaces for adding attrs to a list and removing them is a
bit simpler.
Phase #2 will rename some stuff (e.g. PAListPtr) and do other less
invasive changes.

This also changes the syntax for llvm.bswap, llvm.part.set, llvm.part.select, and llvm.ct* intrinsics. They are automatically upgraded by both the LLVM ASM reader and the bitcode reader. The test cases have been updated, with special tests added to ensure the automatic upgrading is supported.

anything about disk I/O itself. This greatly simplifies its interface -
eliminating the need for the ReaderWrappers.cpp file.
This adds a new option to llvm-dis (-bitcode) which instructs it to read
the input file as bitcode. Until/unless the bytecode reader is taught to
read from MemoryBuffer, there is no way to handle stdin reading without it.
I don't plan to switch the bytecode reader over, I'd rather delete it :),
so the option will stay around temporarily.
