splitCodeGen does not need to take ownership of the module, as it
currently clones the original module for each split operation.
There is an ~4 year old fixme to change that, but until this is
addressed, the function can just take a reference to the module.
This makes the transition of LTOCodeGenerator to use LTOBackend a bit
easier, because under some circumstances, LTOCodeGenerator needs to
write the original module back after codegen.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
Currently llvm::SplitModule as the first step globalizes all local objects, which might not be desirable in some scenarios.
This change adds a new flag to llvm::SplitModule that uses SCC approach to search for a balanced partition without the need to externalize symbols.
Such partition might not be possible or fully balanced for a given number of partitions, and is a function of the module properties (global/local dependencies within the module).

The module splitter splits a module into linkable partitions. It will
be used to implement parallel LTO code generation.
This initial version of the splitter does not attempt to deal with the
somewhat subtle symbol visibility issues around module splitting. These
will be dealt with in a future change.
