Summary:
ThinLTO is relying on linkInModule to import selected function.
However a lot of "magic" was hidden in linkInModule and the IRMover,
who would rename and promote global variables on the fly.
This is moving to an approach where the steps are decoupled and the
client is reponsible to specify the list of globals to import.
As a consequence some test are changed because they were relying on
the previous behavior which was importing the definition of *every*
single global without control on the client side.
Now the burden is on the client to decide if a global has to be imported
or not.

(Resubmitting after fixing missing file issue)
With the changes in r263275, there are now more than just functions in
the summary. Completed the renaming of data structures (started in
r263275) to reflect the wider scope. In particular, changed the
FunctionIndex* data structures to ModuleIndex*, and renamed related
variables and comments. Also renamed the files to reflect the changes.
A companion clang patch will immediately succeed this patch to reflect
this renaming.

Summary:
As discussed on IRC, move the ThinLTOGlobalProcessing code out of
the linker, and into TransformUtils. The name of the class is changed
to FunctionImportGlobalProcessing.
