ca05b607b7 Refer to -help instead of --help since this is what tools themselves say.
Also, have tools output -help-hidden rather than refer to --help-hidden,
for consistency, and likewise adjust documentation.  This doesn't change
every mention of --help, only those which seemed clearly safe.

implement support for it) that the stack should be forcibly realigned in the
prologue (and the process reversed in the epilogue).

8a1ee8f852 Make it possible to create multiple JIT instances at the same time, by removing
the global TheJIT and TheJITResolver variables.  Lazy compilation is supported
by a global map from a stub address to the JITResolver that knows how to
compile it.

83ebc265b3 Reintroduce the InlineHint function attribute.
This time it's for real! I am going to hook this up in the frontends as well.

The inliner has some experimental heuristics for dealing with the inline hint.
When given a -respect-inlinehint option, functions marked with the inline
keyword are given a threshold just above the default for -O3.

We need some experiments to determine if that is the right thing to do.

fb10587e50 Kill ModuleProvider and ghost linkage by inverting the relationship between
Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.

Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods.  The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept.  It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.

Fixes http://llvm.org/PR5737 and http://llvm.org/PR5735.
