- Null values are implicitly encoded instead of explicitly, this makes
things more compact!
- More compactly represent ConstantPointerRefs
- Bytecode files are represented as:
Header|GlobalTypes|GlobalVars/Function Protos|Constants|Functions|SymTab
instead of
Header|GlobalTypes|Constants|GlobalVars/Function Protos|Functions|SymTab
which makes a lot of things simpler.
Writer changes:
- We now explictly encode versioning information in the bytecode files.
- This allows new code to read bytecode files produced by old code, but
new bytecode files can have enhancements such as the above. Although this
makes the reader a bit more complex (having to deal with old formats), the
writer only needs to be able to produce the most recent version.

* Correctly delete TypeHandles in AsmParser. In addition to not leaking
memory, this prevents a bug that could have occurred when a type got
resolved that the constexpr was using
* Check for errors in the AsmParser instead of hitting assertion failures
deep in the code
* Simplify the interface to the ConstantExpr class, removing unneccesary
parameters to the ::get* methods.
* Rename the 'getelementptr' version of ConstantExpr::get to
ConstantExpr::getGetElementPtr
llvm-svn: 3161
* Add real support for global variable addresses initializing constants
* Fix encoding/decoding of VarArgs calls
* Support the Invoke instruction
llvm-svn: 761
* Internal rep no longer has a constant pool
* Support emission of recursive types
* Don't output a constant pool for an external method
* The bytecode writer is no longer a module analyzer

Operands are maintained as a vector<Use> in the User class, and operator
iterators are provided as before. Getting an operand no longer requires
a virtual function call.
WARNING: getOperand(x) where x >= getNumOperands() will now assert instead
of returning null!
