Group calls into constant and non-constant arguments up front, and use uint64_t
instead of ConstantInt to represent constant arguments. The goal is to allow
the information from the summary to fit naturally into this data structure in
a future change (specifically, it will be added to CallSiteInfo).
This has two side effects:
- We disallow VCP for constant integer arguments of width >64 bits.
- We remove the restriction that the bitwidth of a vcall's argument and return
types must match those of the vfunc definitions.
I don't expect either of these to matter in practice. The first case is
uncommon, and the second one will lead to UB (so we can do anything we like).

Summary:
Keep track of all methods for which we have devirtualized at least
one call and then print them sorted alphabetically. That allows to
avoid duplicates and also makes the order deterministic.
Add optimization names into the remarks, so that it's easier to
understand how has each method been devirtualized.
Fix a bug when wrong methods could have been reported for
tryVirtualConstProp.

Summary:
Chrome on Linux uses WholeProgramDevirt for speed ups, and it's
important to detect regressions on both sides: the toolchain,
if fewer methods get devirtualized after an update, and Chrome,
if an innocently looking change caused many hot methods become
virtual again.
The need to track devirtualized methods is not Chrome-specific,
but it's probably the only user of the pass at this time.

Summary:
It's useful to have some visibility about which call sites are devirtualized,
especially for debug purposes. Another use case is a regression test on the
application side (like, Chromium).

This intrinsic safely loads a function pointer from a virtual table pointer
using type metadata. This intrinsic is used to implement control flow integrity
in conjunction with virtual call optimization. The virtual call optimization
pass will optimize away llvm.type.checked.load intrinsics associated with
devirtualized calls, thereby removing the type check in cases where it is
not needed to enforce the control flow integrity constraint.
This patch also introduces the capability to copy type metadata between
global variables, and teaches the virtual call optimization pass to do so.

The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

pass manager passes' `run` methods.
This removes a bunch of SFINAE goop from the pass manager and just
requires pass authors to accept `AnalysisManager<IRUnitT> &` as a dead
argument. This is a small price to pay for the simplicity of the system
as a whole, despite the noise that changing it causes at this stage.
This will also helpfull allow us to make the signature of the run
methods much more flexible for different kinds af passes to support
things like intelligently updating the pass's progression over IR units.
While this touches many, many, files, the changes are really boring.
Mostly made with the help of my trusty perl one liners.
Thanks to Sean and Hal for bouncing ideas for this with me in IRC.

The plan is to eventually make this logic simpler, however I expect it to
be a little tricky for the foreseeable future (at least until we're rid of
pointee types), so move it here so that it can be reused to build a summary
index for devirtualization.

This patch implements a optimization bisect feature, which will allow optimizations to be selectively disabled at compile time in order to track down test failures that are caused by incorrect optimizations.
The bisection is enabled using a new command line option (-opt-bisect-limit). Individual passes that may be skipped call the OptBisect object (via an LLVMContext) to see if they should be skipped based on the bisect limit. A finer level of control (disabling individual transformations) can be managed through an addition OptBisect method, but this is not yet used.
The skip checking in this implementation is based on (and replaces) the skipOptnoneFunction check. Where that check was being called, a new call has been inserted in its place which checks the bisect limit and the optnone attribute. A new function call has been added for module and SCC passes that behaves in a similar way.

This pass implements whole program optimization of virtual calls in cases
where we know (via bitset information) that the list of callees is fixed. This
includes the following:
- Single implementation devirtualization: if a virtual call has a single
possible callee, replace all calls with a direct call to that callee.
- Virtual constant propagation: if the virtual function's return type is an
integer <=64 bits and all possible callees are readnone, for each class and
each list of constant arguments: evaluate the function, store the return
value alongside the virtual table, and rewrite each virtual call as a load
from the virtual table.
- Uniform return value optimization: if the conditions for virtual constant
propagation hold and each function returns the same constant value, replace
each virtual call with that constant.
- Unique return value optimization for i1 return values: if the conditions
for virtual constant propagation hold and a single vtable's function
returns 0, or a single vtable's function returns 1, replace each virtual
call with a comparison of the vptr against that vtable's address.
