81b3ceba60 [Statepoints] Split the calling convention and statepoint flags operand to STATEPOINT into two separate operands.

5c7f7462e4 Extend the statepoint intrinsic to allow statepoints to be marked as transitions from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware.
This changes the shape of the statepoint intrinsic from:

  @llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 unused, ...call args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)

to:

  @llvm.experimental.gc.statepoint(anyptr target, i32 # call args, i32 flags, ...call args, i32 # transition args, ...transition args, i32 # deopt args, ...deopt args, ...gc args)

This extension offers the backend the opportunity to insert (somewhat) arbitrary code to manage the transition from GC-aware code to code that is not GC-aware and back.

In order to support the injection of transition code, this extension wraps the STATEPOINT ISD node generated by the usual lowering lowering with two additional nodes: GC_TRANSITION_START and GC_TRANSITION_END. The transition arguments that were passed passed to the intrinsic (if any) are lowered and provided as operands to these nodes and may be used by the backend during code generation.

Eventually, the lowering of the GC_TRANSITION_{START,END} nodes should be informed by the GC strategy in use for the function containing the intrinsic call; for now, these nodes are instead replaced with no-ops.

fda8a1817d [GC docs] Add example IR, assembly, and stackmaps to Statepoint documentation
When I originally committed the statepoint docs, I left placeholders for example IR fragments.  I'm finally getting around to filling those in.  

I also added IR fragments to illustrate the usage of the PlaceSafepoints pass while I was at it.

b0991ba014 Update the GC docs to explicitly mention both gcroot and gc.statepoint
Also, fix confusing bit of the gcroot documentation that bit me personally.

230796b278 Intrinsics: introduce llvm_any_ty aka ValueType Any
Specifically, gc.result benefits from this greatly. Instead of:

gc.result.int.*
gc.result.float.*
gc.result.ptr.*
...

We now have a gc.result.* that can specialize to literally any type.

70fb375383 [Statepoints 4/4] Statepoint infrastructure for garbage collection: Documentation
This is the fourth and final patch in the statepoint series.  It contains the documentation for the statepoint intrinsics and their usage.  

There's definitely still room to improve the documentation here, but I wanted to get this landed so it was available for others.  There will likely be a series of small cleanup changes over the next few weeks as we work to clarify and revise the documentation.  If you have comments or questions, please feel free to discuss them either in this commit thread, the original review thread, or on llvmdev.  Comments are more than welcome.
