Summary:
This intrinsic, together with deoptimization operand bundles, allow
frontends to express transfer of control and frame-local state from
one (typically more specialized, hence faster) version of a function
into another (typically more generic, hence slower) version.
In languages with a fully integrated managed runtime this intrinsic can
be used to implement "uncommon trap" like functionality. In unmanaged
languages like C and C++, this intrinsic can be used to represent the
slow paths of specialized functions.
Note: this change does not address how `@llvm.experimental_deoptimize`
is lowered. That will be done in a later change.

This patch fixes the problem which occurs when loop-vectorize tries to use @llvm.masked.load/store intrinsic for a non-default addrspace pointer. It fails with "Calling a function with a bad signature!" assertion in CallInst constructor because it tries to pass a non-default addrspace pointer to the pointer argument which has default addrspace.
The fix is to add pointer type as another overloaded type to @llvm.masked.load/store intrinsics.

Today, we do not allow cmpxchg operations with pointer arguments. We require the frontend to insert ptrtoint casts and do the cmpxchg in integers. While correct, this is problematic from a couple of perspectives:
1) It makes the IR harder to analyse (for instance, it make capture tracking overly conservative)
2) It pushes work onto the frontend authors for no real gain
This patch implements the simplest form of IR support. As we did with floating point loads and stores, we teach AtomicExpand to convert back to the old representation. This prevents us needing to change all backends in a single lock step change. Over time, we can migrate each backend to natively selecting the pointer type. In the meantime, we get the advantages of a cleaner IR representation without waiting for the backend changes.

Summary:
As previously written, only functions could be convergent. But calls
need to have a notion of convergence as well.
To see why this is important, consider an indirect call. We may or may
not want to disable optimizations around it and behave as though we're
calling a convergent function -- it depends on the semantics of the
language we're compiling. Thus the need for this attr on the call.

It seems the ARMv8 instruction set overview is no longer provided by ARM, so
I've removed it. Since most of the other documents were the same I unified the
two sections.

Summary:
Be more explicit about what 'convergent' means, and indicate that the
compiler may remove the attribute from a function if it can prove that
the function doesn't in fact execute any convergent ops.

Mehdi suggested in a review of r259766 that it's also useful to easily
set the type of LTO. Augment the cmake variable to support that.

Watching new contributors trying to build LLVM on Windows, one of the
very common failure modes was getting a version of Visual Studio
that did not have a C++ compiler for CMake to put up. Trying to create
a C++ project in Visual Studio will cause Visual Studio to go and
download the C++ tools.

This just incrementally improves what was already there; it's questionable whether this content belongs in the getting started guide at all.

The mentioned environment variable doesn't appear to have any use in the LLVM repository. If it is still relevant for clang, we can consider adding it to the clang getting started page.
Patch inspired by documentation work by Ben Nathanson at the LLVM Bloomberg sprint.
