This commit is a 2nd attempt at committing the initial MIR serialization patch. The first commit (r237708) made the incremental buildbots unstable and was reverted in r237730. The original commit didn't add a terminating null character to the LLVM IR source which was passed to LLParser, and this sometimes caused the test 'llvmIR.mir' to fail with a parsing error because the LLVM IR source didn't have a null character immediately after the end and thus LLLexer encountered some garbage characters that ultimately caused the error. This commit also includes the other test fixes I committed in r237712 (llc path fix) and r237723 (remove target triple) which also got reverted in r237730. --Original Commit Message-- MIR Serialization: print and parse LLVM IR using MIR format. This commit is the initial commit for the MIR serialization project. It creates a new library under CodeGen called 'MIR'. This new library adds a new machine function pass that prints out the LLVM IR using the MIR format. This pass is then added as a last pass when a 'stop-after' option is used in llc. The new library adds the initial functionality for parsing of MIR files as well. This commit also extends the llc tool so that it can recognize and parse MIR input files. Reviewers: Duncan P. N.

Design Of lib/System
====================
The software in this directory is designed to completely shield LLVM from any
and all operating system specific functionality. It is not intended to be a
complete operating system wrapper (such as ACE), but only to provide the
functionality necessary to support LLVM.
The software located here, of necessity, has very specific and stringent design
rules. Violation of these rules means that cracks in the shield could form and
the primary goal of the library is defeated. By consistently using this library,
LLVM becomes more easily ported to new platforms since the only thing requiring
porting is this library.
Complete documentation for the library can be found in the file:
llvm/docs/SystemLibrary.html
or at this URL:
http://llvm.org/docs/SystemLibrary.html
While we recommend that you read the more detailed documentation, for the
impatient, here's a high level summary of the library's requirements.
1. No system header files are to be exposed through the interface.
2. Std C++ and Std C header files are okay to be exposed through the interface.
3. No exposed system-specific functions.
4. No exposed system-specific data.
5. Data in lib/System classes must use only simple C++ intrinsic types.
6. Errors are handled by returning "true" and setting an optional std::string
7. Library must not throw any exceptions, period.
8. Interface functions must not have throw() specifications.
9. No duplicate function impementations are permitted within an operating
system class.
To accomplish these requirements, the library has numerous design criteria that
must be satisfied. Here's a high level summary of the library's design criteria:
1. No unused functionality (only what LLVM needs)
2. High-Level Interfaces
3. Use Opaque Classes
4. Common Implementations
5. Multiple Implementations
6. Minimize Memory Allocation
7. No Virtual Methods
