Use the IRBuilder helpers for gc.statepoint and gc.result, instead of
coding the construction by hand. Note that the gc.statepoint IRBuilder
handles only CallInst, not InvokeInst; retain that part of hand-coding.

Previously, this pass ran over every function in the Module if added to the pass order. With this change, it runs only over those with a GC attribute where the GC explicitly opts in. A GC can also choose which of entry safepoint polls, backedge safepoint polls, and call safepoints it wants. I hope to get these exposed as checks on the GCStrategy at some point, but for now, the checks are manual string comparisons.

These are internal options. I need to go through, evaluate which are worth keeping and which not. Many of them should probably be renamed as well. Until I have time to do that, we can at least stop poluting the standard opt -help output.

LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.
This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.
The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".

I realized that my early fix for this was overly complicated. Rather than scatter checks around in a bunch of places, just exit early when we visit the poll function itself.
Thinking about it a bit, the whole inlining mechanism used with gc.safepoint_poll could probably be cleaned up a bit. Originally, poll insertion was fused with gc relocation rewriting. It might be worth going back to see if we can simplify the chain of events now that these two are seperated. As one thought, maybe it makes sense to rewrite calls inside the helper function before inlining it to the many callers. This would require us to visit the poll function before any other functions though..

Summary:
It's important that our users immediately know what gc.safepoint_poll
is. Also fix the style of the declaration of CreateGCStatepoint, in
preparation for another change that will wrap it.

This is just adding really simple tests which should have been part of the original submission. When doing so, I discovered that I'd mistakenly removed required pieces when preparing the patch for upstream submission. I fixed two such bugs in this submission.

This pass is responsible for figuring out where to place call safepoints and safepoint polls. It doesn't actually make the relocations explicit; that's the job of the RewriteStatepointsForGC pass (http://reviews.llvm.org/D6975).
Note that this code is not yet finalized. Its moving in tree for incremental development, but further cleanup is needed and will happen over the next few days. It is not yet part of the standard pass order.
Planned changes in the near future:
- I plan on restructuring the statepoint rewrite to use the functions add to the IRBuilder a while back.
- In the current pass, the function "gc.safepoint_poll" is treated specially but is not an intrinsic. I plan to make identifying the poll function a property of the GCStrategy at some point in the near future.
- As follow on patches, I will be separating a collection of test cases we have out of tree and submitting them upstream.
- It's not explicit in the code, but these two patches are introducing a new state for a statepoint which looks a lot like a patchpoint. There's no a transient form which doesn't yet have the relocations explicitly represented, but does prevent reordering of memory operations. Once this is in, I need to update actually make this explicit by reserving the 'unused' argument of the statepoint as a flag, updating the docs, and making the code explicitly check for such a thing. This wasn't really planned, but once I split the two passes - which was done for other reasons - the intermediate state fell out. Just reminds us once again that we need to merge statepoints and patchpoints at some point in the not that distant future.
Future directions planned:
- Identifying more cases where a backedge safepoint isn't required to ensure timely execution of a safepoint poll.
- Tweaking the insertion process to generate easier to optimize IR. (For example, investigating making SplitBackedge) the default.
- Adding opt-in flags for a GCStrategy to use this pass. Once done, add this pass to the actual pass ordering.
