units.
This was debated back and forth a bunch, but using references is now
clearly cleaner. Of all the code written using pointers thus far, in
only one place did it really make more sense to have a pointer. In most
cases, this just removes immediate dereferencing from the code. I think
it is much better to get errors on null IR units earlier, potentially
at compile time, than to delay it.
Most notably, the legacy pass manager uses references for its routines
and so as more and more code works with both, the use of pointers was
likely to become really annoying. I noticed this when I ported the
domtree analysis over and wrote the entire thing with references only to
have it fail to compile. =/ It seemed better to switch now than to
delay. We can, of course, revisit this is we learn that references are
really problematic in the API.

This implements the legacy passes in terms of the new ones. It adds
basic testing using explicit runs of the passes. Next up will be wiring
the basic output mechanism of opt up when the new pass manager is
engaged unless bitcode writing is requested.

API is exposed.
This removes the support for deleting the ostream, switches the member
and constructor order arround to be consistent with the creation
routines, and switches to using references.

Nothing was using the ability of the pass to delete the raw_ostream it
printed to, and nothing was trying to pass it a pointer to the
raw_ostream. Also, the function variant had a different order of
arguments from all of the others which was just really confusing. Now
the interface accepts a reference, doesn't offer to delete it, and uses
a consistent order. The implementation of the printing passes haven't
been updated with this simplification, this is just the API switch.

name to match the source file which I got earlier. Update the include
sites. Also modernize the comments in the header to use the more
recommended doxygen style.
