As proposed on llvm-dev:

This is for a couple of reasons:
- Values of type PointerType are unlike the other SequentialTypes (arrays
and vectors) in that they do not hold values of the element type. By moving
PointerType we can unify certain aspects of how the other SequentialTypes
are handled.
- PointerType will have no place in the SequentialType hierarchy once
pointee types are removed, so this is a necessary step towards removing
pointee types.

Summary:
Split ReaderWriter.h which contains the APIs into both the BitReader and
BitWriter libraries into BitcodeReader.h and BitcodeWriter.h.
This is to address Chandler's concern about sharing the same API header
between multiple libraries (BitReader and BitWriter). That concern is
why we create a single bitcode library in our downstream build of clang,
which led to r286297 being reverted as it added a dependency that
created a cycle only when there is a single bitcode library (not two as
in upstream).

Summary:
This kill various depreacated API related to attribute :
- The deprecated C API attribute based on LLVMAttribute enum.
- The Raw attribute set format (planned to be removed in 4.0).

End iterators are usually sentinels, not actually Instruction* at all.
Stop casting to it just to get an iterator back.
There is likely no observable functionality change here right now
(although this is relying on UB, I doubt it was triggering anything),
but I'll be removing the cast soon.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

Summary: This needs to get in before anything is released concerning attribute. If the old name gets in the wild, then we are stuck with it forever. Putting it in its own diff should getting that part at least in fast.

Summary:
LLVMAttribute has outlived its utility and is becoming a problem for C API users that what to use all the LLVM attributes. In order to help moving away from LLVMAttribute in a smooth manner, this diff introduce LLVMGetAttrKindIDInContext, which can be used instead of the enum values.
