This change is motivated by an upcoming change to the metadata representation
used for CFI. The indirect function call checker needs type information for
external function declarations in order to correctly generate jump table
entries for such declarations. We currently associate such type information
with declarations using a global metadata node, but I plan [1] to move all
such metadata to global object attachments.
In bitcode, metadata attachments for function declarations appear in the
global metadata block. This seems reasonable to me because I expect metadata
attachments on declarations to be uncommon. In the long term I'd also expect
this to be the case for CFI, because we'd want to use some specialized bitcode
format for this metadata that could be read as part of the ThinLTO thin-link
phase, which would mean that it would not appear in the global metadata block.
To solve the lazy loaded metadata issue I was seeing with D20147, I use the
same bitcode representation for metadata attachments for global variables as I
do for function declarations. Since there's a use case for metadata attachments
in the global metadata block, we might as well use that representation for
global variables as well, at least until we have a mechanism for lazy loading
global variables.
In the assembly format, the metadata attachments appear after the "declare"
keyword in order to avoid a parsing ambiguity.

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.

r267296 used std::piecewise_construct without using
std::forward_as_tuple, and r267298 hacked it out (using an emplace_back
followed by a couple of reset() calls) because of a problem on a bot.
I'm finally circling back to call forward_as_tuple as I should have to
begin with (thanks to David Blaikie for pointing out the missing piece).
Note that this code uses emplace_back() instead of
push_back(make_pair()) because the move constructor for TrackingMDRef is
expensive (cheaper than a copy, but still expensive).

Summary:
Now DISubroutineType has a 'cc' field which should be a DW_CC_ enum. If
it is present and non-zero, the backend will emit it as a
DW_AT_calling_convention attribute. On the CodeView side, we translate
it to the appropriate enum for the LF_PROCEDURE record.
I added a new LLVM vendor specific enum to the list of DWARF calling
conventions. DWARF does not appear to attempt to standardize these, so I
assume it's OK to do this until we coordinate with GCC on how to emit
vectorcall convention functions.

This patch adds an IR, assembly and bitcode representation for metadata
attachments for globals. Future patches will port existing features to use
these new attachments.

When we have "Image Info Version" module flag but don't have "Class Properties"
module flag, set "Class Properties" module flag to 0, so we can correctly emit
errors when one module has the flag set and another module does not.

The bitcode upgrade I added for DISubprogram in r266446 was based on the
assumption that the CU node for the subprogram was already materialized by the
time the DISubprogram is visited. This assumption may not hold true as future
versions of LLVM may decide to write out bitcode in a different order. This
patch corrects this by introducing a versioning bit next to the distinct flag to
unambiguously differentiate the new from the old record layouts.
Note for people stabilizing LLVM out-of-tree: This patch introduces a bitcode
incompatibility with llvm trunk revisions from r266446 — this commit. (But
D19987 will ensure that it degrades gracefully).

Summary:
With the removal of support for lazy parsing of combined index summary
records (e.g. r267344), we no longer need to include the summary record
bitcode offset in the VST entries for definitions. Change the combined
index format to be similar to the per-module index format in using value
ids to cross-reference from the summary record to the VST entry (rather
than the summary record bitcode offset to cross-reference in the other
direction).
The visible changes are:
1) Add the value id to the combined summary records
2) Remove the summary offset from the combined VST records, which has
the following effects:
- No longer need the VST_CODE_COMBINED_GVDEFENTRY record, as all
combined index VST entries now only contain the value id and
corresponding GUID.
- No longer have duplicate VST entries in the case where there are
multiple definitions of a symbol (e.g. weak/linkonce), as they all
have the same value id and GUID.
An implication of #2 above is that in order to hook up an alias to the
correct aliasee based on the value id of the aliasee recorded in the
combined index alias record, we need to scan the entries in the index
for that GUID to find the one from the same module (i.e. the case where
there are multiple entries for the aliasee). But the reader no longer
has to maintain a special map to hook up the alias/aliasee.

There's hardly any functionality change here. Instead of calling
materializeMetadata on the first call to materialize(GlobalValue*), wait
until the first one that's actually going to do something. Noticed by
inspection; I don't have a concrete case where this makes a difference.
Added an assertion in materializeMetadata to be sure this (or a future
change) doesn't delay materializeMetadata after function-level metadata.

Summary:
Remove the GlobalValueInfo and change the ModuleSummaryIndex to directly
reference summary objects. The info structure was there to support lazy
parsing of the combined index summary objects, which is no longer
needed and not supported.

Add tests for some missing cases to bitcode upgrade in r267296.
- DICompositeType with an 'elements:' field, which will cause it to be
involved in a cycle after the upgrade.
- A DIDerivedType that references a class in 'extraData:'.
I updated test/Bitcode/dityperefs-3.8.ll with the missing cases and
regenerated test/Bitcode/dityperefs-3.8.ll.bc.
