This patch makes it possible to produce access tags in a uniform
manner regardless whether the resulting tag will be a scalar or a
struct-path one. getAccessTagInfo() now takes care of the actual
translation of access descriptors to tags and can handle all
kinds of accesses. Facilities that specific to scalar accesses
are eliminated.
Some more details:
* DecorateInstructionWithTBAA() is not responsible for conversion
of types to access tags anymore. Instead, it takes an access
descriptor (TBAAAccessInfo) and generates corresponding access
tag from it.
* getTBAAInfoForVTablePtr() reworked to
getTBAAVTablePtrAccessInfo() that now returns the
virtual-pointer access descriptor and not the virtual-point
type metadata.
* Added function getTBAAMayAliasAccessInfo() that returns the
descriptor for may-alias accesses.
* getTBAAStructTagInfo() renamed to getTBAAAccessTagInfo() as now
it is the only way to generate access tag by a given access
descriptor. It is capable of producing both scalar and
struct-path tags, depending on options and availability of the
base access type. getTBAAScalarTagInfo() and its cache
ScalarTagMetadataCache are eliminated.
* Now that we do not need to care about whether the resulting
access tag should be a scalar or struct-path one,
getTBAAStructTypeInfo() is renamed to getBaseTypeInfo().
* Added function getTBAAAccessInfo() that constructs access
descriptor by a given QualType access type.
This is part of D37826 reworked to be a separate patch to
simplify review.

With this patch we implement a concept of TBAA access descriptors
that are capable of representing both scalar and struct-path

Currently, if _attribute_((section())) is used for extern variables,
section information is not emitted in generated IR when the variables are used.
This is expected since sections are not generated for external linkage objects.
However NiosII requires this information as it uses special GP-relative accesses
for any objects that use attribute section (.sdata). GCC keeps this attribute in
middle-end.
This change emits the section information for all targets.

Summary:
This is the follow-up patch to D37924.
This change refactors clang to use the the newly added section headers
in SpecialCaseList to specify which sanitizers blacklists entries
should apply to, like so:
[cfi-vcall]
fun:*bad_vcall*
[cfi-derived-cast|cfi-unrelated-cast]
fun:*bad_cast*
The SanitizerSpecialCaseList class has been added to allow querying by
SanitizerMask, and SanitizerBlacklist and its downstream users have been
updated to provide that information. Old blacklists not using sections
will continue to function identically since the blacklist entries will
be placed into a '[*]' section by default matching against all
sanitizers.

Add an option to emit limited coverage info for unused decls. It's just a
cl::opt for now to allow us to experiment quickly.
When building llc, this results in an 84% size reduction in the llvm_covmap
section, and a similar size reduction in the llvm_prf_names section. In
practice I expect the size reduction to be roughly quadratic with the size of
the program.
The downside is that coverage for headers will no longer be complete. This will
make the line/function/region coverage metrics incorrect, since they will be
artificially high. One mitigation would be to somehow disable those metrics
when using limited-coverage=true.
This is related to: llvm.org/PR34533 (make SourceBasedCodeCoverage scale)

Summary:
Microsoft Visual Studio expects debug locations to correspond to
statements. We used to emit locations for expressions nested inside statements.
This would confuse the debugger, causing it to stop multiple times on the
same line and breaking the "step into specific" feature. This change inhibits
the emission of debug locations for nested expressions when emitting CodeView
debug information, unless column information is enabled.
Fixes PR34312.

By exposing the constant initializer, the optimizer can fold many
of these constructs.
This is a recommit of r311857 that was reverted in r311898 because
an assert was hit when building Chromium.
We have to take into account that the GlobalVariable may be first
created with a different type than the initializer. This can
happen for example when the variable is a struct with tail padding
while the initializer does not have padding. In such case, the
variable needs to be destroyed an replaced with a new one with the
type of the initializer.

the interface.
The ultimate goal here is to make it easier to do some more interesting
things in constant emission, like emit constant initializers that have
ignorable side-effects, or doing the majority of an initialization
in-place and then patching up the last few things with calls. But for
now this is mostly just a refactoring.

Certain targets (e.g. amdgcn) require global variable to stay in global or constant address
space. In C or C++ global variables are emitted in the default (generic) address space.
This patch introduces virtual functions TargetCodeGenInfo::getGlobalVarAddressSpace
and TargetInfo::getConstantAddressSpace to handle this in a general approach.
It only affects IR generated for amdgcn target.

In addition to the formal linkage rules, the Modules TS includes cases where
internal-linkage symbols within a module interface unit can be referenced from
outside the module via exported inline functions / templates. We give such
declarations "module-internal linkage", which is formally internal linkage, but
results in an externally-visible symbol.
