Document the new parameter and threshod computation
model. Also fix a bug when the threshold parameter
is set to be different from the default.

Summary: With runtime profile, we have more confidence in branch probability, thus during basic block layout, we set a lower hot prob threshold so that blocks can be layouted optimally.

This patch removes all getEdgeWeight() interfaces from CodeGen directory. As
getEdgeProbability() is a little more expensive than getEdgeWeight(), I will
compose a patch soon in which BPI only stores probabilities instead of edge
weights so that getEdgeProbability() will have O(1) time.

(This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first caused two assertion
failures and was reverted. See https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25687)
The patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D13745 is broken into four parts:
1. New interfaces without functional changes (http://reviews.llvm.org/D13908).
2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities
as weights (http://reviews.llvm.org/D14361).
3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.
4. Remove old interfaces.
This patch is 3+4 above. In this patch, MBB won't provide weight-based
interfaces any more, which are totally replaced by probability-based ones.
The interface addSuccessor() is redesigned so that the default probability is
unknown. We allow unknown probabilities but don't allow using it together
with known probabilities in successor list. That is to say, we either have a
list of successors with all known probabilities, or all unknown
probabilities. In the latter case, we assume each successor has 1/N
probability where N is the number of successors. An assertion checks if the
user is attempting to add a successor with the disallowed mixed use as stated
above. This can help us catch many misuses.
All uses of weight-based interfaces are now updated to use probability-based
ones.

1. Create a utility function normalizeEdgeWeights() in MachineBranchProbabilityInfo that normalizes a list of edge weights so that the sum of then can fit in uint32_t.
2. Provide an interface in MachineBasicBlock to normalize its successors' weights.
3. Add a flag in MachineBasicBlock that tracks whether its successors' weights are normalized.
4. Provide an overload of getSumForBlock that accepts a non-const pointer to a MBB so that it can force normalizing this MBB's successors' weights.
5. Update several uses of getSumForBlock() by eliminating the once needed weight scale.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

The getSumForBlock function was quadratic in the number of successors
because getSuccWeight would perform a linear search for an already known
iterator.
This patch was originally committed as r161460, but reverted again
because of assertion failures. Now that duplicate Machine CFG edges have
been eliminated, this works properly.

correctly handle blocks whose successor weights sum to more than
UINT32_MAX. This is slightly less efficient, but the entire thing is
already linear on the number of successors. Calling it within any hot
routine is a mistake, and indeed no one is calling it. It also
simplifies the code.

the sum of the edge weights not overflowing uint32, and crashed when
they did. This is generally safe as BranchProbabilityInfo tries to
provide this guarantee. However, the CFG can get modified during codegen
in a way that grows the *sum* of the edge weights. This doesn't seem
unreasonable (imagine just adding more blocks all with the default
weight of 16), but it is hard to come up with a case that actually
triggers 32-bit overflow. Fortuately, the single-source GCC build is
good at this. The solution isn't very pretty, but its no worse than the
previous code. We're already summing all of the edge weights on each
query, we can sum them, check for an overflow, compute a scale, and sum
them again.
I've included a *greatly* reduced test case out of the GCC source that
triggers it. It's a pretty lame test, as it clearly is just barely
triggering the overflow. I'd like to have something that is much more
definitive, but I don't understand the fundamental pattern that triggers
an explosion in the edge weight sums.
The buggy code is duplicated within this file. I'll colapse them into
a single implementation in a subsequent commit.
