The non-opaque part can be structurally uniqued. To keep this to just
a hash lookup, we don't try to unique cyclic types.
Also change the type mapping algorithm to be optimistic about a type
not being recursive and only create a new type when proven to be wrong.
This is not as strong as trying to speculate that we can keep the source
type, but is simpler (no speculation to revert) and more powerfull
than what we had before (we don't copy non-recursive types at least).
I initially wrote this to try to replace the name based type merging.
It is not strong enough to replace it, but is is a useful addition.
With this patch the number of named struct types is a clang lto bootstrap goes
from 49674 to 15986.

The explicit set of destination types is not fully redundant when lazy loading
since the TypeFinder will not find types used only in function bodies.
This keeps the logic to drop the name of mapped types since it still helps
with avoiding further renaming.

Instead of keeping an explicit set, just drop the names of types we choose
to map to some other type.
This has the advantage that the name of the unused will not cause the context
to rename types on module read.

I noticed that it was untested, and forcing it on caused some tests to fail:
LLVM :: Linker/metadata-a.ll
LLVM :: Linker/prefixdata.ll
LLVM :: Linker/type-unique-odr-a.ll
LLVM :: Linker/type-unique-simple-a.ll
LLVM :: Linker/type-unique-simple2-a.ll
LLVM :: Linker/type-unique-simple2.ll
LLVM :: Linker/type-unique-type-array-a.ll
LLVM :: Linker/unnamed-addr1-a.ll
LLVM :: Linker/visibility1.ll
If it is to be resurrected, it has to be fixed and we should probably have a
-preserve-source command line option in llvm-mc and run tests with and without
it.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.
