This is conventional command-line tool behavior. -f now just means
"enable binary output on terminals".
Add a -f option to llvm-extract and llvm-link, for consistency.
Remove F_Force from raw_fd_ostream and enable overwriting and
truncating by default. Introduce an F_Excl flag to permit users to
enable a failure when the file already exists. This flag is
currently unused.
Update Makefiles and documentation accordingly.

- The naming prefix is LLVM.
- All types are represented using opaque references.
- Functions are not named LLVM{Type}{Method}; the names became
unreadable goop. Instead, they are named LLVM{ImperativeSentence}.
- Where an attribute only appears once in the class hierarchy (e.g.,
linkage only applies to values; parameter types only apply to
function types), the class is omitted from identifiers for
brevity. Tastes like methods.
- Strings are C strings or string/length tuples on a case-by-case
basis.
- APIs which give the caller ownership of an object are not mapped
(removeFromParent, certain constructor overloads). This keeps
keep memory management as simple as possible.
For each library with bindings:
llvm-c/<LIB>.h - Declares the bindings.
lib/<LIB>/<LIB>.cpp - Implements the bindings.
So just link with the library of your choice and use the C header
instead of the C++ one.
