This patch replaces RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo with JITSymbol: A symbol class
that is capable of lazy materialization (i.e. the symbol definition needn't be
emitted until the address is requested). This can be used to support common
and weak symbols in the JIT (though this is not implemented in this patch).
For consistency, RuntimeDyld::SymbolResolver is renamed to JITSymbolResolver.
For space efficiency a new class, JITEvaluatedSymbol, is introduced that
behaves like the old RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo - i.e. it is just a pair of an
address and symbol flags. Instances of JITEvaluatedSymbol can be used in
symbol-tables to avoid paying the space cost of the materializer.

This tidies up some code that was manually constructing RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo
instances from JITSymbols. It will save more mess in the future when
JITSymbol::getAddress is extended to return an Expected<TargetAddress> rather
than just a TargetAddress, since we'll be able to embed the error checking in
the conversion.

This chapter demonstrates lazily JITing from ASTs with the expressions being
executed on a remote machine via a TCP connection. It needs some polish, but is
substantially complete.
Currently x86-64 SysV ABI (Darwin and Linux) only, but other architectures
can be supported by changing the server code to use alternative ABI support
classes from llvm/include/llvm/ExecutionEngine/Orc/OrcABISupport.h.

Symbol resolution should be done on the top layer of the stack unless there's a
good reason to do otherwise. In this case it would have worked because
OptimizeLayer::addModuleSet eagerly passes all modules down to the
CompileLayer, meaning that searches in CompileLayer will find the definitions.
In later chapters where the top layer's addModuleSet isn't a pass-through, this
would break.

This is a work in progress - the chapter text is incomplete, though
the example code compiles and runs.
Feedback and patches are, as usual, most welcome.
