Summary:
Binary formats often include various enumerations or bitsets, but using
endian-specific types for accessing them is tricky because they
currently only support integral types. This is particularly true for
scoped enums (enum class), as these are not implicitly convertible to
integral types, and so one has to perform two casts just to read the
enum value.
This fixes that support by adding first-class support for enumeration
types to endian-specific types. The support for them was already almost
working -- all I needed to do was overload getSwappedBytes for
enumeration types (which casts the enum to its underlying type and performs the
conversion there). I also add some convenience template aliases to simplify
declaring endian-specific enums.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
As per Duncan's review for D12536, I extracted the sub-byte bit aligned
reading and writing code into lib/Support, and generalized it. Added calls from
BackpatchWord. Also added unittests.

* Add support for specifying the alignment to use.
* Add the concept of native endianness. Used for unaligned native types.
The native alignment and read/write simplification is based on a patch by Richard Smith.
