This introduces a new type-safe general purpose formatting
library. It provides compile-time type safety, does not require
a format specifier (since the type is deduced), and provides
mechanisms for extending the format capability to user defined
types, and overriding the formatting behavior for existing types.
This patch additionally adds documentation for the API to the
LLVM programmer's manual.

This resubmits r284436 and r284437, which were reverted in
r284462 as they were breaking the AArch64 buildbot.
The breakage on AArch64 turned out to be a miscompile which is
still not fixed, but is actively tracked at llvm.org/pr30748.
This resubmission re-writes the code in a way so as to make the
miscompile not happen.

This reverts commits 284436 and 284437 because they still break AArch64 bots:
Value of: format_number(-10, IntegerStyle::Integer, 1)
Actual: "-0"
Expected: "-10"

This resubmits commits 284425 and r284428, which were reverted
in r284429 due to some infinite recursion caused by an incorrect
selection of function overloads. Reproduced the failure on Linux
using GCC 4.8.4, and confirmed that with the new patch the tests
path on GCC as well as MSVC. So hopefully this fixes everything.

raw_ostream has not afforded a lot of flexibility in terms of
how to format numbers when outputting. Wrap this all up into
a set of low level helper functions that can be used to output
numbers with arbitrary precision, alignment, format, etc and
then update raw_ostream to use these functions.
This will be useful for upcoming improvements to llvm's string
formatting libraries, but are still useful independently.
