Add lto_codegen_set_assembler_path() API which allows the linker to specify the
path to the assembler tool to run. When assembler is used (instead of compiler)
different command line options are used.
Add LTO_API_VERSION #define so clients (linkers) can conditionalize use of new APIs.

- This matches llvm-ld.
It took a bit of archeology to figure out what the right thing to do was
(whether this was intentionally added or intentionally removed). My final
conclusion is that Chris added this intentionally here:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=16913
but the changes weren't propogated to llvm-ld until here:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=34058
which was after lto.cpp had been cloned off (of llvm-ld), here:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=29494
From the commit message, it looks like the motivation for running global opt
again is because we ran it prior to inlining. Based on that I updated the
comment and also only run the pass if we actually ran the inliner.
Chris, please review.

run when assembling.
Wire this up to the gold plugin. You can now pass --plugin-opt gcc=/foo/bar/gcc
and it will run that gcc instead of looking for it on the path.
