Summary:
Currently llvm::SplitModule as the first step globalizes all local objects, which might not be desirable in some scenarios.
This change adds a new flag to llvm::SplitModule that uses SCC approach to search for a balanced partition without the need to externalize symbols.
Such partition might not be possible or fully balanced for a given number of partitions, and is a function of the module properties (global/local dependencies within the module).

This adds a new API, LTOCodeGenerator::setFileType, to choose the output file
format for LTO CodeGen. A corresponding change to use this new API from
llvm-lto and a test case is coming in a separate commit.

Specifically, the header now provides llvm::thread, which is either a
typedef of std::thread or a replacement that calls the function synchronously
depending on the value of LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS.

llvm::splitCodeGen is a function that implements the core of parallel LTO
code generation. It uses llvm::SplitModule to split the module into linkable
partitions and spawning one code generation thread per partition. The function
produces multiple object files which can be linked in the usual way.
This has been threaded through to LTOCodeGenerator (and llvm-lto for testing
purposes). Separate patches will add parallel LTO support to the gold plugin
and lld.
