The requirements of the strong heuristic are:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)

SSPStrong applies a heuristic to insert stack protectors in these situations:
* A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of
type or length.
* A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which
contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to
the depth of nesting.
* A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack
based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is
taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as
part of a function argument.)
This patch implements the SSPString attribute to be equivalent to
SSPRequired. This will change in a subsequent patch.

This change also removes a bunch of boilerplate and stuffing which made
it unnecessarily hard to navigate and see the comparatively miniscule
actual content that was added to this document during the 3.2
development period (or maybe even sticking around from earlier
releases...).
The new organization (a flat list) optimizes for making it easy for
people who know about changes to add them to the document. It's
completely trivial for anyone with basic knowledge of LLVM to come in
later (such as when preparing for the actual release) and cluster any
changes into logical groups. However, I have left some comments
indicating how to add larger descriptions, if someone is feeling
adventurous ;)
Hopefully this organization will highlight how little effort is being
put into producing accurate, high-quality release notes, prompting a
corresponding improvement for the 3.3 release.
I have preserved the changes to this document that are not present
in the 3.2 release notes. There were only two... I'm pretty sure we've
been busier than that... (version control shows +213347/-173656 raw
lines just in the LLVM repo since the 3.2 release).

grep is now only mentioned once in a sentence that explicitly says it's
deprecated. For FileCheck, there's no reason to repeat part of the
documentation that exists in CommandGuide/FileCheck.

- This code is dead, and the "right" way to get this support is to use the
platform-specific linker-integrated LTO mechanisms, or the forthcoming LLVM
linker.

Before we learned about :doc:, we used :ref: and put a dummy link at the
top of each page. Don't do that anymore.
This fixes PR14891 as a special case.
