The erase/remove from parent methods now use a switch table to remove
themselves from their appropriate parent ilist.
The copyAttributesFrom method is now completely non-virtual, since we
only ever copy attributes from a global of the appropriate type.

I checked that all of these out-of-line methods previously compiled to
simple loads and bittests, so they are pretty good candidates for
inlining. In particular, arg_size() and arg_empty() are popular and are
just two loads, so they seem worth inlining.

Summary:
Convention wisdom says that bytes in Function are precious, and the
vast, vast majority of globals do not live in special sections. Even
when they do, they tend to live in the same section. Store the section
name on the LLVMContext in a StringSet, and maintain a map from
GlobalObject* to section name like we do for metadata, prefix data, etc.
The fact that we've survived this long wasting at least three pointers
of space in Function suggests that Function bytes are perhaps not as
precious as we once thought. Given that most functions have metadata
attachments when debug info is enabled, we might consider adding a
pointer here to make that access more efficient.

The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

This will be necessary to allow the global merge pass to attach
multiple debug info metadata nodes to global variables once we reverse
the edge from DIGlobalVariable to GlobalVariable.

This patch adds an IR, assembly and bitcode representation for metadata
attachments for globals. Future patches will port existing features to use
these new attachments.

This is needed by all GlobalObjects (GlobalAlias, Function,
GlobalVariable), see the GlobalObject::getValueType which is used in
many places. If at some point that can be removed, then we can remove
this member.

To do this, change the representation of lazy loaded functions.
The previous representation cannot differentiate between a function whose body
has been removed and one whose body hasn't been read from the .bc file. That
means that in order to drop a function, the entire body had to be read.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.

This patch changes GlobalAlias to point to an arbitrary ConstantExpr and it is
up to MC (or the system assembler) to decide if that expression is valid or not.
This reduces our ability to diagnose invalid uses and how early we can spot
them, but it also lets us do things like
@test5 = alias inttoptr(i32 sub (i32 ptrtoint (i32* @test2 to i32),
i32 ptrtoint (i32* @bar to i32)) to i32*)
An important implication of this patch is that the notion of aliased global
doesn't exist any more. The alias has to encode the information needed to
access it in its metadata (linkage, visibility, type, etc).
Another consequence to notice is that getSection has to return a "const char *".
It could return a NullTerminatedStringRef if there was such a thing, but when
that was proposed the decision was to just uses "const char*" for that.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but
not an alias. This is already a cleanup by itself IMHO, but the main
reason for it is that it gives a lot more confidence that the refactoring to fix
the design of GlobalAlias is correct. That will be a followup patch.
