Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 1fbdccf334 Reapply ~"Bitcode: Collect all MDString records into a single blob"
Spiritually reapply commit r264409 (reverted in r264410), albeit with a
bit of a redesign.

Firstly, avoid splitting the big blob into multiple chunks of strings.

r264409 imposed an arbitrary limit to avoid a massive allocation on the
shared 'Record' SmallVector.  The bug with that commit only reproduced
when there were more than "chunk-size" strings.  A test for this would
have been useless long-term, since we're liable to adjust the chunk-size
in the future.

Thus, eliminate the motivation for chunk-ing by storing the string sizes
in the blob.  Here's the layout:

    vbr6: # of strings
    vbr6: offset-to-blob
    blob:
       [vbr6]: string lengths
       [char]: concatenated strings

Secondly, make the output of llvm-bcanalyzer readable.

I noticed when debugging r264409 that llvm-bcanalyzer was outputting a
massive blob all in one line.  Past a small number, the strings were
impossible to split in my head, and the lines were way too long.  This
version adds support in llvm-bcanalyzer for pretty-printing.

    <STRINGS abbrevid=4 op0=3 op1=9/> num-strings = 3 {
      'abc'
      'def'
      'ghi'
    }

From the original commit:

Inspired by Mehdi's similar patch, http://reviews.llvm.org/D18342, this
should (a) slightly reduce bitcode size, since there is less record
overhead, and (b) greatly improve reading speed, since blobs are super
cheap to deserialize.
