[CodeGen] Introduce a FAULTING_LOAD_OP pseudo-op.

Summary:
This instruction encodes a loading operation that may fault, and a label
to branch to if the load page-faults.  The locations of potentially
faulting loads and their "handler" destinations are recorded in a
FaultMap section, meant to be consumed by LLVM's clients.

Nothing generates FAULTING_LOAD_OP instructions yet, but they will be
used in a future change.

The documentation (FaultMaps.rst) needs improvement and I will update
this diff with a more expanded version shortly.

Depends on D10196

+==============================
+FaultMaps and implicit checks
+==============================
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+Code generated by managed language runtimes tend to have checks that
+are required for safety but never fail in practice.  In such cases, it
+is profitable to make the non-failing case cheaper even if it makes
+the failing case significantly more expensive.  This asymmetry can be
+exploited by folding such safety checks into operations that can be
+made to fault reliably if the check would have failed, and recovering
+from such a fault by using a signal handler.
+
+For example, Java requires null checks on objects before they are read
+from or written to.  If the object is ``null`` then a
+``NullPointerException`` has to be thrown, interrupting normal
+execution.  In practice, however, dereferencing a ``null`` pointer is
+extremely rare in well-behaved Java programs, and typically the null
+check can be folded into a nearby memory operation that operates on
+the same memory location.
+
+The Fault Map Section
+=====================
+
+Information about implicit checks generated by LLVM are put in a
+special "fault map" section.  On Darwin this section is named
+``__llvm_faultmaps``.
+
+The format of this section is
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  Header {
+    uint8  : Fault Map Version (current version is 1)
+    uint8  : Reserved (expected to be 0)
+    uint16 : Reserved (expected to be 0)
+  }
+  uint32 : NumFunctions
+  FunctionInfo[NumFunctions] {
+    uint64 : FunctionAddress
+    uint32 : NumFaultingPCs
+    uint32 : Reserved (expected to be 0)
+    FunctionFaultInfo[NumFaultingPCs] {
+      uint32  : FaultType = FaultMaps::FaultingLoad (only legal value currently)
+      uint32  : FaultingPCOffset
+      uint32  : handlerPCOffset
+    }
+  }
