Reid Kleckner 3fc649cb76 [Support] Rename tool_output_file to ToolOutputFile, NFC
This class isn't similar to anything from the STL, so it shouldn't use
the STL naming conventions.

Peter Collingbourne a0f371a106 Bitcode: Add a string table to the bitcode format.
Add a top-level STRTAB block containing a string table blob, and start storing
strings for module codes FUNCTION, GLOBALVAR, ALIAS, IFUNC and COMDAT in
the string table.

This change allows us to share names between globals and comdats as well
as between modules, and improves the efficiency of loading bitcode files by
no longer using a bit encoding for symbol names. Once we start writing the
irsymtab to the bitcode file we will also be able to share strings between
it and the module.

On my machine, link time for Chromium for Linux with ThinLTO decreases by
about 7% for no-op incremental builds or about 1% for full builds. Total
bitcode file size decreases by about 3%.

Peter Collingbourne cb6b920ba0 Add llvm-modextract tool.
This program is for testing features that rely on multi-module bitcode files.
It takes a multi-module bitcode file, extracts one of the modules and writes
it to the output file.
