Summary:
Before this change the Executable function was made by duplicating the
snippet. This change adds a --repetion-mode={loop|duplicate} flag that
allows choosing between this behaviour and wrapping the snippet instructions
in a loop.
The new mode can help measurements when the snippet fits in the DSB by
short-cirtcuiting decoding. The loop adds a dec + jmp to the measurements, but
since these are not part of the critical path, they execute in parallel
with the measured code and do not impact measurements in practice.
Overview of the change:
- New SnippetRepetitor abstraction that handles repeating the snippet.
The assembler delegates repeating the instructions to this class.
- ExegesisTarget learns how to decrement loop counter and jump.
- Some refactoring of the assembler into FunctionFiller/BasicBlockFiller.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This allows simplifying references of llvm::foo with foo when the needs
come in the future.

Also adjust some of dsymutil's headers to put the header guards at the top,
otherwise the compiler will not recognize them as header guards.

Summary:
This allows targets to override code generation for some instructions.
As an example of override, this also moves ad-hoc instruction filtering
for X86 into the X86 ExegesisTarget.

Summary:
This ensures that the snippet always sees the same values for registers,
making measurements reproducible.
This will also allow exploring different values.

Restructuring the code to measure latency and uops.
The end goal is to have this program spawn another process to deal with SIGILL and other malformed programs. It is not yet the case in this redesign, it is still the main program that runs the code (and may crash).
It now uses BitVector instead of Graph for performance reasons.
