This commit a 3rd attempt at comitting the initial MIR serialization patch.
The first commit (r237708) was reverted in 237730. Then the second commit
(r237954) was reverted in r238007, as the MIR library under CodeGen caused
a circular dependency where the CodeGen library depended on MIR and MIR
library depended on CodeGen.
This commit has fixed the dependencies between CodeGen and MIR by
reorganizing the MIR serialization code - the code that prints out
MIR has been moved to CodeGen, and the MIR library has been renamed
to MIRParser. Now the CodeGen library doesn't depend on the
MIRParser library, thus the circular dependency no longer exists.
--Original Commit Message--
MIR Serialization: print and parse LLVM IR using MIR format.
This commit is the initial commit for the MIR serialization project.
It creates a new library under CodeGen called 'MIR'. This new
library adds a new machine function pass that prints out the LLVM IR
using the MIR format. This pass is then added as a last pass when a
'stop-after' option is used in llc. The new library adds the initial
functionality for parsing of MIR files as well. This commit also
extends the llc tool so that it can recognize and parse MIR input files.

its own library. These functions are bridging between the bitcode reader
and the ll parser which are in different libraries. Previously we didn't
have any good library to do this, and instead played fast and loose with
a "header only" set of interfaces in the Support library. This really
doesn't work well as evidenced by the recent attempt to add timing logic
to the these routines.
As part of this, make them normal functions rather than weird inline
functions, and sink the implementation into the library. Also clean up
the header to be nice and minimal.
This requires updating lots of build system dependencies to specify that
the IRReader library is needed, and several source files to not
implicitly rely upon the header file to transitively include all manner
of other headers.
If you are using IRReader.h, this commit will break you (the header
moved) and you'll need to also update your library usage to include
'irreader'. I will commit the corresponding change to Clang momentarily.
