Because references must be initialized using some evaluated expression, they
must point to something, and a callee can assume the reference parameter is
dereferenceable. Taking advantage of a new attribute just added to LLVM, mark
them as such.
Because dereferenceability in addrspace(0) implies nonnull in the backend, we
don't need both attributes. However, we need to know the size of the object to
use the dereferenceable attribute, so for incomplete types we still emit only
nonnull.

bitfield related issues.
The original commit broke Takumi's builder. The bug was caused by bitfield sizes
being determined by their underlying type, rather than the field info. A similar
issue with bitfield alignments showed up on closer testing. Both have been fixed
in this patch.

move-constructors and move-assignment operators, use memcpy to copy adjacent
POD members.
Previously, classes with one or more Non-POD members would fall back on
element-wise copies for all members, including POD members. This often
generated a lot of IR. Without padding metadata, it wasn't often possible
for the LLVM optimizers to turn the element-wise copies into a memcpy.
This code hasn't yet received any serious tuning. I didn't see any serious
regressions on a self-hosted clang build, or any of the nightly tests, but
I think it's important to get this out in the wild to get more testing.
Insights, feedback and comments welcome.
Many thanks to David Blaikie, Richard Smith, and especially John McCall for
their help and feedback on this work.

at whether the *selected* constructor would be trivial rather than considering
whether the array's element type has *any* non-trivial constructors of the
relevant kind.

implicitly-generated copy constructor. Previously, Sema would perform
some checking and instantiation to determine which copy constructors,
etc., would be called, then CodeGen would attempt to figure out which
copy constructor to call... but would get it wrong, or poke at an
uninstantiated default argument, or fail in other ways.
The new scheme is similar to what we now do for the implicit
copy-assignment operator, where Sema performs all of the semantic
analysis and builds specific ASTs that look similar to the ASTs we'd
get from explicitly writing the copy constructor, so that CodeGen need
only do a direct translation.
However, it's not quite that simple because one cannot explicit write
elementwise copy-construction of an array. So, I've extended
CXXBaseOrMemberInitializer to contain a list of indexing variables
used to copy-construct the elements. For example, if we have:
struct A { A(const A&); };
struct B {
A array[2][3];
};
then we generate an implicit copy assignment operator for B that looks
something like this:
B::B(const B &other) : array[i0][i1](other.array[i0][i1]) { }
CodeGen will loop over the invented variables i0 and i1 to visit all
elements in the array, so that each element in the destination array
will be copy-constructed from the corresponding element in the source
array. Of course, if we're dealing with arrays of scalars or class
types with trivial copy-assignment operators, we just generate a
memcpy rather than a loop.
Fixes PR6928, PR5989, and PR6887. Boost.Regex now compiles and passes
all of its regression tests.
Conspicuously missing from this patch is handling for the exceptional
case, where we need to destruct those objects that we have
constructed. I'll address that case separately.
