Summary:
When bugpoint attempts to find the other executables it needs to run,
such as `opt` or `clang`, it tries searching the user's PATH. However,
in many cases, the 'bugpoint' executable is part of an LLVM build, and
the 'opt' executable it's looking for is in that same directory.
Many LLVM tools handle this case by using the `Paths` parameter of
`llvm::sys::findProgramByName`, passing the parent path of the currently
running executable. Do this same thing for bugpoint. However, to
preserve the current behavior exactly, first search the user's PATH,
and then search for 'opt' in the directory containing 'bugpoint'.
Test Plan:
`check-llvm`. Many of the existing bugpoint tests no longer need to use the
`--opt-command` option as a result of these changes.

If the tests don't use the in-tree opt, we're liable to see some silly
error messages due to the version mismatch (missing flags, etc).

Summary:
This patch adds two flags to `bugpoint`: "-replace-funcs-with-null" and "-disable-pass-list-reduction".
When "-replace-funcs-with-null" is specified, bugpoint will, instead of simply deleting function bodies, replace all uses of functions and then will delete functions completely from the test module, correctly handling aliasing and @llvm.used && @llvm.compiler.used. This part was conceived while trying to debug the PNaCl IR simplification passes, which don't allow undefined functions (ie no declarations).
With "-disable-pass-list-reduction", bugpoint won't try to reduce the set of passes causing the "crash". This is needed in cases where one is trying to debug an issue inside the PNaCl IR simplification passes which is causing an PNaCl ABI verification error, for example.
