Summary:
Attaching !absolute_symbol to a global variable does two things:
1) Marks it as an absolute symbol reference.
2) Specifies the value range of that symbol's address.
Teach the X86 backend to allow absolute symbols to appear in place of
immediates by extending the relocImm and mov64imm32 matchers. Start using
relocImm in more places where it is legal.

The relocations for `DIEEntry::EmitValue` were wrong for Win64
(emitting FK_Data_4 instead of FK_SecRel_4). This corrects that
oversight so that the DWARF data is correct in Win64 COFF files.
Fixes PR15393.

Now that PointerType is no longer a SequentialType, all SequentialTypes
have an associated number of elements, so we can move that information to
the base class, allowing for a number of simplifications.

This is for a couple of reasons:
- Values of type PointerType are unlike the other SequentialTypes (arrays
and vectors) in that they do not hold values of the element type. By moving
PointerType we can unify certain aspects of how the other SequentialTypes
are handled.
- PointerType will have no place in the SequentialType hierarchy once
pointee types are removed, so this is a necessary step towards removing
pointee types.

The previously used "names" are rather descriptions (they use multiple
words and contain spaces), use short programming language identifier
like strings for the "names" which should be used when exporting to
machine parseable formats.
Also removed a unused TimerGroup from Hexxagon.

Summary:
We update the documentation to define what the requirements are for the
provided XRay log handler. This is to make it clear that the function
pointer provided must do internal synchronisation and that there are no
guarantees provided by XRay on when the function shall be invoked once
it has been installed as a log handler.

`shl nsw i8 1, i8 8` is poison, but `mul i8 1, i8 128` is not.
This was discussed previously here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-April/084195.html. From
the discussion, it was not clear which semantics we want for `shl`, but
for now at least make the language reference more accurate.

This introduces a new type-safe general purpose formatting
library. It provides compile-time type safety, does not require
a format specifier (since the type is deduced), and provides
mechanisms for extending the format capability to user defined
types, and overriding the formatting behavior for existing types.
This patch additionally adds documentation for the API to the
LLVM programmer's manual.

If the inrange keyword is present before any index, loading from or
storing to any pointer derived from the getelementptr has undefined
behavior if the load or store would access memory outside of the bounds of
the element selected by the index marked as inrange.
This can be used, e.g. for alias analysis or to split globals at element
boundaries where beneficial.

Summary:
This is the initial version of the documentation for how to use XRay as
it stands in LLVM, Clang, and compiler-rt. We leave some room for later
expansion mentioining what is work in progress and what could be
expected moving forward.
We also give a high level overview of future work that's both ongoing
and planned.

ExitOnError is often a better alternative to handleErrors for tool code. This
patch makes it easier to find the ExitOnError discussion when reading the
handleErrors section.
Thanks to Peter Collingbourne for the suggestion.

Summary:
This allows to have clang and llvm and the other subprojects
side-by-side instead of nested. This can be used with the monorepo or
multiple repos.
It will help having a single set of sources checked out but allows to
have a build directory with llvm and another one with llvm+clang.
Basically it abstracts LLVM_EXTERNAL_xxxx_SOURCE_DIR making it more
convenient by adopting a convention.

Summary:
Some changes are made to cmake, especially the addition of a new
LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS option that makes the build system aware of
the monorepo directory structure.
Also a new script is added in llvm/utils/git-svn/. When present in
the $PATH, it enables a `git llvm` command. It is providing at this
point only the ability to push from the git monorepo: `git llvm push`.
It is intended to evolves with more features, for instance I plan on
features like `git llvm show r284955` to help working with sequential
revision numbers.
The push feature is taken from Justin Lebar's script available here:

This contains just enough for lib/Target/RISCV to compile. Notably a basic
RISCVTargetMachine and RISCVTargetInfo. At this point you can attempt llc
-march=riscv32 myinput.ll and will find it fails due to the lack of
MCAsmInfo.
