Some programs (e.g. Linux) aren't able to handle function/data sections when
LTO is used. Thus they need a way to disable it. That can be done with these
plugin options:
-plugin-opt=-function-sections=0
-plugin-opt=-data-sections=0

In this case ThinLTO can't create corresponding index file and some features, like CFI,

Given that we don't need the backed output we can request it to avoid
processing the module. This is implemented by this patch using new

Summary:
ELF linkers generate __start_<secname> and __stop_<secname> symbols
when there is a value in a section <secname> where the name is a valid
C identifier. If dead stripping determines that the values declared
in section <secname> are dead, and we then internalize (and delete)
such a symbol, programs that reference the corresponding start and end
section symbols will get undefined reference linking errors.
To fix this, add the section name to the IRSymtab entry when a symbol is
defined in a specific section. Then use this in the gold-plugin to mark
the symbol as external and visible from outside the summary when the
section name is a valid C identifier.

Introduce symbol table data structures that can be potentially written to
disk, have the LTO library build those data structures using temporarily
constructed modules and redirect the LTO library implementation to go through
those data structures. This allows us to remove the LLVMContext and Modules
owned by InputFile.
With this change I measured a peak memory consumption decrease from 5.4GB to
2.8GB in a no-op incremental ThinLTO link of Chromium on Linux. The impact on
memory consumption is larger in COFF linkers where we are currently forced
to materialize all metadata in order to read linker options. Peak memory
consumption linking a large piece of Chromium for Windows with full LTO and
debug info decreases from >64GB (OOM) to 15GB.

Summary:
The cumulative size of the bitcode files for a very large application
can be huge, particularly with -g. In a distributed build environment,
all of these files must be sent to the remote build node that performs
the thin link step, and this can exceed size limits.
The thin link actually only needs the summary along with a bitcode
symbol table. Until we have a proper bitcode symbol table, simply
stripping the debug metadata results in significant size reduction.
Add support for an option to additionally emit minimized bitcode
modules, just for use in the thin link step, which for now just strips
all debug metadata. I plan to add a cc1 option so this can be invoked
easily during the compile step.
However, care must be taken to ensure that these minimized thin link
bitcode files produce the same index as with the original bitcode files,
as these original bitcode files will be used in the backends.
Specifically:
1) The module hash used for caching is typically produced by hashing the
written bitcode, and we want to include the hash that would correspond
to the original bitcode file. This is because we want to ensure that
changes in the stripped portions affect caching. Added plumbing to emit
the same module hash in the minimized thin link bitcode file.
2) The module paths in the index are constructed from the module ID of
each thin linked bitcode, and typically is automatically generated from
the input file path. This is the path used for finding the modules to
import from, and obviously we need this to point to the original bitcode
files. Added gold-plugin support to take a suffix replacement during the
thin link that is used to override the identifier on the MemoryBufferRef
constructed from the loaded thin link bitcode file. The assumption is
that the build system can specify that the minimized bitcode file has a
name that is similar but uses a different suffix (e.g. out.thinlink.bc
instead of out.o).
Added various tests to ensure that we get identical index files out of
the thin link step.

After the call to sys::fs::exists succeeds, indicating a cache hit, we call
AddFile and the client will open the file using the supplied path. If the
client is using cache pruning, there is a potential race between the pruner
and the client. To avoid this, change the caching API so that it provides
a MemoryBuffer to the client, and have clients use that MemoryBuffer where
possible.
This scheme won't work with the gold plugin because the plugin API expects a
file path. So we have the gold plugin use the buffer identifier as a path and
live with the race for now. (Note that the gold plugin isn't actually affected
by the problem at the moment because it doesn't support cache pruning.)
This effectively reverts r279883 modulo the change to use the existing path
in the gold plugin.
