Add new API lto_codegen_compile_parallel().
This API is proposed by Nick Kledzik. The semantic is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generate code for merged module into an array of native object files. On
success returns a pointer to an array of NativeObjectFile. The count
parameter returns the number of elements in the array. Each element is
a pointer/length for a generated mach-o/ELF buffer. The buffer is owned
by the lto_code_gen_t and will be freed when lto_codegen_dispose() is called,
or lto_codegen_compile() is called again. On failure, returns NULL
(check lto_get_error_message() for details).
extern const struct NativeObjectFile*
lto_codegen_compile_parallel(lto_code_gen_t cg, size_t *count);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This API is currently only called on OSX platform. Linux or other Unixes
using GNU gold are not supposed to call this function, because on these systems,
object files are fed back to linker via disk file instead of memory buffer.
In this commit, lto_codegen_compile_parallel() simply calls
lto_codegen_compile() to return a single object file. In the near future,
this function is the entry point for compilation with partition. Linker can
blindly call this function even if partition is turned off; in this case,
compiler will return only one object file.

In order to appease people (in Apple) who accuse me for committing "huge change" (?) without proper review.
Thank Eric for fixing a compile-warning.

1. Add some helper classes for partitions. They are designed in a
way such that the top-level LTO driver will not see much difference
with or without partitioning.
2. Introduce work-dir. Now all intermediate files generated during
LTO phases will be saved under work-dir. User can specify the workdir
via -lto-workdir=/path/to/dir. By default the work-dir will be
erased before linker exit. To keep the workdir, do -lto-keep, or -lto-keep=1.
TODO: Erase the workdir, if the linker exit prematurely.
We are currently not able to remove directory on signal. The support
routines simply ignore directory.
3. Add one new API lto_codegen_get_files_need_remove().
Linker and LTO plugin will communicate via this API about which files
(including directories) need to removed before linker exit.

There already have two "dead" functions, initialize{IPO|IPA}, defined for
similar purpose. I decide not to call these two functions for two reasons:
o. they don't cover all LTO passes (which will soon be separated into IPO
and post-IPO passes)
o. We have not yet figured out the right passes and the ordering for IPO
and post-IPO stages, meaning this change is only for the time being.
Since LTO passes are registered, we are now able to print IR before and
after particular point.
For OSX users:
--------------
"...-Wl,-mllvm -Wl,-print-after=<pass-name>" will print IR after the
specified pass.
For Other UNIX with GNU gold linker:
------------------------------------
"-Wl,-plugin-opt=-print-after=<pass-name>" should work.
(NOTE: no need for "-Wl,-mllvm")
Strip "-Wl," if flags are fed directly to linker instead of clang/clang++.

The linker will call `lto_codegen_add_must_preserve_symbol' on all globals that
should be kept around. The linker will pretend that a dylib is being created.

This function sets the `_exportDynamic' ivar. When that's set, we export all
symbols (e.g. we don't run the internalize pass). This is equivalent to the
`--export-dynamic' linker flag in GNU land:
--export-dynamic
When creating a dynamically linked executable, add all symbols to the dynamic
symbol table. The dynamic symbol table is the set of symbols which are visible
from dynamic objects at run time. If you do not use this option, the dynamic
symbol table will normally contain only those symbols which are referenced by
some dynamic object mentioned in the link. If you use dlopen to load a dynamic
object which needs to refer back to the symbols defined by the program, rather
than some other dynamic object, then you will probably need to use this option
when linking the program itself.
The Darwin linker will support this via the `-export_dynamic' flag. We should
modify clang to support this via the `-rdynamic' flag.

Again, tools are trickier to pick the main module header for than
library source files. I've started to follow the pattern of using
LLVMContext.h when it is included as a stub for program source files.

There are some that I didn't remove this round because they looked like
obvious stubs. There are dead variables in gtest too, they should be
fixed upstream.

so we don't want it to show up in the stable 3.1 interface.
While at it, add a comment about why LTOCodeGenerator manually creates the
internalize pass.

uses.
The result produced by the streamer is used to give the linker more accurate
information and to add to llvm.compiler.used. The second improvement removes
the need for the user to add __attribute__((used)) to functions only used in
inline asm. The first one lets us build firefox with LTO on Darwin :-)

of a base class.
This makes it possible to unregister the file from FilesToRemove when
the file is done. Also, this eliminates the need for
formatted_tool_output_file.

Add lto_codegen_set_assembler_path() API which allows the linker to specify the
path to the assembler tool to run. When assembler is used (instead of compiler)
different command line options are used.
Add LTO_API_VERSION #define so clients (linkers) can conditionalize use of new APIs.

run when assembling.
Wire this up to the gold plugin. You can now pass --plugin-opt gcc=/foo/bar/gcc
and it will run that gcc instead of looking for it on the path.
