Summary:
Several fixes to the handling of bitcode files without function summary
sections so that they are skipped during ThinLTO processing in llvm-lto
and the gold plugin when appropriate instead of aborting.
1 Don't assert when trying to add a FunctionInfo that doesn't have
a summary attached.
2 Skip FunctionInfo structures that don't have attached function summary
sections when trying to create the combined function summary.
3 In both llvm-lto and gold-plugin, check whether a bitcode file has
a function summary section before trying to parse the index, and skip
the bitcode file if it does not.
4 Fix hasFunctionSummaryInMemBuffer in BitcodeReader, which had a bug
where we returned to early while looking for the summary section.
Also added llvm-lto and gold-plugin based tests for cases where we
don't have function summaries in the bitcode file. I verified that
either the first couple fixes described above are enough to avoid the
crashes, or fixes 1,3,4. But have combined them all here for added
robustness.

The first customer is ThinLTO, however the data structures are designed
and named more generally based on prior feedback. There are a few
comments regarding how certain interfaces are used by ThinLTO, and the
options added here to gold currently have ThinLTO-specific names as the
behavior they provoke is currently ThinLTO-specific.
This patch includes support for generating per-module function indexes,
the combined index file via the gold plugin, and several tests
(more are included with the associated clang patch D11908).
