The 3-field form was introduced by D3499 in 2014 and the legacy 2-field
form was planned to be removed in LLVM 4.0
For the textual format, this patch migrates the existing 2-field form to
use the 3-field form and deletes the compatibility code.
test/Verifier/global-ctors-2.ll checks we have a friendly error message.
For bitcode, lib/IR/AutoUpgrade UpgradeGlobalVariables will upgrade the
2-field form (add i8* null as the third field).

We have been using .init-array for most systems for quiet some time,
but tools like llc are still defaulting to .ctors because the old
option was never changed.
This patch makes llc default to .init-array and changes the option to
be -use-ctors.
Clang is not affected by this. It has its own fancier logic.
