This index record the position for each metadata record in
the bitcode, so that the reader will be able to lazy-load
on demand each individual record.
We also make sure that every abbrev is emitted upfront so
that the block can be skipped while reading.
I don't plan to commit this before having the reader
counterpart, but I figured this can be reviewed mostly
independently.
Recommit r290684 (was reverted in r290686 because a test
was broken) after adding a threshold to avoid emitting
the index when unnecessary (little amount of metadata).
This optimization "hides" a limitation of the ability
to backpatch in the bitstream: we can only backpatch
safely when the position has been flushed. So if we emit
an index for one metadata, it is possible that (part of)
the offset placeholder hasn't been flushed and the backpatch
will fail.

Emit metadata nodes in post-order. The iterative algorithm from r266709
failed to maintain this property. After understanding my mistake, it
wasn't too hard to write a test with llvm-bcanalyzer (and I've actually
made this change once before: see r220340).
This also reverts the "noisy" testcase change from r266709. That should
have been more of a red flag :/.
Note: The same bug crept into the ValueMapper in r265456. I'm still
working on the fix.
