1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.

This patch replaces signed integer types with signless ones:
1. [US]Byte -> Int8
2. [U]Short -> Int16
3. [U]Int -> Int32
4. [U]Long -> Int64.
5. Removal of isSigned, isUnsigned, getSignedVersion, getUnsignedVersion
and other methods related to signedness. In a few places this warranted
identifying the signedness information from other sources.

Move include/Config and include/Support into include/llvm/Config,
include/llvm/ADT and include/llvm/Support. From here on out, all LLVM
public header files must be under include/llvm/.

as well as arguments. Now it can delete arguments and return values which are
only passed into other arguments or are returned, if they are dead. This causes
it to delete several hundred extra args/retvals from the C++ hello world program,
shrinking it by about 2K.
