The bytes inserted before an overaligned global need to be padded according
to the alignment set on the original global in order for the initializer
to meet the global's alignment requirements. The previous implementation
that padded to the pointer width happened to be correct for vtables on most
platforms but may do the wrong thing if the vtable has a larger alignment.
This issue is visible with a prototype implementation of HWASAN for globals,
which will overalign all globals including vtables to 16 bytes.
There is also no padding requirement for the bytes inserted after the global
because they are never read from nor are they significant for alignment
purposes, so stop inserting padding there.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

We can't reuse the llvm.assume instruction's bitcast because it may not
dominate every user of the vtable pointer.

A future change will cause this byte offset to be inttoptr'd and then exported
via an absolute symbol. On the importing end we will expect the symbol to be
in range [0,2^32) so that it will fit into a 32-bit relocation. The problem
is that on 64-bit architectures if the offset is negative it will not be in
the correct range once we inttoptr it.
This change causes us to use a 32-bit integer so that it can be inttoptr'd
(which zero extends) into the correct range.

This intrinsic safely loads a function pointer from a virtual table pointer
using type metadata. This intrinsic is used to implement control flow integrity
in conjunction with virtual call optimization. The virtual call optimization
pass will optimize away llvm.type.checked.load intrinsics associated with
devirtualized calls, thereby removing the type check in cases where it is
not needed to enforce the control flow integrity constraint.
This patch also introduces the capability to copy type metadata between
global variables, and teaches the virtual call optimization pass to do so.

The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

This pass implements whole program optimization of virtual calls in cases
where we know (via bitset information) that the list of callees is fixed. This
includes the following:
- Single implementation devirtualization: if a virtual call has a single
possible callee, replace all calls with a direct call to that callee.
- Virtual constant propagation: if the virtual function's return type is an
integer <=64 bits and all possible callees are readnone, for each class and
each list of constant arguments: evaluate the function, store the return
value alongside the virtual table, and rewrite each virtual call as a load
from the virtual table.
- Uniform return value optimization: if the conditions for virtual constant
propagation hold and each function returns the same constant value, replace
each virtual call with that constant.
- Unique return value optimization for i1 return values: if the conditions
for virtual constant propagation hold and a single vtable's function
returns 0, or a single vtable's function returns 1, replace each virtual
call with a comparison of the vptr against that vtable's address.
