The linker will call `lto_codegen_add_must_preserve_symbol' on all globals that
should be kept around. The linker will pretend that a dylib is being created.

This function sets the `_exportDynamic' ivar. When that's set, we export all
symbols (e.g. we don't run the internalize pass). This is equivalent to the
`--export-dynamic' linker flag in GNU land:
--export-dynamic
When creating a dynamically linked executable, add all symbols to the dynamic
symbol table. The dynamic symbol table is the set of symbols which are visible
from dynamic objects at run time. If you do not use this option, the dynamic
symbol table will normally contain only those symbols which are referenced by
some dynamic object mentioned in the link. If you use dlopen to load a dynamic
object which needs to refer back to the symbols defined by the program, rather
than some other dynamic object, then you will probably need to use this option
when linking the program itself.
The Darwin linker will support this via the `-export_dynamic' flag. We should
modify clang to support this via the `-rdynamic' flag.

Again, tools are trickier to pick the main module header for than
library source files. I've started to follow the pattern of using
LLVMContext.h when it is included as a stub for program source files.

There are some that I didn't remove this round because they looked like
obvious stubs. There are dead variables in gtest too, they should be
fixed upstream.

so we don't want it to show up in the stable 3.1 interface.
While at it, add a comment about why LTOCodeGenerator manually creates the
internalize pass.

The result produced by the streamer is used to give the linker more accurate
information and to add to llvm.compiler.used. The second improvement removes
the need for the user to add __attribute__((used)) to functions only used in
inline asm. The first one lets us build firefox with LTO on Darwin :-)

This makes it possible to unregister the file from FilesToRemove when
the file is done. Also, this eliminates the need for
formatted_tool_output_file.

Add lto_codegen_set_assembler_path() API which allows the linker to specify the
path to the assembler tool to run. When assembler is used (instead of compiler)
different command line options are used.
Add LTO_API_VERSION #define so clients (linkers) can conditionalize use of new APIs.

run when assembling.
Wire this up to the gold plugin. You can now pass --plugin-opt gcc=/foo/bar/gcc
and it will run that gcc instead of looking for it on the path.
