the bitcode has the arm64 retainAutoreleasedReturnValue marker
The ARC middle-end passes stopped optimizing or transforming bitcode
that has been compiled with old compilers after we started emitting
calls to ARC runtime functions as intrinsic calls instead of normal
function calls in the front-end and made changes to teach the ARC
middle-end passes about those intrinsics (see r349534). This patch
converts calls to ARC runtime functions that are not intrinsic functions
to intrinsic function calls if the bitcode has the arm64
retainAutoreleasedReturnValue marker. Checking for the presence of the
marker is necessary to make sure we aren't changing ARC function calls
that were originally MRR message sends (see r349952).

Summary:
In r349534, objc arc implementation is switched to use intrinsics and at
the same time, clang.arc.use is renamed to llvm.objc.clang.arc.use to
make the naming more consistent. The side-effect of that is llvm no
longer recognize it as intrinsics and codegen external references to
it instead.
Rather than upgrade the old intrinsics name to the new one and wait for
the arc-contract pass to remove it, simply remove it in the bitcode
upgrader.
