This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.
The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

- lit tests verify that each line of input LLVM IR gets a !dbg node and a
corresponding entry of metadata that contains the line number
- unit tests verify that DebugIR works as advertised in the interface
- refactored some useful IR generation functionality from the MCJIT unit tests
so it can be reused

Makefiles, the CMake files in every other part of the LLVM tree, and
sanity.
This should also restore the output tree structure of all the unit
tests, sorry for breaking that, and thanks for letting me know.
The fundamental change is to put a CMakeLists.txt file in the unittest
directory, with a single test binary produced from it. This has several
advantages:
- No more weird directory stripping in the unittest macro, allowing it
to be used more readily in other projects.
- No more directory prefixes on all the source files.
- Allows correct and precise use of LLVM's per-directory dependency
system.
- Allows use of the checking logic for source files that have not been
added to the CMake build. This uncovered a file being skipped with
CMake in LLVM and one in Clang's unit tests.
- Makes Specifying conditional compilation or other custom logic for JIT
tests easier.
It did require adding the concept of an explicit 'optional' source file
to the CMake build so that the missing-file check can skip cases where
the file is *supposed* to be missing. =]
This is another chunk of refactoring the CMake build in order to make it
usable for other clients like CompilerRT / ASan / TSan.
Note that this is interdependent with a Clang CMake change.
