This fixes pr28072.
The point, as Duncan pointed out, is that the file is already
partially linked by just reading it.
Long term I think the solution is to make metadata owned by the module
and then the linker will lazily read it and be in charge of all the
linking. Running a verifier in each input will defeat the lazy
loading, but will be legal.
Right now we are at the unfortunate position that to support odr
merging we cannot verify the inputs, which mildly annoying (see test
update).

Unify the error messages for the various tools when `verifyModule()`
fails on an input module. The "brave new way" is:
lltool: path/to/input.ll: error: input module is broken!
llvm-svn: 233667
Otherwise, broken input modules can cause assertions. I've updated two
of the testcases that started failing (modules that had `Require` flags
but didn't meet their own requirements), but Rafael and I decided that
test/Linker/2011-08-22-ResolveAlias.ll should just be deleted outright
-- it's a leftover of the way llvm-gcc used to implement weakref.
