1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.

non-statics.
* Introduce new option to output zero-initialized data to .bss section.
This can reduce size of binaries. Enable it by default for ELF &
Cygwin/Mingw targets. Probably, Darwin should be also added.

* PIC-aware internal structures in X86 Codegen have been refactored
* Visibility (default/weak) has been added
* Docs fixes (external weak linkage, visibility, formatting)

- New target type "mingw" was introduced
- Same things for both mingw & cygwin are marked as "cygming" (as in
gcc)
- .lcomm is supported here, so allow LLVM to use it
- Correctly use underscored versions of setjmp & _longjmp for both mingw
& cygwin

2. Added partial debug support for mingw\cygwin targets (the same as
Linux\ELF). Please note, that currently mingw\cygwin uses 'stabs' format
for storing debug info by default, thus many (runtime) libraries has
this information included. These formats shouldn't be mixed in one binary
('stabs' & 'DWARF'), otherwise binutils tools will be confused.

Added workaround for linker bug with linkonce sections.
Changed sections prefix to allow linker merge them
(PE loader doesn't like too much long-named sections :) )
All of this unbreaks libstdc++ on mingw32 allowing (small)
programs to be compiled, linked and run.

DLL* linkages got full (I hope) codegeneration support in C & both x86
assembler backends.
External weak linkage added for future use, we don't provide any
codegeneration, etc. support for it.
