This makes the 'verifyFunction' and 'verifyModule' functions totally
independent operations on the LLVM IR. It also cleans up their API a bit
by lifting the abort behavior into their clients and just using an
optional raw_ostream parameter to control printing.
The implementation of the verifier is now just an InstVisitor with no
multiple inheritance. It also is significantly more const-correct, and
hides the const violations internally. The two layers that force us to
break const correctness are building a DomTree and dispatching through
the InstVisitor.
A new VerifierPass is used to implement the legacy pass manager
interface in terms of the other pieces.
The error messages produced may be slightly different now, and we may
have slightly different short circuiting behavior with different usage
models of the verifier, but generally everything works equivalently and
this unblocks wiring the verifier up to the new pass manager.

directory. These passes are already defined in the IR library, and it
doesn't make any sense to have the headers in Analysis.
Long term, I think there is going to be a much better way to divide
these matters. The dominators code should be fully separated into the
abstract graph algorithm and have that put in Support where it becomes
obvious that evn Clang's CFGBlock's can use it. Then the verifier can
manually construct dominance information from the Support-driven
interface while the Analysis library can provide a pass which both
caches, reconstructs, and supports a nice update API.
But those are very long term, and so I don't want to leave the really
confusing structure until that day arrives.

The function verifyFunction() in lib/IR/Verifier.cpp misses some
calls. It creates a temporary FunctionPassManager that will run a
single Verifier pass. Unfortunately, FunctionPassManager is no
PassManager and does not call doInitialization() and doFinalization()
by itself. Verifier does important tasks in doInitialization() such as
collecting type information used to check DebugInfo metadata and
doFinalization() does some additional checks. Therefore these checks
were missed and debug info couldn't be verified at all, it just
crashed if the function had some.
verifyFunction() is currently not used in llvm unless -debug option is
enabled, and in unittests/IR/VerifierTest.cpp
VerifierTest had to be changed to create the function in a module from
which the type debug info can be collected.
