MSVC always places the implicit sret parameter after the implicit this
parameter of instance methods. We used to handle this for
x86_thiscallcc by allocating the sret parameter on the stack and leaving
the this pointer in ecx, but that doesn't handle alternative calling
conventions like cdecl, stdcall, fastcall, or the win64 convention.
Instead, change the verifier to allow sret on the second parameter.
This also requires changing the Mips and X86 backends to return the
argument with the sret parameter, instead of assuming that the sret
parameter comes first.
The Sparc backend also returns sret parameters in a register, but I
wasn't able to update it to handle secondary sret parameters. It
currently calls report_fatal_error if you feed it an sret in the second
parameter.

It affected callee's stack pop in x86. It is one of devergences between cygwin and mingw since mingw-gcc-4.6.
Added testcases to llvm/test/CodeGen/X86/win32_sret.ll for cygwin.

I couldn't see how to do this sanely without splitting RETQ from RETL.
Eric says: "sad about the inability to roundtrip them now, but...".
I have no idea what that means, but perhaps it wants preserving in the
commit comment.

Unlike msvc, when handling a thiscall + sret gcc will
* Put the sret in %ecx
* Put the this pointer is (%esp)
This fixes, for example, calling stringstream::str.
