Sean Silva 1eab30dc17 docs: Nuke the old release notes.
This change also removes a bunch of boilerplate and stuffing which made
it unnecessarily hard to navigate and see the comparatively miniscule
actual content that was added to this document during the 3.2
development period (or maybe even sticking around from earlier
releases...).

The new organization (a flat list) optimizes for making it easy for
people who know about changes to add them to the document.  It's
completely trivial for anyone with basic knowledge of LLVM to come in
later (such as when preparing for the actual release) and cluster any
changes into logical groups. However, I have left some comments
indicating how to add larger descriptions, if someone is feeling
adventurous ;)

Hopefully this organization will highlight how little effort is being
put into producing accurate, high-quality release notes, prompting a
corresponding improvement for the 3.3 release.

I have preserved the changes to this document that are not present
in the 3.2 release notes. There were only two... I'm pretty sure we've
been busier than that... (version control shows +213347/-173656 raw
lines just in the LLVM repo since the 3.2 release).

Daniel Dunbar 8a81c24312 [Linker] Drop support for IR-level extended linking support (archives, etc.).
- This code is dead, and the "right" way to get this support is to use the
   platform-specific linker-integrated LTO mechanisms, or the forthcoming LLVM
   linker.

Chandler Carruth 58b3cb6cc2 The CellSPU backend is more than experimental, it's dead now...

Chandler Carruth 1e83227942 Remove a section that was in 3.1's notes.
Just give a shout if this was actually still important....

Chandler Carruth 108d19e6b5 Add a rough draft of some content about the new SROA. I'll try to proof
read this and clean it up tomorrow, but hopefully it's a good
placeholder.

Chandler Carruth b745ac48a6 Delete a long-stale "if its ready" comment. All indications is that this
will look a bit different when we have time to get it ready to turn on,
and we won't likely need this reminder.

Chandler Carruth ec86541e9f Provide some actual highlight bullets for Clang.
If anyone has better highlights (I'm obviously biased by the things that
I'm excited about) jump in and add them!
