Rafael Espindola 6a86e25d90 Pass a reference to a module to the bitcode writer.
This simplifies most callers as they are already using references or
std::unique_ptr.

Peter Collingbourne a0f371a106 Bitcode: Add a string table to the bitcode format.
Add a top-level STRTAB block containing a string table blob, and start storing
strings for module codes FUNCTION, GLOBALVAR, ALIAS, IFUNC and COMDAT in
the string table.

This change allows us to share names between globals and comdats as well
as between modules, and improves the efficiency of loading bitcode files by
no longer using a bit encoding for symbol names. Once we start writing the
irsymtab to the bitcode file we will also be able to share strings between
it and the module.

On my machine, link time for Chromium for Linux with ThinLTO decreases by
about 7% for no-op incremental builds or about 1% for full builds. Total
bitcode file size decreases by about 3%.

Peter Collingbourne 5a0a2e648c Bitcode: Introduce BitcodeWriter interface.
This interface allows clients to write multiple modules to a single
bitcode file. Also introduce the llvm-cat utility which can be used
to create a bitcode file containing multiple modules.
