to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

MaterializationResponsibility.
VModuleKeys are intended to enable selective removal of modules from a JIT
session, however for a wide variety of use cases selective removal is not
needed and introduces unnecessary overhead. As of this commit, the default
constructed VModuleKey value is reserved as a "do not track" value, and
becomes the default when adding a new module to the JIT.
This commit also changes the propagation of VModuleKeys. They were passed
alongside the MaterializationResponsibity instance in XXLayer::emit methods,
but are now propagated as part of the MaterializationResponsibility instance
itself (and as part of MaterializationUnit when stored in a JITDylib).
Associating VModuleKeys with MaterializationUnits in this way should allow
for a thread-safe module removal mechanism in the future, even when a module
is in the process of being compiled, by having the
MaterializationResponsibility object check in on its VModuleKey's state
before commiting its results to the JITDylib.

This commit adds a 'Legacy' prefix to old ORC layers and utilities, and removes
the '2' suffix from the new ORC layers. If you wish to continue using the old
ORC layers you will need to add a 'Legacy' prefix to your classes. If you were
already using the new ORC layers you will need to drop the '2' suffix.
The legacy layers will remain in-tree until the new layers reach feature
parity with them. This will involve adding support for removing code from the
new layers, and ensuring that performance is comperable.

compilation of IR in the JIT.
ThreadSafeContext is a pair of an LLVMContext and a mutex that can be used to
lock that context when it needs to be accessed from multiple threads.
ThreadSafeModule is a pair of a unique_ptr<Module> and a
shared_ptr<ThreadSafeContext>. This allows the lifetime of a ThreadSafeContext
to be managed automatically in terms of the ThreadSafeModules that refer to it:
Once all modules using a ThreadSafeContext are destructed, and providing the
client has not held on to a copy of shared context pointer, the context will be
automatically destructed.
This scheme is necessary due to the following constraits: (1) We need multiple
contexts for multithreaded compilation (at least one per compile thread plus
one to store any IR not currently being compiled, though one context per module
is simpler). (2) We need to free contexts that are no longer being used so that
the JIT does not leak memory over time. (3) Module lifetimes are not
predictable (modules are compiled as needed depending on the flow of JIT'd
code) so there is no single point where contexts could be reclaimed.
JIT clients not using concurrency can safely use one ThreadSafeContext for all
ThreadSafeModules.
JIT clients who want to be able to compile concurrently should use a different
ThreadSafeContext for each module, or call setCloneToNewContextOnEmit on their
top-level IRLayer. The former reduces compile latency (since no clone step is
needed) at the cost of additional memory overhead for uncompiled modules (as
every uncompiled module will duplicate the LLVM types, constants and metadata
that have been shared).
