1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.

This is the final patch for this PR. It implements some minor cleanup
in the use of IntegerType, to wit:
1. Type::getIntegerTypeMask -> IntegerType::getBitMask
2. Type::Int*Ty changed to IntegerType* from Type*
3. ConstantInt::getType() returns IntegerType* now, not Type*
This also fixes PR1120.
Patch by Sheng Zhou.

Three changes:
1. Convert signed integer types to signless versions.
2. Implement the @sext and @zext parameter attributes. Previously the
type of an function parameter was used to determine whether it should
be sign extended or zero extended before the call. This information is
now communicated via the function type's parameter attributes.
3. The interface to LowerCallTo had to be changed in order to accommodate
the parameter attribute information. Although it would have been
convenient to pass in the FunctionType itself, there isn't always one
present in the caller. Consequently, a signedness indication for the
result type and for each parameter was provided for in the interface
to this method. All implementations were changed to make the adjustment
necessary.

its expansion result type is equal to the result type of the bit_convert,
e.g. (i64 bit_convert (f64 op)) if FP is not legal
returns the result of the expanded source operand.
- Store f32 / f64 may be expanded to a single store i32/i64.
