variables should have that linkage. Otherwise, its static local
variables should have internal linkage. To avoid computing this excessively,
set a function's linkage before we emit code for it.
Previously we were assigning weak linkage to the static variables of
static inline functions in C++, with predictably terrible results. This
fixes that and also gives better linkage than 'weak' when merging is required.

not make copies non-POD arguments or arguments passed by reference:
just copy the pointers directly. This eliminates another source of the
dreaded memcpy-of-non-PODs. Fixes PR7188.

class type (that uses a return slot), pass the return slot to the
callee directly rather than allocating new storage and trying to copy
the object. This appears to have been the cause of the remaining two
Boost.Interprocess failures.

"used" (e.g., we will refer to the vtable in the generated code) and
when they are defined (i.e., because we've seen the key function
definition). Previously, we were effectively tracking "potential
definitions" rather than uses, so we were a bit too eager about emitting
vtables for classes without key functions.
The new scheme:
- For every use of a vtable, Sema calls MarkVTableUsed() to indicate
the use. For example, this occurs when calling a virtual member
function of the class, defining a constructor of that class type,
dynamic_cast'ing from that type to a derived class, casting
to/through a virtual base class, etc.
- For every definition of a vtable, Sema calls MarkVTableUsed() to
indicate the definition. This happens at the end of the translation
unit for classes whose key function has been defined (so we can
delay computation of the key function; see PR6564), and will also
occur with explicit template instantiation definitions.
- For every vtable defined/used, we mark all of the virtual member
functions of that vtable as defined/used, unless we know that the key
function is in another translation unit. This instantiates virtual
member functions when needed.
- At the end of the translation unit, Sema tells CodeGen (via the
ASTConsumer) which vtables must be defined (CodeGen will define
them) and which may be used (for which CodeGen will define the
vtables lazily).
From a language perspective, both the old and the new schemes are
permissible: we're allowed to instantiate virtual member functions
whenever we want per the standard. However, all other C++ compilers
were more lazy than we were, and our eagerness was both a performance
issue (we instantiated too much) and a portability problem (we broke
Boost test cases, which now pass).
Notes:
(1) There's a ton of churn in the tests, because the order in which
vtables get emitted to IR has changed. I've tried to isolate some of
the larger tests from these issues.
(2) Some diagnostics related to
implicitly-instantiated/implicitly-defined virtual member functions
have moved to the point of first use/definition. It's better this
way.
(3) I could use a review of the places where we MarkVTableUsed, to
see if I missed any place where the language effectively requires a
vtable.
Fixes PR7114 and PR6564.

function attributes like byval get applied to the function
definition. This fixes PR7058 and makes i386 llvm/clang bootstrap
pass all the same tests as x86-64 bootstrap for me (the llvmc
tests still fail in both).
