The 3-field form was introduced by D3499 in 2014 and the legacy 2-field
form was planned to be removed in LLVM 4.0
For the textual format, this patch migrates the existing 2-field form to
use the 3-field form and deletes the compatibility code.
test/Verifier/global-ctors-2.ll checks we have a friendly error message.
For bitcode, lib/IR/AutoUpgrade UpgradeGlobalVariables will upgrade the
2-field form (add i8* null as the third field).

Summary:
LLVM defaults to the newer .init_array/.fini_array scheme for static
constructors rather than the less desirable .ctors/.dtors (the UseCtors
flag defaults to false). This wasn't being respected in the RISC-V
backend because it fails to call TargetLoweringObjectFileELF::InitializeELF with the the appropriate
flag for UseInitArray.
This patch fixes this by implementing RISCVELFTargetObjectFile and overriding its Initialize method to call
InitializeELF(TM.Options.UseInitArray).
