The casting based reading of the LSDA could attempt to read unsuitably aligned
data. Avoid that case by explicitly using a memcpy. A similar approach is used
in libc++abi to address the same UB.

Rather than redeclaring the interfaces for exceptions, prefer using the
`unwind.h` header. This is vended by at least gcc and clang, and can also be
found by an external unwinding library (e.g. libunwind). Doing this simplifies
the example to the exception handling itself. Minor tweaks are the result of
_Unwind_Context_t not being defined, which is just a typedef for struct
_Unwind_Context *. NFC.

(1) Add support for function key negotiation.
The previous version of the RPC required both sides to maintain the same
enumeration for functions in the API. This means that any version skew between
the client and server would result in communication failure.
With this version of the patch functions (and serializable types) are defined
with string names, and the derived function signature strings are used to
negotiate the actual function keys (which are used for efficient call
serialization). This allows clients to connect to any server that supports a
superset of the API (based on the function signatures it supports).
(2) Add a callAsync primitive.
The callAsync primitive can be used to install a return value handler that will
run as soon as the RPC function's return value is sent back from the remote.
(3) Launch policies for RPC function handlers.
The new addHandler method, which installs handlers for RPC functions, takes two
arguments: (1) the handler itself, and (2) an optional "launch policy". When the
RPC function is called, the launch policy (if present) is invoked to actually
launch the handler. This allows the handler to be spawned on a background
thread, or added to a work list. If no launch policy is used, the handler is run
on the server thread itself. This should only be used for short-running
handlers, or entirely synchronous RPC APIs.
(4) Zero cost cross type serialization.
You can now define serialization from any type to a different "wire" type. For
example, this allows you to call an RPC function that's defined to take a
std::string while passing a StringRef argument. If a serializer from StringRef
to std::string has been defined for the channel type this will be used to
serialize the argument without having to construct a std::string instance.
This allows buffer reference types to be used as arguments to RPC calls without
requiring a copy of the buffer to be made.

Chapter 5.
Chapter 5 demonstrates remote JITing: code is executed on the remote, not the
machine running the REPL, so it's the remote's triple (and TargetMachine) that
we need.

This essentially reverts r251936, minimizing the difference between Chapter2
and Chapter 3, and making Chapter 2's code match the tutorial text.

This patch replaces RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo with JITSymbol: A symbol class
that is capable of lazy materialization (i.e. the symbol definition needn't be
emitted until the address is requested). This can be used to support common
and weak symbols in the JIT (though this is not implemented in this patch).
For consistency, RuntimeDyld::SymbolResolver is renamed to JITSymbolResolver.
For space efficiency a new class, JITEvaluatedSymbol, is introduced that
behaves like the old RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo - i.e. it is just a pair of an
address and symbol flags. Instances of JITEvaluatedSymbol can be used in
symbol-tables to avoid paying the space cost of the materializer.

This new chapter describes compiling LLVM IR to object files.
The new chaper is chapter 8, so later chapters have been renumbered.
Since this brings us to 10 chapters total, I've also needed to rename
the other chapters to use two digit numbering.

MCJIT will now set the DataLayout on a module when it is added to the JIT,
rather than waiting until it is codegen'd, and the runFunction method will
finalize the module containing the function to be run before running it.
The fibonacci example has been updated to include and link against MCJIT.

This tidies up some code that was manually constructing RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo
instances from JITSymbols. It will save more mess in the future when
JITSymbol::getAddress is extended to return an Expected<TargetAddress> rather
than just a TargetAddress, since we'll be able to embed the error checking in
the conversion.

This chapter demonstrates lazily JITing from ASTs with the expressions being
executed on a remote machine via a TCP connection. It needs some polish, but is
substantially complete.
Currently x86-64 SysV ABI (Darwin and Linux) only, but other architectures
can be supported by changing the server code to use alternative ABI support
classes from llvm/include/llvm/ExecutionEngine/Orc/OrcABISupport.h.

Symbol resolution should be done on the top layer of the stack unless there's a
good reason to do otherwise. In this case it would have worked because
OptimizeLayer::addModuleSet eagerly passes all modules down to the
CompileLayer, meaning that searches in CompileLayer will find the definitions.
In later chapters where the top layer's addModuleSet isn't a pass-through, this
would break.

This is a work in progress - the chapter text is incomplete, though
the example code compiles and runs.
Feedback and patches are, as usual, most welcome.

If TheModule is declared before LLVMContext then it will be destructed after it,
crashing when it tries to deregister itself from the destructed context.

At the same time, fixes InstructionsTest::CastInst unittest: yes
you can leave the IR in an invalid state and exit when you don't
destroy the context (like the global one), no longer now.

This keeps the naming consistent with Chapters 6-8, where Error was renamed to
LogError in r264426 to avoid clashes with the new Error class in libSupport.

Summary:
This patch is provided in preparation for removing autoconf on 1/26. The proposal to remove autoconf on 1/26 was discussed on the llvm-dev thread here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-January/093875.html
