optimizations when emitting calls to the function; instead those calls may
use faster relocations which require the function to be immediately resolved
upon loading the dynamic object featuring the call. This is useful when it
is known that the function will be called frequently and pervasively and
therefore there is no merit in delaying binding of the function.
Currently only implemented for x86-64, where it turns into a call through
the global offset table.
Patch by Dan Gohman, who assures me that he's going to add LangRef documentation
for this once it's committed.

Unfortunately we can't follow what the rest of the language does (wrapping it
in double-quotes) because that would cause an ambiguity with metadata strings,
so instead we escape any unusual characters with \xx escaping.

Added asserts whenever attempting to use a potentially
uninitialized pass. This helps people trying to develop a new pass and
people trying to understand the bug reports filed by the former people.

than either the primitive size or the element primitive size (in the case
of vectors), simplify the vector logic. No functionality change. There
is some distracting churn in the patch because I lined up comments better
while there - sorry about that.

happily accept things like "sext <2 x i32> to <999 x i64>". It would
also accept "sext <2 x i32> to i64", though the verifier would catch
that later. Fixed by having castIsValid check that vector lengths match
except when doing a bitcast. (2) When creating a cast instruction, check
that the cast is valid (this was already done when creating constexpr
casts). While there, replace getScalarSizeInBits (used to allow more
vector casts) with getPrimitiveSizeInBits in getCastOpcode and isCastable
since vector to vector casts are now handled explicitly by passing to the
element types; i.e. this bit should result in no functional change.

can be used to turn a <4 x i64> into a <4 x i32> but getCastOpcode would assert
if you passed these types to it. Note that this strictly extends the previous
functionality: if getCastOpcode previously accepted two vector types (i.e. didn't
assert) then it still will and returns the same opcode (BitCast). That's because
before it would only accept vectors with the same bitwidth, and the new code only
touches vectors with the same length. However if two vectors have both the same
bitwidth and the same length then their element types have the same bitwidth, so
the new logic will return BitCast as before.

Still to do:
- Allow replacing / removing passes (infrastructure there, just needs an infrastructure exposed)
- Defining sets of passes to be added or removed as a group
- Extending the support to allow user-defined groups of optimisations
- Allow plugins to be specified for loading automatically (e.g. from plugins.conf or some similar mechanism)

Now that we have a first-class way to represent unaligned loads, the unaligned
load intrinsics are superfluous.
