include PR3517, PR3100, & PR2933. Nothing uses this yet, but it
appears to work.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

well as 2 files that use "Registrator"s. These are to be used by the
MSVC builds, as the Win32 linker does not include libs that are
otherwise unreferenced, even if global constructors in the lib have
side-effects.

instead of requiring all "short description" strings to begin with
two spaces. This makes these strings less mysterious, and it fixes
some cases where short description strings mistakenly did not
begin with two spaces.

This sets the stage
- to implement function notes as function attributes and
- to distinguish between function attributes and return value attributes.
This requires corresponding changes in llvm-gcc and clang.

In particular, Collector was confusing to implementors. Several
thought that this compile-time class was the place to implement
their runtime GC heap. Of course, it doesn't even exist at runtime.
Specifically, the renames are:
Collector -> GCStrategy
CollectorMetadata -> GCFunctionInfo
CollectorModuleMetadata -> GCModuleInfo
CollectorRegistry -> GCRegistry
Function::getCollector -> getGC (setGC, hasGC, clearGC)
Several accessors and nested types have also been renamed to be
consistent. These changes should be obvious.

returning an std::string by value, it fills in a SmallString/SmallVector
passed in. This significantly reduces string thrashing in some cases.
More specifically, this:
- Adds an operator<< and a print method for APInt that allows you to
directly send them to an ostream.
- Reimplements APInt::toString to be much simpler and more efficient
algorithmically in addition to not thrashing strings quite as much.
This speeds up llvm-dis on kc++ by 7%, and may also slightly speed up the
asmprinter. This also fixes a bug I introduced into the asmwriter in a
previous patch w.r.t. alias printing.

are represented as "weak", but there are subtle differences
in some cases on Darwin, so we need both. The intent
is that "common" will behave identically to "weak" unless
somebody changes their target to do something else.
No functional change as yet.
