merging types by name when we can. We still don't guarantee type name linkage
but we do it when obviously the right thing to do. This makes LTO type names
easier to read, for example.

internal nightly testers. Original commit message:
By popular demand, link up types by name if they are isomorphic and one is an
autorenamed version of the other. This makes the IR easier to read, because
we don't end up with random renamed versions of the types after LTO'ing a large
app.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

1. Take a flags argument instead of a bool. This makes
it more clear to the reader what it is used for.
2. Add a flag that says that "remapping a value not in the
map is ok".
3. Reimplement MapValue to share a bunch of code and be a lot
more efficient. For lookup failures, don't drop null values
into the map.
4. Using the new flag a bunch of code can vaporize in LinkModules
and LoopUnswitch, kill it.
No functionality change.

source module *and* it must be merged (instead of simply replaced or appended
to), then merge instead of replacing or adding another global.
The ObjC __image_info section was being appended to because of this
failure. This caused a crash because the linker expects the image info section
to be a specific size.

fix: add a flag to MapValue and friends which indicates whether
any module-level mappings are being made. In the common case of
inlining, no module-level mappings are needed, so MapValue doesn't
need to examine non-function-local metadata, which can be very
expensive in the case of a large module with really deep metadata
(e.g. a large C++ program compiled with -g).
This flag is a little awkward; perhaps eventually it can be moved
into the ClonedCodeInfo class.

which does the same thing. This eliminates redundant code and
handles MDNodes better. MDNode linking still doesn't fully
work yet though.

metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the linker will
remove upon final linkage. For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is
defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
