This patch introduces reduced BMI, which doesn't contain the definitions
of functions and variables if its definitions won't contribute to the
ABI.
Testing is a big part of the patch. We want to make sure the reduced BMI
contains the same behavior with the existing and relatively stable
fatBMI. This is pretty helpful for further reduction.
The user interfaces part it left to following patches to ease the
reviewing.

There are two linkage modes in clang now: one for internal linkage and
one for formal linkage. The internal linkage is for the implementation
details and the formal linkage is for the consistency with the C++
standard.
Since we previously implemented the strong ownership for modules, the
module linkage is not meaningful for linkers any more. So the module
linkage should only be used for formal linkage.
