Summary:
The patch moves the shortenInstructions and nop remove to separate binary
passes. As a result when llvm-bolt optimizations stage will begin the
instructions of the binary functions will be absolutely the same as it
was in the binary. This is needed for the golang support by llvm-bolt.
Some of the tests must be changed, since bb alignment nops might create
unreachable BBs in original functions.

Summary:
Gracefully handle binaries with split functions where two fragments are folded
into one, resulting in a fragment with two parent functions.
This behavior is expected in GCC8+ with -O2 optimization level, where both
function splitting and ICF are enabled by default.
On the BOLT side, the changes are:
- BinaryFunction: allow multiple parent fragments:
- `ParentFragment` --> `ParentFragments`,
- `setParentFragment` --> `addParentFragment`.
- BinaryContext:
- `populateJumpTables`: mark fragments to be skipped later,
- `registerFragment`: add a name heuristic check, return false if it failed,
- `processInterproceduralReferences`: check if `registerFragment`
succeeded, otherwise issue a warning,
- `skipMarkedFragments`: move out fragment traversal and skipping from
`populateJumpTables` into a separate function.
This change fixes an issue where unrelated functions might be registered
as fragments:
```
BOLT-WARNING: interprocedural reference between unrelated fragments:
bad_gs/1(*2) and amd_decode_mce.cold.27/1(*2)
```

Summary:
Switched members of BinaryFunction to ADT where it was possible and
made sense. As a result, the size of BinaryFunction on x86-64 Linux
reduced from 1624 bytes to 1448.

Summary:
The debug message for the last fall-through block was printed under the
reverse condition, i.e. when the block was not a fall-through. Remove
the debug message. If we'll need such information, we can add a pass
with more analysis, i.e. checking the last instruction, if the block is
reachable, etc.

Summary:
Make BOLT build in VisualStudio compiler and run without
crashing on a simple test. Other tests are not running.

Summary:
Moves source files into separate components, and make explicit
component dependency on each other, so LLVM build system knows how to
build BOLT in BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
Please use the -c merge.renamelimit=230 git option when rebasing your
work on top of this change.
To achieve this, we create a new library to hold core IR files (most
classes beginning with Binary in their names), a new library to hold
Utils, some command line options shared across both RewriteInstance
and core IR files, a new library called Rewrite to hold most classes
concerned with running top-level functions coordinating the binary
rewriting process, and a new library called Profile to hold classes
dealing with profile reading and writing.
To remove the dependency from BinaryContext into X86-specific classes,
we do some refactoring on the BinaryContext constructor to receive a
reference to the specific backend directly from RewriteInstance. Then,
the dependency on X86 or AArch64-specific classes is transfered to the
Rewrite library. We can't have the Core library depend on targets
because targets depend on Core (which would create a cycle).
Files implementing the entry point of a tool are transferred to the
tools/ folder. All header files are transferred to the include/
folder. The src/ folder was renamed to lib/.
