This enabled opaque pointers by default in LLVM. The effect of this
is twofold:
* If IR that contains *neither* explicit ptr nor %T* types is passed
to tools, we will now use opaque pointer mode, unless
-opaque-pointers=0 has been explicitly passed.
* Users of LLVM as a library will now default to opaque pointers.
It is possible to opt-out by calling setOpaquePointers(false) on
LLVMContext.
A cmake option to toggle this default will not be provided. Frontends
or other tools that want to (temporarily) keep using typed pointers
should disable opaque pointers via LLVMContext.

For a very large module, __llvm_gcov_reset can become very large.
__llvm_gcov_reset previously emitted stores to a bunch of globals in one
huge basic block. MemCpyOpt would turn many of these stores into
memsets, and updating MemorySSA would be extremely slow.
Verified that this makes the compile time of certain files go down
drastically (20min -> 5min).
