The motivating use case is to support import the function declaration
across modules to construct call graph edges for indirect calls [1]
when importing the function definition costs too much compile time
(e.g., the function is too large has no `noinline` attribute).
1. Currently, when the compiled IR module doesn't have a function
definition but its postlink combined summary contains the function
summary or a global alias summary with this function as aliasee, the
function definition will be imported from source module by IRMover. The
implementation is in FunctionImporter::importFunctions [2]
2. In order for FunctionImporter to import a declaration of a function,
both function summary and alias summary need to carry the def / decl
state. Specifically, all existing summary fields doesn't differ across
import modules, but the def / decl state of is decided by
`<ImportModule, Function>`.
This change encodes the def/decl state in `GlobalValueSummary::GVFlags`.
In the subsequent changes
1. The indexing step `computeImportForModule` [3]
will compute the set of definitions and the set of declarations for each
module, and passing on the information to bitcode writer.
2. Bitcode writer will look up the def/decl state and sets the state
when it writes out the flag value. This is demonstrated in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/87600
3. Function importer will read the def/decl state when reading the
combined summary to figure out two sets of global values, and IRMover
will be updated to import the declaration (aka linkGlobalValuePrototype [4])
into the destination module.

Explicitly call `LLVMContext::setOpaquePointers` in `CodeGenAction`
before loading any IR files. With this we use the mode specified on the
command-line rather than lazily initializing it based on the contents of
the IR.
This helps when using `-fthinlto-index` which may end up mixing files
with typed and opaque pointer types which fails when the first file
happened to use typed pointers since we cannot downgrade IR with opaque
pointer types to typed pointer types.

Thinlink provides an opportunity to propagate function attributes across modules, enabling additional propagation opportunities.
This change propagates (currently default off, turn on with `disable-thinlto-funcattrs=1`) noRecurse and noUnwind based off of function summaries of the prevailing functions in bottom-up call-graph order. Testing on clang self-build:
1. There's a 35-40% increase in noUnwind functions due to the additional propagation opportunities.
2. Throughput is measured at 10-15% increase in thinlink time which itself is 1.5% of E2E link time.
Implementation-wise this adds the following summary function attributes:
1. noUnwind: function is noUnwind
2. mayThrow: function contains a non-call instruction that `Instruction::mayThrow` returns true on (e.g. windows SEH instructions)
3. hasUnknownCall: function contains calls that don't make it into the summary call-graph thus should not be propagated from (e.g. indirect for now, could add no-opt functions as well)
Testing:
Clang self-build passes and 2nd stage build passes check-all
ninja check-all with newly added tests passing

Previously this option could be used to skip devirtualizations of the
given functions in regular LTO and in the ThinLTO indexing step. This
change allows them to be skipped in the backend as well, which is useful
when debugging WPD in a distributed ThinLTO backend.

This restores 59733525d37cf9ad88b5021b33ecdbaf2e18911c (D71913), along
with bot fix 19c76989bb505c3117730c47df85fd3800ea2767.
The bot failure should be fixed by D73418, committed as
af954e441a5170a75687699d91d85e0692929d43.
I also added a fix for non-x86 bot failures by requiring x86 in new test

Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

Summary:
The opt level was not being passed down to the ThinLTO backend when
invoked via clang (for distributed ThinLTO).
This exposed an issue where the new PM was asserting if the Thin or
regular LTO backend pipelines were invoked with -O0 (not a new issue,
could be provoked by invoking in-process *LTO backends via linker using
new PM and -O0). Fix this similar to the old PM where -O0 only does the
necessary lowering of type metadata (WPD and LowerTypeTest passes) and
then quits, rather than asserting.

Summary:
Adds a new -f[no]split-lto-unit flag that is disabled by default to
control module splitting during ThinLTO. It is automatically enabled
for -fsanitize=cfi and -fwhole-program-vtables.
The new EnableSplitLTOUnit codegen flag is passed down to llvm
via a new module flag of the same name.
