When computing the module maps, `ThinLTOCodeGenerator` asserts if it
sees duplicating module names. This PR adds a debug print, so that the
list of modules already added can be printed. With this information, one
can identify which modules are causing the duplication.

When enabling WPD in an environment where native binaries are present, types we want to optimize can be derived from inside these native files and devirtualizing them can lead to correctness issues. RTTI can be used as a way to determine all such types in native files and exclude them from WPD providing a safe checked way to enable WPD.
The approach is:
1. In the linker, identify if RTTI is available for all native types. If not, under `--lto-validate-all-vtables-have-type-infos` `--lto-whole-program-visibility` is automatically disabled. This is done by examining all .symtab symbols in object files and .dynsym symbols in DSOs for vtable (_ZTV) and typeinfo (_ZTI) symbols and ensuring there's always a match for every vtable symbol.
2. During thinlink, if `--lto-validate-all-vtables-have-type-infos` is set and RTTI is available for all native types, identify all typename (_ZTS) symbols via their corresponding typeinfo (_ZTI) symbols that are used natively or outside of our summary and exclude them from WPD.
Testing:
ninja check-all
large Meta service that uses boost, glog and libstdc++.so runs successfully with WPD via --lto-whole-program-visibility. Previously, native types in boost caused incorrect devirtualization that led to crashes.

The module paths string table mapped to both an id sequentially assigned
during LTO linking, and the module hash. The former is leftover from
before the module hash was added for caching and subsequently replaced
use of the module id when renaming promoted symbols (to avoid affects
due to link order changes). The sequentially assigned module id was not
removed, however, as it was still a convenience when serializing to/from
bitcode and assembly.
This patch removes the module id from this table, since it isn't
strictly needed and can lead to confusion on when it is appropriate to
use (e.g. see fix in D156525). It also takes a (likely not significant)
amount of overhead. Where an integer module id is needed (e.g. bitcode
writing), one is assigned on the fly.
There are a couple of test changes since the paths are now sorted
alphanumerically when assigning ids on the fly during assembly writing,
in order to ensure deterministic behavior.

The import/export maps, and the ModuleToDefinedGVSummaries map, are all
indexed by module paths, which are StringRef obtained from the module
summary index, which already has a data structure than owns these
strings (the ModulePathStringTable). Because these other maps are also
StringMap, which makes a copy of the string key, we were keeping
multiple extra copies of the module paths, leading to memory overhead.
Change these to DenseMap keyed by StringRef, and document that the
strings are owned by the index.
The only exception is the llvm-link tool which synthesizes an import list
from command line options, and I have added a string cache to maintain
ownership there.
I measured around 5% memory reduction in the thin link of a large
binary.

SubtargetFeature.h is currently part of MC while it doesn't depend on
anything in MC. Since some LLVM components might have the need to work
with target features without necessarily needing MC, it might be
worthwhile to move SubtargetFeature.h to a different location. This will
reduce the dependencies of said components.
Note that I choose TargetParser as the destination because that's where
Triple lives and SubtargetFeatures feels related to that.
This issues came up during a JITLink review (D149522). JITLink would
like to avoid a dependency on MC while still needing to store target

A specific case for ThinLTO cache pruning is that the current build is huge, and the cache wasn't big enough to hold the intermediate object files of that build. So in doing that build, a file would be cached, and later in that same build it would be evicted. This was significantly decreasing the effectiveness of the cache. By giving this warning, the user could identify the required cache size/files and improve ThinLTO link speed.

Turning on opaque pointers has uncovered an issue with WPD where we currently pattern match away `assume(type.test)` in WPD so that a later LTT doesn't resolve the type test to undef and introduce an `assume(false)`. The pattern matching can fail in cases where we transform two `assume(type.test)`s into `assume(phi(type.test.1, type.test.2))`.
Currently we create `assume(type.test)` for all virtual calls that might be devirtualized. This is to support `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility`.
To prevent this, all virtual calls that may not be in the same LTO module instead use a new `llvm.public.type.test` intrinsic in place of the `llvm.type.test`. Then when we know if `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility` is passed or not, we can either replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `llvm.type.test`, or replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `true`. This prevents WPD from trying to pattern match away `assume(type.test)` for public virtual calls when failing the pattern matching will result in miscompiles.

Most of `MemoryBuffer` interfaces expose a `RequiresNullTerminator` parameter that's being used to:
* determine how to open a file (`mmap` vs `open`),
* assert newly initialized buffer indeed has an implicit null terminator.
This patch adds the paramater to the `SmallVectorMemoryBuffer` constructors, meaning:
* null terminator can now be added to `SmallVector`s that didn't have one before,
* `SmallVectors` that had a null terminator before keep it even after the move.
In line with existing code, the new parameter is defaulted to `true`. This patch makes sure all calls to the `SmallVectorMemoryBuffer` constructor set it to `false` to preserve the current semantics.

As described on D111049, we're trying to remove the <string> dependency from error handling and replace uses of report_fatal_error(const std::string&) with the Twine() variant which can be forward declared.
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)

Clang self-build passes and 2nd stage build passes check-all
ninja check-all with newly added tests passing

is stronger than GVFlags::DSOLocal because the implied dso_local can be

All these potential null pointer dereferences are reported by my static analyzer for null smart pointer dereferences, which has a different implementation from `alpha.cplusplus.SmartPtr`.
The checked pointers in this patch are initialized by Target::createXXX functions. When the creator function pointer is not correctly set, a null pointer will be returned, or the creator function may originally return a null pointer.
Some of them may not make sense as they may be checked before entering the function, but I fixed them all in this patch. I submit this fix because 1) similar checks are found in some other places in the LLVM codebase for the same return value of the function; and, 2) some of the pointers are dereferenced before they are checked, which may definitely trigger a null pointer dereference if the return value is nullptr.

This reverts 9b5b3050237db3642ed7ab1bdb3ffa2202511b99 and fixes the unwanted re-ordering when generating ThinLTO indexes.
The goal of this patch is to better balance thread utilization during ThinLTO in-process linking (in llvm-lto2 or in LLD). Before this patch, large modules would often be scheduled late during execution, taking a long time to complete, thus starving the thread pool.
We now sort modules in descending order, based on each module's bitcode size, so that larger modules are processed first. By doing so, smaller modules have a better chance to keep the thread pool active, and thus avoid starvation when the bitcode compilation is almost complete.
In our case (on dual Intel Xeon Gold 6140, Windows 10 version 2004, two-stage build), this saves 15 sec when linking `clang.exe` with LLD & -flto=thin, /opt:lldltojobs=all, no ThinLTO cache, -DLLVM_INTEGRATED_CRT_ALLOC=d:\git\rpmalloc.

Re-use an optimizition from the old LTO API (used by ld64).

If the linkage is changed to available_externally, the dso_local flag should be dropped, so that no

The current behavior is benign, because -fpic does not assume dso_local
(clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp:shouldAssumeDSOLocal).
