Always read bitcode according to the -opaque-pointers mode. Do not
perform auto-detection to implicitly switch to typed pointers.
This is a step towards removing typed pointer support, and also
eliminates the class of problems where linking may fail if a typed
pointer module is loaded before an opaque pointer module. (The
latest place where this was encountered is D139924, but this has
previously been fixed in other places doing bitcode linking as well.)

The 3-field form was introduced by D3499 in 2014 and the legacy 2-field
form was planned to be removed in LLVM 4.0
For the textual format, this patch migrates the existing 2-field form to
use the 3-field form and deletes the compatibility code.
test/Verifier/global-ctors-2.ll checks we have a friendly error message.
For bitcode, lib/IR/AutoUpgrade UpgradeGlobalVariables will upgrade the
2-field form (add i8* null as the third field).

An optional third field was added to `llvm.global_ctors` (and
`llvm.global_dtors`) in r209015. Most of the code has been changed to
deal with both versions of the variables. Users of the C API might
create either version, the helper functions in LLVM create the two-field
version, and clang now creates the three-field version.
However, the BitcodeReader was changed to always upgrade to the
three-field version. This created an unnecessary inconsistency in the
IR before/after serializing to bitcode.
This commit resolves the inconsistency by making the third field truly
optional (and not upgrading in the bitcode reader). Since `llvm-link`
was relying on this upgrade code, rather than deleting it I've moved it
into `ModuleLinker`, where it upgrades these arrays as necessary to
resolve inconsistencies between modules.
The ideal resolution would be to remove the 2-field version and make the
third field required. I filed PR20506 to track that.
I changed `test/Bitcode/upgrade-global-ctors.ll` to a negative test and
duplicated the `llvm-link` check in `test/Linker/global_ctors.ll` to
check both upgrade directions.
Since I came across this as part of PR5680 (serializing use-list order),
I've also added the missing `verify-uselistorder` RUN line to
`test/Bitcode/metadata-2.ll`.

Fix the sort of expected order in the reader to correctly return `false`
when comparing a `Use` against itself.
This was caught by test/Bitcode/binaryIntInstructions.3.2.ll, so I'm
adding a `RUN` line using `llvm-uselistorder` for every test in
`test/Bitcode` that passes.
A few tests still fail, so I'll investigate those next.
This is part of PR5680.
