Following some recent discussions, this changes the representation
of callbrs in IR. The current blockaddress arguments are replaced
with `!` label constraints that refer directly to callbr indirect
destinations:
; Before:
%res = callbr i8* asm "", "=r,r,i"(i8* %x, i8* blockaddress(@test8, %foo))
to label %asm.fallthrough [label %foo]
; After:
%res = callbr i8* asm "", "=r,r,!i"(i8* %x)
to label %asm.fallthrough [label %foo]
The benefit of this is that we can easily update the successors of
a callbr, without having to worry about also updating blockaddress
references. This should allow us to remove some limitations:
* Allow unrolling/peeling/rotation of callbr, or any other
clone-based optimizations
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/41834)
* Allow duplicate successors
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/45248)
This is just the IR representation change though, I will follow up
with patches to remove limtations in various transformation passes
that are no longer needed.

In D115311, we're looking to modify clang to emit i constraints rather
than X constraints for callbr's indirect destinations. Prior to doing
so, update all of the existing tests in llvm/ to match.

The bitcode reader expected that the pointers are typed,
so that it can extract the function type for the assembly
so `bitc::CST_CODE_INLINEASM` did not explicitly store said function type.
I'm not really sure how the upgrade path will look for existing bitcode,
but i think we can easily support opaque pointers going forward,
by simply storing the function type.

This patch accompanies the RFC posted here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-October/127239.html
This patch adds a new CallBr IR instruction to support asm-goto
inline assembly like gcc as used by the linux kernel. This
instruction is both a call instruction and a terminator
instruction with multiple successors. Only inline assembly
usage is supported today.
This also adds a new INLINEASM_BR opcode to SelectionDAG and
MachineIR to represent an INLINEASM block that is also
considered a terminator instruction.
There will likely be more bug fixes and optimizations to follow
this, but we felt it had reached a point where we would like to
switch to an incremental development model.
