LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.

dso_local leads to direct access even if the definition is not within this compilation unit (it is
still in the same linkage unit). On ELF, such a relocation (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32) referencing a
STB_GLOBAL STV_DEFAULT object can cause a linker error in a -shared link.
If the linkage is changed to available_externally, the dso_local flag should be dropped, so that no
direct access will be generated.
The current behavior is benign, because -fpic does not assume dso_local
(clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp:shouldAssumeDSOLocal).
If we do that for -fno-semantic-interposition (D73865), there will be an
R_X86_64_PC32 linker error without this patch.

Summary:
Records in the module summary index whether the bitcode was compiled
with the option necessary to enable splitting the LTO unit
(e.g. -fsanitize=cfi, -fwhole-program-vtables, or -fsplit-lto-unit).
The information is passed down to the ModuleSummaryIndex builder via a
new module flag "EnableSplitLTOUnit", which is propagated onto a flag
on the summary index.
This is then used during the LTO link to check whether all linked
summaries were built with the same value of this flag. If not, an error
is issued when we detect a situation requiring whole program visibility
of the class hierarchy. This is the case when both of the following
conditions are met:
1) We are performing LowerTypeTests or Whole Program Devirtualization.
2) There are type tests or type checked loads in the code.
Note I have also changed the ThinLTOBitcodeWriter to also gate the
module splitting on the value of this flag.

Summary:
The LTO/ThinLTO driver currently creates invalid bitcode by setting
symbols marked dllimport as dso_local. The compiler often has access
to the definition (often dllexport) and the declaration (often
dllimport) of an object at link-time, leading to a conflicting
declaration. This patch resolves the inconsistency by removing the
dllimport attribute.
