This marker prevents optimization passes from adding 'tail' or
'musttail' markers to a call. Is is used to prevent tail call
optimization from being performed on the call.

This attribute allows the compiler to assume that the function never recurses into itself, either directly or indirectly (transitively). This can be used among other things to demote global variables to locals.

Use 10 bits to represent calling convention ID's instead of 13, and
update the bitcode compatibility tests accordingly. We now error-out in
the bitcode reader when we see bad calling conv ID's.
Thanks to rnk and dexonsmith for feedback!

Summary:
This also adds the first set of tests for operand bundles.
The optimizer has not been audited to ensure that it does the right
thing with operand bundles.
Depends on D12456.

The rest of the EH pads are fine, since they have at most one label and
take fewer operands for the personality.
Old catchpad vs. new:
%5 = catchpad [i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @"\01?filt$0@0@main@@" to i8*)] to label %__except.ret.10 unwind label %catchendblock.9
-----
%5 = catchpad [i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @"\01?filt$0@0@main@@" to i8*)]
to label %__except.ret.10 unwind label %catchendblock.9

This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

Successive versions of LLVM should retain the ability to parse bitcode
generated by old releases of the compiler. This adds a bitcode format
compatibility test, which is intended to provide good (albeit not
entirely exhaustive) coverage of the current LangRef.
This also includes compatibility tests for LLVM 3.6. After every 3.X.0
release, the compatibility.ll file from the 3.X branch should be copied
to compatibility-3.X.ll on trunk, and the 3.X.0 release used to generate
a corresponding bitcode file.
