In Itanium, dynamic classes have one vtable with several different
address points for dynamic base classes that can't share vtables.
In the MS C++ ABI, each vbtable that can't be shared gets its own
symbol, similar to how ctor vtables work in Itanium. However, instead
of mangling the subobject offset into the symbol, the unique portions of
the inheritance path are mangled into the symbol to make it unique.
This patch implements the MSVC 2012 scheme for forming unique vbtable
symbol names. MSVC 2010 use the same mangling with a different subset
of the path. Implementing that mangling and possibly others is TODO.
Each vbtable is an array of i32 offsets from the vbptr that points to it
to another virtual base subobject. The first entry of a vbtable always
points to the base of the current subobject, implying that it is the
same no matter which parent class contains it.

The backend will now use the generic 'returned' attribute to form tail calls where possible, as well as avoid save-restores of 'this' in some cases (specifically the cases that matter for the ARM C++ ABI).
This patch also reverts a prior front-end only partial implementation of these optimizations, since it's no longer required.
