There is existing bitcode that we need to support where the structured nature
of pointer types is used to derive the result type of some operation. For
example a GEP's operation and result will be based on its input Type.
When pointers become opaque, the BitcodeReader will still have access to this
information because it's explicitly told how to construct the more complex
types used, but this information will not be attached to any Value that gets
looked up. This changes BitcodeReader so that in all places which use type
information in this manner, it's derived from a side-table rather than from the
Value in question.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Commits were:
"Use WeakVH instead of WeakTrackingVH in AliasSetTracker's UnkownInsts"
"Add a new WeakVH value handle; NFC"
"Rename WeakVH to WeakTrackingVH; NFC"
The changes assumed pointers are 8 byte aligned on all architectures.

Summary:
I plan to use WeakVH to mean "nulls itself out on deletion, but does
not track RAUW" in a subsequent commit.

Summary:
I'm planning on changing the way we load metadata to enable laziness.
I'm getting lost in this gigantic files, and gigantic class that is the bitcode
reader. This is a first toward splitting it in a few coarse components that
are more easily understandable.
