It is intended to be used for a family of personality functions that
have similar IR preparation requirements. Typically when interoperating
with MSVC personality functions, bits of functionality need to be
outlined from the main function into helper functions. There is also
usually more than one landing pad per invoke, which does not match the
LLVM IR landingpad representation.
None of this is implemented yet. This change just adds a new enum that
is active for *-windows-msvc and delegates to the EH removal preparation
pass. No functionality change for other targets.

Summary:
The current "WinEH" exception handling type is more about Itanium-style
LSDA tables layered on top of the Windows native unwind info format
instead of .eh_frame tables or EHABI unwind info. Use the name
"ItaniumWinEH" to better reflect the hybrid nature of the design.
Also rename isExceptionHandlingDWARF to usesItaniumLSDAForExceptions,
since the LSDA is part of the Itanium C++ ABI document, and not the
DWARF standard.

DwarfException served as a base class for exception handling directive emission.
However, this is also used by other exception models (e.g. Win64EH). Rename
this class to EHStreamer and split it out of DwarfException.h. NFC.
Use the opportunity to fix up some of the documentation comments to match
current LLVM style. Also rename some functions to conform better with current
LLVM coding style.
