This patch fixes creating TBAA access descriptors for
may_alias-marked access types. Currently, for such types we
generate ordinary descriptors with char as its access type. The
patch changes this to produce proper may-alias descriptors.

We can't use "union member" as the access type here like this.

The basic idea behind this patch is that since in strict aliasing
mode all accesses to union members require their outermost
enclosing union objects to be specified explicitly, then for a
couple given accesses to union members of the form
p->a.b.c...
q->x.y.z...
it is known they can only alias if both p and q point to the same
union type and offset ranges of members a.b.c... and x.y.z...
overlap. Note that the actual types of the members do not matter.
Specifically, in this patch we do the following:
* Make unions to be valid TBAA base access types. This enables
generation of TBAA type descriptors for unions.
* Encode union types as structures with a single member of a
special "union member" type. Currently we do not encode
information about sizes of types, but conceptually such union
members are considered to be of the size of the whole union.
* Encode accesses to direct and indirect union members, including
member arrays, as accesses to these special members. All
accesses to members of a union thus get the same offset, which
is the offset of the union they are part of. This means the
existing LLVM TBAA machinery is able to handle such accesses
with no changes.
While this is already an improvement comparing to the current
situation, that is, representing all union accesses as may-alias
ones, there are further changes planned to complete the support
for unions. One of them is storing information about access sizes
so we can distinct accesses to non-overlapping union members,
including accesses to different elements of member arrays.
Another change is encoding type sizes in order to make it
possible to compute offsets within constant-indexed array
elements. These enhancements will be addressed with separate
patches.

The information about access and type sizes is necessary for
producing TBAA metadata in the new size-aware format. With this
patch, D39955 and D39956 in place we should be able to change
CodeGenTBAA::createScalarTypeNode() and
CodeGenTBAA::getBaseTypeInfo() to generate metadata in the new
format under the -new-struct-path-tbaa command-line option. For
now, this new information remains unused.

This patch fixes various places in clang to propagate may-alias
TBAA access descriptors during construction of lvalues, thus
eliminating the need for the LValueBaseInfo::MayAlias flag.

This patch is an attempt to clarify and simplify generation and
propagation of TBAA information. The idea is to pack all values
that describe a memory access, namely, base type, access type and
offset, into a single structure. This is supposed to make further
changes, such as adding support for unions and array members,
easier to prepare and review.
DecorateInstructionWithTBAA() is no more responsible for
converting types to tags. These implicit conversions not only
complicate reading the code, but also suggest assigning scalar
access tags while we generally prefer full-size struct-path tags.
TBAAPathTag is replaced with TBAAAccessInfo; the latter is now
the type of the keys of the cache map that translates access
descriptors to metadata nodes.
Fixed a bug with writing to a wrong map in
getTBAABaseTypeMetadata() (former getTBAAStructTypeInfo()).
We now check for valid base access types every time we
dereference a field. The original code only checks the top-level
base type. See isValidBaseType() / isTBAAPathStruct() calls.
Some entities have been renamed to sound more adequate and less
confusing/misleading in presence of path-aware TBAA information.
Now we do not lookup twice for the same cache entry in
getAccessTagInfo().
Refined relevant comments and descriptions.

This patch makes it possible to produce access tags in a uniform
manner regardless whether the resulting tag will be a scalar or a
struct-path one. getAccessTagInfo() now takes care of the actual
translation of access descriptors to tags and can handle all
kinds of accesses. Facilities that specific to scalar accesses
are eliminated.
Some more details:
* DecorateInstructionWithTBAA() is not responsible for conversion
of types to access tags anymore. Instead, it takes an access
descriptor (TBAAAccessInfo) and generates corresponding access
tag from it.
* getTBAAInfoForVTablePtr() reworked to
getTBAAVTablePtrAccessInfo() that now returns the
virtual-pointer access descriptor and not the virtual-point
type metadata.
* Added function getTBAAMayAliasAccessInfo() that returns the
descriptor for may-alias accesses.
* getTBAAStructTagInfo() renamed to getTBAAAccessTagInfo() as now
it is the only way to generate access tag by a given access
descriptor. It is capable of producing both scalar and
struct-path tags, depending on options and availability of the
base access type. getTBAAScalarTagInfo() and its cache
ScalarTagMetadataCache are eliminated.
* Now that we do not need to care about whether the resulting
access tag should be a scalar or struct-path one,
getTBAAStructTypeInfo() is renamed to getBaseTypeInfo().
* Added function getTBAAAccessInfo() that constructs access
descriptor by a given QualType access type.

For struct-path aware TBAA, we used to use scalar type node as the scalar tag,
which has an incompatible format with the struct path tag. We now use the same
format: base type, access type and offset.
We also uniformize the scalar type node and the struct type node: name, a list
of pairs (offset + pointer to MDNode). For scalar type, we have a single pair.
These are to make implementaiton of aliasing rules easier.

Added TBAABaseType and TBAAOffset in LValue. These two fields are initialized to
the actual type and 0, and are updated in EmitLValueForField.
Path-aware TBAA tags are enabled for EmitLoadOfScalar and EmitStoreOfScalar.

This required manually correcting all of the incorrect main-module

script over the files.
I also manually added quite a few missing headers that were uncovered by
shuffling the order or moving headers up to be main-module-headers.

- Move MiscNameMangler member functions to MangleContext
- Remove GlobalDecl dependency from MangleContext
- Make MangleContext abstract and move Itanium/Microsoft functionality
