Verify that the alignments specified by clang TargetInfo match the
alignments specified by LLVM data layout, which will hopefully prevent
accidental mismatches in the future.

This currently contains opt-outs for a number of of existing mismatches.

I'm also skipping the verification if options like `-malign-double` are
used, or a language that mandates sizes/alignments that differ from C.

The verification happens in CodeGen, as we can't have an IR dependency
in Basic.</content>

<title>Add support for Windows Secure Hot-Patching (redo) (#145565)</title>

(This is a re-do of #138972, which had a minor warning in `Clang.cpp`.)

This PR adds some of the support needed for Windows hot-patching.

Windows implements a form of hot-patching. This allows patches to be
applied to Windows apps, drivers, and the kernel, without rebooting or
restarting any of these components. Hot-patching is a complex technology
and requires coordination between the OS, compilers, linkers, and
additional tools.

This PR adds support to Clang and LLVM for part of the hot-patching
process. It enables LLVM to generate the required code changes and to
generate CodeView symbols which identify hot-patched functions. The PR
provides new command-line arguments to Clang which allow developers to
identify the list of functions that need to be hot-patched. This PR also
allows LLVM to directly receive the list of functions to be modified, so
that language front-ends which have not yet been modified (such as Rust)
can still make use of hot-patching.

This PR:

* Adds a `MarkedForWindowsHotPatching` LLVM function attribute. This
attribute indicates that a function should be _hot-patched_. This
generates a new CodeView symbol, `S_HOTPATCHFUNC`, which identifies any
function that has been hot-patched. This attribute also causes accesses
to global variables to be indirected through a `_ref_*` global variable.
This allows hot-patched functions to access the correct version of a
global variable; the hot-patched code needs to access the variable in
the _original_ image, not the patch image.
* Adds a `AllowDirectAccessInHotPatchFunction` LLVM attribute. This
attribute may be placed on global variable declarations. It indicates
that the variable may be safely accessed without the `_ref_*`
indirection.
* Adds two Clang command-line parameters: `-fms-hotpatch-functions-file`
and `-fms-hotpatch-functions-list`. The `-file` flag may point to a text
file, which contains a list of functions to be hot-patched (one function
name per line). The `-list` flag simply directly identifies functions to
be patched, using a comma-separated list. These two command-line
parameters may also be combined; the final set of functions to be
hot-patched is the union of the two sets.
* Adds similar LLVM command-line parameters:
`--ms-hotpatch-functions-file` and `--ms-hotpatch-functions-list`.
* Adds integration tests for both LLVM and Clang.
* Adds support for dumping the new `S_HOTPATCHFUNC` CodeView symbol.

Although the flags are redundant between Clang and LLVM, this allows
additional languages (such as Rust) to take advantage of hot-patching
support before they have been modified to generate the required
attributes.

<title>[HIP] Emit the CUID value in the module with the new driver (#144570)</title>

Summary:
This is a weird point of divergence that was not updated when the new
driver
switched to using the CUID method, which is also apparently critical
for SPIR-V compilation not failing? Somehow if we don't emit this global
than the `llvm.compiler.used` global uses AS(0) which makes SPIR-V
unhappy, but with this global it's AS(4) which makes it happy. Either
way, this should be fixed.</content>

#129142 added support for emitting Windows x64 unwind v2 information,
but it was "best effort". If any function didn't follow the requirements
for v2 it was silently downgraded to v1.

There are some parts of Windows (specifically kernel-mode code running
on Xbox) that require v2, hence we need the ability to fail the
compilation if v2 can't be used.

This change also adds a heuristic to check if there might be too many
unwind codes, it's currently conservative (i.e., assumes that certain
prolog instructions will use the maximum number of unwind codes).

Future work: attempting to chain unwind info across multiple tables if
there are too many unwind codes due to epilogs and adding a heuristic to
detect if an epilog will be too far from the end of the function.</content>

This PR resubmits the changes from #136098, which was previously
reverted due to a build failure during the linking stage:

```
undefined reference to `llvm::DebugInfoCorrelate'  
undefined reference to `llvm::ProfileCorrelate'
```

The root cause was that `llvm/lib/Frontend/Driver/CodeGenOptions.cpp`
references symbols from the `Instrumentation` component, but the
`LINK_COMPONENTS` in the `llvm/lib/Frontend/CMakeLists.txt` for
`LLVMFrontendDriver` did not include it. As a result, linking failed in
configurations where these components were not transitively linked.

### Fix:

This updated patch explicitly adds `Instrumentation` to
`LINK_COMPONENTS` in the relevant `llvm/lib/Frontend/CMakeLists.txt`
file to ensure the required symbols are properly resolved.
