This is a resurrected version of the patch attached to this RFC:

https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-constantdata-should-not-have-use-lists/42606

In this adaptation, there are a few differences. In the original patch, the Use's
use list was replaced with an unsigned* to the reference count in the value. This
version leaves them as null and leaves the ref counting only in Value.

Remove use-lists from instances of ConstantData (which are shared
across modules and have no operands).

To continue supporting most of the use-list API, store a ref-count in
place of the use-list; this is for API like Value::use_empty and
Value::hasNUses.  Operations that actually need the use-list -- like
Value::use_begin -- will assert.

This change has three benefits:

 1. The compiler output cannot in any way depend on the use-list order
    of instances of ConstantData.

 2. There's no use-list traffic when adding and removing simple
    constants from operand lists (although there is ref-count traffic;
    YMMV).

 3. It's cheaper to serialize use-lists (since we're no longer
    serializing the use-list order of things like i32 0).

The downside is that you can't look at all the users of ConstantData,
but traversals of users of i32 0 are already ill-advised.

Possible follow-ups:
  - Track if an instance of a ConstantVector/ConstantArray/etc. is known
    to have all ConstantData arguments, and drop the use-lists to
    ref-counts in those cases.  Callers need to check Value::hasUseList
    before iterating through the use-list.
  - Remove even the ref-counts.  I'm not sure they have any benefit
    besides minimizing the scope of this commit, and maintaining the
    counts is not free.

Fixes #58629

Based on the output of include-what-you-use.

This is a big chunk of changes. It is very likely to break downstream code
unless they took a lot of care in avoiding hidden ehader dependencies, something
the LLVM codebase doesn't do that well :-/

I've tried to summarize the biggest change below:

- llvm/include/llvm-c/Core.h: no longer includes llvm-c/ErrorHandling.h
- llvm/IR/DIBuilder.h no longer includes llvm/IR/DebugInfo.h
- llvm/IR/IRBuilder.h no longer includes llvm/IR/IntrinsicInst.h
- llvm/IR/LLVMRemarkStreamer.h no longer includes llvm/Support/ToolOutputFile.h
- llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h no longer include llvm/Pass.h
- llvm/IR/Type.h no longer includes llvm/ADT/SmallPtrSet.h
- llvm/IR/PassManager.h no longer includes llvm/Pass.h nor llvm/Support/Debug.h

And the usual count of preprocessed lines:
$ clang++ -E  -Iinclude -I../llvm/include ../llvm/lib/IR/*.cpp -std=c++14 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions | wc -l
before: 6400831
after:  6189948

200k lines less to process is no that bad ;-)

The new implementation makes it clear that there are exactly two
conditional stores (after the initial no-op optimization). By contrast
the old implementation had seven conditionals, some hidden inside other
functions.

This commit can change the order of operands in operand lists, hence the
tweak to one test case.

i believe that it is worth trading +1.8% peak memory use for -1.1% compile time.
also this patch removes waymarking which simplifies the Use and User classes.

i believe that it is worth trading +1.8% peak memory use for -1.1% compile time.
also this patch removes waymarking which simplifies the Use and User classes.

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.
