This patch updates the document with some advanced use cases and examples on how to set up and use LLVM-style RTTI. It includes a few motivating examples to get readers comfortable with the concepts.

This enabled opaque pointers by default in LLVM. The effect of this
is twofold:
* If IR that contains *neither* explicit ptr nor %T* types is passed
to tools, we will now use opaque pointer mode, unless
-opaque-pointers=0 has been explicitly passed.
* Users of LLVM as a library will now default to opaque pointers.
It is possible to opt-out by calling setOpaquePointers(false) on
LLVMContext.
A cmake option to toggle this default will not be provided. Frontends
or other tools that want to (temporarily) keep using typed pointers
should disable opaque pointers via LLVMContext.

LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.

While working on a clang-format option RemoveBracesLLVM that removes
braces following the guideline, we were unsure about what to do with
the braces of do-while loops. The ratio of using to omitting the
braces is about 4:1 in the llvm-project source, so it will help to
add an example to the guideline.
Also cleans up the original examples including making the nested if
example more targeted on avoiding potential dangling else situations.

I chose to encode the allockind information in a string constant because
otherwise we would get a bit of an explosion of keywords to deal with
the possible permutations of allocation function types.
I'm not sure that CodeGen.h is the correct place for this enum, but it
seemed to kind of match the UWTableKind enum so I put it in the same
place. Constructive suggestions on a better location most certainly
encouraged.

This used to be D102158, but all the code it describes got re-written, so I
figured I'd take another shot at documenting the new instruction referencing
variable locations, this time from a higher level. Happily there's no longer any
need to describe LiveDebugValues in any detail seeing how it's all SSA-based
now.
Probably the most important part is the explanation of what targets need to do
to support instruction referencing. The list is small, mostly because there's
nothing especially complicated that targets need to do: just instrument their
target-specific optimisations and implement the stack spill/restore recognition
target hooks.
This is a small amount of text (which is a virtue), I'm extremely happy to
expand on anything.

This summarises the changes made by d9398a91e2.
Which forms the bulk of the fixes needed for non-address bit handling.
Note that in the previous releases we noted memory tagging support,
which is a subset of non-address bits. The recent changes enable
debugging of programs using memory tagging, pointer authentication
and top byte ignore (all at once) on AArch64.
This is off by default. If you get a result and that
memory has memory tags, when --show-tags is given you'll
see the tags inline with the memory content.
```
(lldb) memory read mte_buf mte_buf+64 --show-tags
<...>
0xfffff7ff8020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0d f0 fe ca 00 00 00 00 ................ (tag: 0x2)
<...>
(lldb) memory find -e 0xcafef00d mte_buf mte_buf+64 --show-tags
data found at location: 0xfffff7ff8028
0xfffff7ff8028: 0d f0 fe ca 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ (tags: 0x2 0x3)
0xfffff7ff8038: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ (tags: 0x3 0x4)
```
The logic for handling alignments is the same as for memory read
so in the above example because the line starts misaligned to the
granule it covers 2 granules.

This reverts commit 3e928c4b9d.
This fixes an issue seen on Windows where we did not properly
get the section names of regions if they overlapped. Windows
has regions like:
[0x00007fff928db000-0x00007fff949a0000) ---
[0x00007fff949a0000-0x00007fff949a1000) r-- PECOFF header
[0x00007fff949a0000-0x00007fff94a3d000) r-x .hexpthk
[0x00007fff949a0000-0x00007fff94a85000) r-- .rdata
[0x00007fff949a0000-0x00007fff94a88000) rw- .data
[0x00007fff949a0000-0x00007fff94a94000) r-- .pdata
[0x00007fff94a94000-0x00007fff95250000) ---
I assumed that you could just resolve the address and get the section
name using the start of the region but here you'd always get
"PECOFF header" because they all have the same start point.
The usual command repeating loop used the end address of the previous
region when requesting the next, or getting the section name.
So I've matched this in the --all scenario.
In the example above, somehow asking for the region at
0x00007fff949a1000 would get you a region that starts at
0x00007fff949a0000 but has a different end point. Using the load
address you get (what I assume is) the correct section name.

This adds an option to the memory region command
to print all regions at once. Like you can do by
starting at address 0 and repeating the command
manually.
memory region [-a] [<address-expression>]
(lldb) memory region --all
[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000400000) ---
[0x0000000000400000-0x0000000000401000) r-x <...>/a.out PT_LOAD[0]
<...>
[0x0000fffffffdf000-0x0001000000000000) rw- [stack]
[0x0001000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff) ---
The output matches exactly what you'd get from
repeating the command. Including that it shows
unmapped areas between the mapped regions.
(this is why Process GetMemoryRegions is not
used, that skips unmapped areas)
Help text has been updated to show that you can have
an address or --all but not both.

`--symbolize-operands` already symbolizes branch targets based on the disassembly. When the object file is created with `-fbasic-block-sections=labels` (ELF-only) it will include a SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP section which maps basic blocks to their addresses. In such case `llvm-objdump` can annotate the disassembly based on labels inferred on this section.
In contrast to the current labels, SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP-based labels are created for every machine basic block including empty blocks and those which are not branched into (fallthrough blocks).
The old logic is still executed even when the SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP section is present to handle functions which have not been received an entry in this section.

While it originally did, this option no longer affects the cc1
interface. For the cc1 interface, -no-opaque-pointers has to be
passed, there is no cmake option.
There are many more instances of this pattern, but I chose to limit this change to .rst files (docs), anything in libcxx/include, and string literals. These have the highest chance of being seen by end users.
