BitcodeReader: Change mechanics of BlockAddress forward references, NFC
Now that we can reliably handle forward references to `BlockAddress`
(r214563), change the mechanics to simplify predicting use-list order.
Previously, we created dummy `GlobalVariable`s to represent block
addresses. After every function was materialized, we'd go through any
forward references to its blocks and RAUW them with a proper
`BlockAddress` constant. This causes some (potentially a lot of)
unnecessary use-list churn, since any constant expression that it's a
part of will need to be rematerialized as well.
Instead, pre-construct a `BasicBlock` immediately -- without attaching
it to its (empty) `Function` -- and use that to construct a
`BlockAddress`. This constant will not have to be regenerated. When
the function body is parsed, hook this pre-constructed basic block up
in the right place using `BasicBlock::insertInto()`.
Both before and after this change, the IR is temporarily in an invalid
state that gets resolved when `materializeForwardReferencedFunctions()`
gets called.
This is a prep commit that's part of PR5680, but the only functionality
change is the reduction of churn in the constant pool.
