[PATCH} Remove '.bc' input support from the frontend

[Alp Toker]

The attached patch removes code that apparently supported '.bc' binary 
LLVM bitcode as a frontend input kind.

There were no tests and it's unclear if it was in a working state. I'm 
comfortable removing this because it doesn't really align with the 
frontend's primary objective of diagnosing textual input and lowering 
source code.

The removal lets us parse and diagnose '.ll' IR inputs more efficiently 
without duplicating file contents into memory.

(If there's desire to keep '.bc' support and someone contributes tests 
for it, I'm fine to explore other ways to achieve this optimisation.)

Requires the recently posted MemoryBuffer patch.

Alp.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Remove unused '.bc' input and optimize '.ll' support

The '.bc' binary input file support had no tests and didn't really really make
sense as a frontend input.

Removing it lets us avoid copying whole file contents into memory in the common
case because ParseAssembly() can share ownership unlike the catch-all
ParseIR().
