Make it possible to create multiple JIT instances at the same time, by removing
the global TheJIT and TheJITResolver variables. Lazy compilation is supported by a global map from a stub address to the JITResolver that knows how to compile it. Patch by Olivier Meurant! git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@95837 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
