Initial commit of the 'landingpad' instruction.
This implements the 'landingpad' instruction. It's used to indicate that a basic block is a landing pad. There are several restrictions on its use (see LangRef.html for more detail). These restrictions allow the exception handling code to gather the information it needs in a much more sane way. This patch has the definition, implementation, C interface, parsing, and bitcode support in it. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@137501 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
