This is a little tricky, so I need some advice from the community.
First off, I'm not sure where it's appropriate to put these. For
llvm-c, most files live in a header named after the library that
includes the functions, and we don't have a corresponding place for
these functions. Perhaps they could go in a
llvm-c/Transforms/StandardPasses.h?

Second, createStandardModulePasses accepts an inlining pass an an
argument, but llvm-c doesn't expose a way to directly create any
passes. So, should I just not expose that argument, or should I add:

LLVMPassRef
LLVMCreateFunctionInliningPass
LLVMCreateAlwaysInlinerPass
LLVMCreatePartialInliningPass

But that seems silly just to expose those passes this way without all
the other passes and related functions. Does anyone have a better
suggestion?
