[cfe-commits] TableGen backend API refactoring review request

[Sean Silva]

Here is a new patch updating the Clang API. It is just the minimal changes
to move over to the new API. The .inc files are bit-identical. For now,
I'll postpone 2 and 3 for a more general TableGen "cleanup" patch-set at
some unspecified time in the future unless you strongly feel otherwise.

After this patch, you should be able to apply 3-llvm.patch from the
previous email and fully remove the old API.

I will see what I can do to ensure deterministic iteration order. I also
have some major TableGen docs updates in the works.
