[PATCH] LTO: Lazily load modules that are used for parsing symbols

Start lazy-loading `LTOModule`s that own their contexts. These can only
really be used for parsing symbols, so its unnecessary to ever
materialize their functions.
I looked into using `IRObjectFile::create()` and optionally calling
`materializAllPermanently()` afterwards, but this turned out to be
awkward.
- The default target triple and data layout logic needs to happen
*before* the call to `IRObjectFile::IRObjectFile()`, but after
`Module` was created.
- I tried passing a lambda in to do the module initialization, but
this seemed to require threading the error message from
`TargetRegistry::lookupTarget()` through `std::error_code`.
- I also looked at setting `errMsg` directly from within the lambda,
but this didn't look any better.
(I guess there's a reason we weren't already using that function.)
Note that I added a test in r224408 to ensure that parsing symbols
actually works in this flow.
