[PATCH] [opaque pointer type] Bitcode support for explicit type parameter on GEP.

[David Blaikie]

Hi chandlerc, dexonsmith, grosbach, resistor,

Like http://reviews.llvm.org/D7655, add bitcode support including backwards
compatibility, for an explicit type parameter to GEP.

At the suggestion of Duncan I tried coalescing the two older bitcodes into a
single new bitcode, though I did hit a wrinkle: I couldn't figure out how to
create an explicit abbreviation for a record with a variable number of
arguments (the indicies to the gep). This means the discriminator between
inbounds and non-inbounds gep is a full variable-length field I believe? Is my
understanding correct? Is there a way to create such an abbreviation? Should I
just use two bitcodes as before?
