[LLVMdev] Enabling x86-64 JIT under Visual Studio compiler

The following things are needed for enabling win64 JIT in 2.2 release

1. Generalize defines in X86JITInfo.cpp
2. Provide win64 JIT compilation callback
3. Add new subtarget, so you can define such things as stack alignment,
etc
4. Implement a codegeneration for win64 calling convention

But please, don't invent a wheel - everything is done in LLVM
top-of-tree version (and newcoming 2.3 release).
