Alp Toker 042f41b047 StringRef: Extend constexpr capabilities and introduce ConstStringRef ...

(1) Add llvm_expect(), an asserting macro that can be evaluated as a constexpr
    expression as well as a runtime assert or compiler hint in release builds. This
    technique can be used to construct functions that are both unevaluated and
    compiled depending on usage.

(2) Update StringRef using llvm_expect() to preserve runtime assertions while
    extending the same checks to static asserts in C++11 builds that support the
    feature.

(3) Introduce ConstStringRef, a strong subclass of StringRef that references
    compile-time constant strings. It's convertible to, but not from, ordinary
    StringRef and thus can be used to add compile-time safety to various interfaces
    in LLVM and clang that only accept fixed inputs such as diagnostic format
    strings that tend to get misused.
