[IR] Add MDBuilder helpers for the new TBAA metadata format

[kosarev]

Summary

The new helpers are supposed to be used in clang to generate TBAA information in the new format proposed in this thread:

http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-November/118748.html

[kosarev]

Changed the order of metadata nodes describing structure fields so that the type node comes first. This agrees with the order of nodes in access tags and type nodes in the old format where offsets come after type nodes. Also simplifies adopting the existing code to the new format a bit.

We refer to this field in clang's CodeGenTBAA::getBaseTypeInfoHelper(), so I should either fix that function just after committing this patch (and then the first commit won't be buildable) or commit a series of changes so that every revision is buildable. Say, I could temporarily add a getType() method, then switch getBaseTypeInfoHelper() to use it, then rename the field, then fix getBaseTypeInfoHelper() to refer to the new name and then remove getType(). Can you please advice on what way is preferred and whether it would be okay to do that without pre-review?

[kosarev]

Ping.

LGTM

You can commit this patch immediately followed by an update to Clang. You'll still trip some of the buildbots, but in the present configuration, that's acceptable.

Clang is updated in rL320994.
