The bulk of the changes concerns cleanups and code refactorings concerning
record constructions that assigned 'undefined' to record fields whose type
did not contain this value. See commit 8ce35b2.
While at it, some new type definitions were introduced and type names were
used instead of record type notation. Minor code cleaups were also done.

Main problem:
A faulty HIPE_LITERAL_CRC was not detected by the loader.
Strangeness #1:
Dialyzer should ask the hipe compiler about the target checksum,
not an internal bif.
Strangeness #2:
The HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC checksum was based on the HIPE_LITERALS_CRC
checksum.
Solution:
New HIPE_ERTS_CHECKSUM which is an bxor of the two (now independent)
HIPE_LITERALS_CRC and HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC.
HIPE_LITERALS_CRC represents values that are assumed to stay constant
for different VM configurations of the same arch, and are therefor
hard coded into the hipe compiler.
HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC represents values that may differ between VM variants.
By default the hipe compiler asks the running VM for this checksum,
in order to create beam files for the same running VM.
The hipe compiler can be configured (with "make XCOMP=yes ...") to
create beam files for another VM variant, in which case HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC
is also hard coded.
ToDo:
Treat all erts properties the same. Either ask the running VM or hard
coded into hipe (if XCOMP=yes). This will simplify and reduce the risk
of dangerous mismatches. One concern might be the added overhead
from more frequent calls to hipe_bifs:get_rts_param.

Instead ask running VM for the value of THE_NON_VALUE,
which is different between opt and debug VM.
Same hipe compiler can now compile for both opt and debug VM.

A recent rewrite of some code in this file (commit 355f4b5)
exposed some dialyzer warnings of some code which is unreachable.
Indeed, checking whether one executes on an unsupported architecture
when expanding the 'o2' and 'o3' hipe compiler options is unnecessary
because that check is performed in the expansion of the 'o1' option
anyway. While at it, simplified the code a bit not to have a very
long case clause.

Applications that use the new erl_anno module are depending on STDLIB 2.5.
Note that CosNotification, Megaco, SNMP, Xmerl, and Parsetools use the
erl_anno module via the Yecc parsers only (the header file in
lib/parsetools/include/yeccpre.hrl calls the erl_anno module).
HiPE does not call the erl_anno module, but uses an exported type.
We have chosen to make HiPE dependent on the erl_anno module.

This checks that a required LLVM version (i.e. 3.4 or greater) appears in $PATH
when 'to_llvm' flag is used; in case of failure, abort compilation with an
error.

Most dependencies introduced are exactly the dependencies to other
applications found by xref. That is, there might be real dependencies
missing. There might also be pure debug dependencies listed that
probably should be removed. Each application has to be manually
inspected in order to ensure that all real dependencies are listed.
All dependencies introduced are to application versions used in
OTP 17.0. This since the previously used version scheme wasn't
designed for this, and in order to minimize the work of introducing
the dependencies.

Add flags to enable and use the LLVM backend:
* to_llvm: use the LLVM pipeline for compilation (default optimization level
is O3),
* llvm_save_temps: save the intermediate files in current directory in order
to be able to debug or optimize the LLVM assembly,
* {to_llvm, O}: set the optimization level of LLVM opt and llc tools.
Add some debug support to the loader; no semantic change intented.

The reason for this is that if you are running a system with native
compiled code, then you will have major problems with soft upgrade
and the only reasonable way to go is to restart your emulator.
Currently there is no instruction that will force ONLY a restart of
the emulator, so the solution would be to hand write a relup with
only a restart_emulator instruction. By letting hipe.appup be empty,
systools will complain and not generate a relup - which should
indicate that you might have to write your relup by hand.

As discussed in issue #240 *all* OTP library applications use the '.*'
wildcard as up and down version. This makes library applications
always up- and downgradeable. Using the wildcard version obsoletes
all maintenance tasks regarding library applications' appup files.
Additionally, it prevents upgrade problems caused by automatically
included application dependencies when using reltool to create
releases. Missing copyright headers are now consistently present.

The HiPE compiler implicitly relied on the assumption that a function
will never appear as both exported and also used as function closure.
This was true because the BEAM compiler prior to R16B created module
local anonymous functions for each closure. A proposed change to the
BEAM compiler invalidates this invariant, so in order to accommodate
for this change there needs to be a change of how the set of possibly
escaping functions is computed.
While doing this, the code was simplified by taking out a boolean()
tag that indicated whether a function is a closure or exported and
also slightly cleaned up the affected modules.

With silent rules, the output of make is less verbose and compilation
warnings are easier to spot. Silent rules are disabled by default and
can be disabled or enabled at will by make V=0 and make V=1.

The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B
run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B,
the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them.
At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is
greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.

Remove hipe_ceach from hipe.app.src to fix reltool-generated release startup

The BEAM disassembler used the atom 'none' to signify the absence
of a compile_info chunk in a .beam file. This clashes with the type
declaration of the compile_info field of a #beam_file{} record as
containing a list. Use [] to signify the absence of this chunk.
This simplifies the code and avoids a dialyzer warning.
For fixing a similar problem and for consistency, changed also the
return type of the attributes field of the #beam_file{} record.
This required a change in the beam_disasm test suite.

hipe_ceach.erl has disappeared, but is still referred to from
hipe.app.src, causing reltool-generated releases crash when they
cannot find the module.

Compiling single functions (as opposed to whole modules) to native
code complicates code management in HiPE. It would also vastly
complicate whole-module optimizations, such as returning multiple
return values instead of tuples within a module.
As a first step, remove the external interface for the single
compilation feature. In the future, there are many things that
could be restructured and simplified.

hipe:load/1 (and unexported hipe:load/2) just did not work. Calling it
would fail with a badmatch because only the hipe chunk was passed to
do_load/3's third parameter called WholeModule. Since this parameter is
then passed to beam_lib:all_chunks/1 which accepts the whole module as a
binary as well as a path to the beam file, and since a path is exactly
what we have in load/2, the fix consists in letting do_load/3 accept a
path and passing it from load/2.

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features
are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2
instead of
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a
new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks
to Sergei Golovan)
- Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in
section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7.
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.
