[clang][llvm][fatlto] Avoid cloning modules in FatLTO (#72180)

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/70703 pointed out that
cloning LLVM modules could lead to miscompiles when using FatLTO.

This is due to an existing issue when cloning modules with labels (see
#55991 and #47769). Since this can lead to miscompilation, we can avoid
cloning the LLVM modules, which was desirable anyway.

This patch modifies the EmbedBitcodePass to no longer clone the module
or run an input pipeline over it. Further, it make FatLTO always perform
UnifiedLTO, so we can still defer the Thin/Full LTO decision to
link-time. Lastly, it removes dead/obsolete code related to now defunct
options that do not work with the EmbedBitcodePass implementation any
longer.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
