Add functionality to load dynamic libraries temporarily

Previously, it was possible to load dynamic libraries which would be unloaded on llvm_shutdown(), but recently ManagedStatic removal changed this so that loaded libraries really can't ever be unloaded. This functionality was very useful, and so to add it back in a more explicit way, I've added new getLibrary() and closeLibrary() methods to allow callers to use the very convenient platform independent abstraction that LLVM has for dynamic libraries.

As a specific use case, the onnx-mlir project was using this functionality with an API that allows instancing LLVM so you can compile a shared library, and then load that library, and eventually close the instance (and library) and compile something else. This change to llvm_shutdown causes libraries to leak and also locks the libraries for the entire duration of the program which prevents reusing library names.
