Bitcode: Stop using MODULE_CODE_METADATA_VALUES

The motivation for MODULE_CODE_METADATA_VALUES was to enable an
-flto=thin scheme where:

 1. First, one function is cherry-picked from a bitcode file.
 2. Later, another function is cherry-picked.
 3. Later, ...
 4. Finally, the metadata needed by all the previous functions is
    loaded.

This was abandoned in favour of:

 1. Calculate the superset of functions needed from a Module.
 2. Link all functions at once.

Delayed metadata reading no longer serves a purpose.  It also adds
a few complication, since we can't count on metadata being properly
parsed when exiting the BitcodeReader.  After discussing with Teresa, we
agreed to remove it.

The code that depended on this was removed/updated in r264326.
