    Initialize/Register LTO passes to enable flags like -print-after=<lto-pass> · 1e6d80e2

    There already have two "dead" functions, initialize{IPO|IPA}, defined for 
    similar purpose. I decide not to call these two functions for two reasons:
      o. they don't cover all LTO passes (which will soon be separated into IPO 
         and post-IPO passes)
      o. We have not yet figured out the right passes and the ordering for IPO 
         and post-IPO stages, meaning this change is only for the time being.
    
    Since LTO passes are registered, we are now able to print IR before and 
    after particular point.
    
    For OSX users:
    --------------
      "...-Wl,-mllvm -Wl,-print-after=<pass-name>" will print IR after the
      specified pass.
    
    For Other UNIX with GNU gold linker:
    ------------------------------------
      "-Wl,-plugin-opt=-print-after=<pass-name>" should work.
      (NOTE: no need for "-Wl,-mllvm")
    
      Strip "-Wl," if flags are fed directly to linker instead of clang/clang++.
