Annotations are evil. This makes Value not derive from Annotable, which makes
all dynamically allocated LLVM values 4 bytes smaller, eliminate some vtables, and make Value's destructor faster. This makes Function derive from Annotation now because it is the only core LLVM class that still has an annotation stuck onto it: MachineFunction. MachineFunction is obviously horrible and gross (like most other annotations), but will be the subject of refactorings later in the future. Besides many fewer Function objects are dynamically allocated that instructions blocks, constants, types, etc... :) llvm-svn: 11878
