Insert random noops to increase security against ROP attacks (llvm)

A pass that adds random noops to X86 binaries to introduce diversity with the goal of increasing security against most return-oriented programming attacks.

Command line options:
  -noop-insertion // Enable noop insertion.
  -noop-insertion-percentage=X // X% of assembly instructions will have a noop prepended (default: 50%, requires -noop-insertion)
  -max-noops-per-instruction=X // Randomly generate X noops per instruction. ie. roll the dice X times with probability set above (default: 1). This doesn't guarantee X noop instructions.

In addition, the following 'quick switch' in clang enables basic diversity using default settings (currently: noop insertion and schedule randomization; it is intended to be extended in the future).
  -fdiversify

This is the llvm part of the patch.
