v5.0.0

LLVM v5.0.0

This is a breaking release, with as major breaking change the introduction of additional type arguments to many IRBuilder methods that involve pointers. This is to prepare for opaque pointers, and when using a sufficiently recent version of LLVM/Julia, LLVM.jl fully supports running with opaque pointers enabled. Practically, you need to update many call sites (like call! or gep!) to now include the element type of pointers, where this would previously had been deduced from the pointer value. Deprecations are put in place, which will be removed in the next breaking release.

As part of this breaking change, we also changed llvmtype to value_type, in addition to newly introduced function_type and return_type queries.
