/// The general structure of ThinLTO is quite different from the structure of
/// "fat" LTO above. With "fat" LTO all LLVM modules in question are merged into
/// one giant LLVM module, and then we run more optimization passes over this
/// big module after internalizing most symbols. Thin LTO, on the other hand,
/// avoid this large bottleneck through more targeted optimization.
///
/// At a high level Thin LTO looks like:
///
///     1. Prepare a "summary" of each LLVM module in question which describes
///        the values inside, cost of the values, etc.
///     2. Merge the summaries of all modules in question into one "index"
///     3. Perform some global analysis on this index
///     4. For each module, use the index and analysis calculated previously to
///        perform local transformations on the module, for example inlining
///        small functions from other modules.
///     5. Run thin-specific optimization passes over each module, and then code
///        generate everything at the end.
///
/// The summary for each module is intended to be quite cheap, and the global
/// index is relatively quite cheap to create as well. As a result, the goal of
/// ThinLTO is to reduce the bottleneck on LTO and enable LTO to be used in more
/// situations. For example one cheap optimization is that we can parallelize
/// all codegen modules, easily making use of all the cores on a machine.
///
/// With all that in mind, the function here is designed at specifically just
/// calculating the *index* for ThinLTO. This index will then be shared amongst
/// all of the `LtoModuleCodegen` units returned below and destroyed once
/// they all go out of scope.
