This re-organizes the LTO streamer to do compression transparently
in the data-streamer routines (and disables section compression
by defaulting to -flto-compression-level=0).  This avoids
keeping the whole uncompressed sections in memory, only retaining
the compressed ones.

The downside is that we lose compression of at least the string
parts (they are abusing the streaming interface quite awkwardly
and doing random-accesses with offsets into the uncompressed
section).  With a little bit of surgery we can get that back I
think (but we'd have to keep the uncompressed piece in memory
somewhere which means losing the memory use advantage).

Very lightly tested sofar (running lto.exp).  I'll try a LTO
bootstrap now.

I wonder what the change is on WPA memory use for larger
projects and what the effect on object file size is.
Updated patch passing LTO bootstrap (one warning fix) and
with a memory leak fixed.
Testing with Firefox is impossible at the moment because of PR61885.
One thing I've noticed (before the ICE) is that virtual memory usage is
very high:

Maybe there is still a memleak (just checked that LTOing int main() {}
doesn't leak).
Found it:

Hello,
   there's memory/CPU usage for the patch. for both, I used sync and 
drop_caches.
