-* LLVM's ``WeakVH`` has been renamed to ``WeakTrackingVH`` and a new ``WeakVH``

- does not track values across RAUW.
-
-* A new library named ``BinaryFormat`` has been created which holds a collection
- of code which previously lived in ``Support``. This includes the
- ``file_magic`` structure and ``identify_magic`` functions, as well as all the
- structure and type definitions for DWARF, ELF, COFF, WASM, and MachO file
- formats.
