This looks like a lot of code just to support a rarely used feature, but a lot of this is plumbing that will let me delete some existing code in a subsequent commit. Some of this will also be needed to support the various preinitialized data attributes/general type preinitialization. * Redirecting uses of HasStaticConstructor to go through the TypeInitialization class (exposing higher level APIs "HasLazyCctor" and "HasEagerCctor") * Emitting a new table with an array of eager class constructors * Augmenting GC/nonGC/ThreadStatic and Method nodes to depend on an entry in the eager cctor table if the owning type has a cctor * Startup code addition to iterate over the list of eager cctors and call them one by one Reusable code: * ArrayOfEmbeddedPointers: we have a buch of places where we just want an array of pointers. This will let us e.g. delete StringIndirectionNode. Missing features: ordering the eager cctors. I want to think a bit about how we parse custom attribute blobs before I implement that. Fixes dotnet#471.

Add support for static constructors that run at the module initialization time.
We should take the ordering algorithm from RhBind.
Depends on #469.
Prerequisite for #288.
