Remove -simplify-libcalls pass form Passes documentation 

This pass was removed in r184459.

Also added note that the InstCombine pass does library call
simplification.

Patch slightly modified from one by Daniel Liew

This pass can also simplify calls to specific well-known function calls (e.g.
runtime library functions). For example, a call ``exit(3)`` that occurs within
the ``main()`` function can be transformed into simply ``return 3``. Whether or
not library calls are simplified is controlled by the
:ref:`-functionattrs <passes-functionattrs>` pass and LLVM's knowledge of
library calls on different targets.
