We should never give up on AAIsDead as it guards other AAs from
unreachable code (in which SSA properties are meaningless). We did
however use required dependences on some queries in AAIsDead which
caused us to invalidate AAIsDead if the queried AA got invalidated.
We now use optional dependences instead. The bug that exposed this is
added to the liveness.ll test and other test changes show the impact.
Bug report by @sdmitriev.
We now use getPointerDereferenceableBytes to determine `nonnull` and
`dereferenceable` facts from the IR. We also use getPointerAlignment in
AAAlign for the same reason. The latter can interfere with callbacks so
we do restrict it to non-function-pointers for now.
In a recent patch we introduced a problem with abstract attributes that
were assumed dead at some point. Since `Attributor::updateAA` was
introduced in 95e0d28b71, we did not
remember the dependence on the liveness AA when an abstract attribute
was assumed dead and therefore not updated.
Explicit reproducer added in liveness.ll.

When the Attributor was created the test update scripts were not well
suited to deal with the challenges of IR attribute checking. This
partially improved.
Since then we also added three additional configurations that need
testing; in total we now have the following four:
{ TUNIT, CGSCC } x { old pass manager (OPM), new pass manager (NPM) }
Finally, the number of developers and tests grew rapidly (partially due
to the addition of ArgumentPromotion and IPConstantProp tests), which
resulted in tests only being run in some configurations, different
prefixes being used, and different "styles" of checks being used.
Due to the above reasons I believed we needed to take another look at
the test update scripts. While we started to use them, via UTC_ARGS:
--enable/disable, the other problems remained. To improve the testing
situation for *all* configurations, to simplify future updates to the
test, and to help identify subtle effects of future changes, we now use
the test update scripts for (almost) all Attributor tests.
An exhaustive prefix list minimizes the number of check lines and makes
it easy to identify and compare configurations.
Tests have been adjusted in the process but we tried to keep their
intend unchanged.

When we use information only to short-cut deduction or improve it, we
can use OPTIONAL dependences instead of REQUIRED ones to avoid cascading
pessimistic fixpoints.
We also need to track dependences only when we use assumed information,
e.g., we act on assumed liveness information.
Since the information is known we can simply use it at the call site.
This is especially useful for callbacks but also helps regular calls.
The test changes are mechanical.
Summary:
This patch moves the test cases related to Attributor to `Transforms/Attributor` folder.
We have used `Transforms/FunctionAttrs` as the primary folder for Attributor test but we need to change testing way now.
For the test cases which I think functionattrs doesn't infer anything something like (willreturn, nosync, value-simplify, h2s ..etc), I moved them with the command `git mv`.
For the test cases in which functoinattrs and attributor are tested, I copied the test to the folder and remove the check only used by functoinattrs.
