Summary:
Alias analysis would like to know that
invariant.group.barrier returns pointer that mustalias,
but this can't imply that we can replace one pointer with another

This debugger was designed to catch places where the old update API was
failing to be used correctly. As I've removed the update API, it no
longer serves any purpose. We can introduce new debugging aid passes
around any future work w.r.t. updating AAs.
Note that I've updated the documentation here, but really I need to
rewrite the documentation to carefully spell out the ideas around
stateful AA and how things are changing in the AA world. However, I'm
hoping to do that as a follow-up to the refactoring of the AA
infrastructure to work in both old and new pass managers so that I can
write the documentation specific to that world.

This will allow classes to implement the AA interface without deriving
from the class or referencing an internal enum of some other class as
their return types.
Also, to a pretty fundamental extent, concepts such as 'NoAlias',
'MayAlias', and 'MustAlias' are first class concepts in LLVM and we
aren't saving anything by scoping them heavily.
My mild preference would have been to use a scoped enum, but that
feature is essentially completely broken AFAICT. I'm extremely
disappointed. For example, we cannot through any reasonable[1] means
construct an enum class (or analog) which has scoped names but converts
to a boolean in order to test for the possibility of aliasing.
[1]: Richard Smith came up with a "solution", but it requires class
templates, and lots of boilerplate setting up the enumeration multiple
times. Something like Boost.PP could potentially bundle this up, but
even that would be quite painful and it doesn't seem realistically worth
it. The enum class solution would probably work without the need for
a bool conversion.

:doc:`...` and :ref:`...` links help Sphinx keep track the dependencies
between documents and ensure that they are not pointing to nowhere.
Raw HTML links work just fine and are easier for people less familiar
with reST/Sphinx. They are easy to change over to the :doc:/:ref: style
after the fact so this is not a problem.
This commit doesn't fix all of them.

Before we learned about :doc:, we used :ref: and put a dummy link at the
top of each page. Don't do that anymore.
This fixes PR14891 as a special case.
