Use a mark-and-sweep algorithm to find and remove unused instructions
and MemoryAccesses. This is useful in particular to remove scalar
writes that are never used anywhere. A scalar write in a loop induces
a write-after-write dependency that stops the loop iterations to be
rescheduled. Such writes can be a result of previous transformations
such as DeLICM and operand tree forwarding.
It adds a new class VirtualInstruction that represents an instruction in
a particular statement. At the moment an instruction can only belong to
the statement that represents a BasicBlock. In the future, instructions
can be in one of multiple statements representing a BasicBlock
(Nandini's work), in different statements than its BasicBlock would
indicate, and even multiple statements at once (by forwarding operand
trees). It also integrates nicely with the VirtualUse class.
ScopStmt::contains(Instruction*) currently uses the instruction's parent
BasicBlock to check whether it contains the instruction. It will need to
check the actual statement list when one of the aforementioned features
become possible.

Iterate through memory accesses in execution order (first all implicit reads,
then explicit accesses, then implicit writes).
In the test case this caused an implicit load to be handled as if it was loaded
after the write. That is, the value being written before it is available.
This fixes llvm.org/PR33323

Removal of overwritten writes currently encompasses all the cases
of the identical write removal.
There is an observable behavioral change in that the last, instead
of the first, MemoryAccess is kept. This should not affect the
generated code, however.

Remove memory writes that are overwritten by later writes. This works
for StoreInsts:
store double 21.0, double* %A
store double 42.0, double* %A
scalar writes at the end of a statement and mixes of these.
Multiple writes can be the result of DeLICM, which might map multiple
writes to the same location when it knows that these do no conflict
(for instance because they write the same value). Such writes
interfere with pattern-matched optimization such as gemm and may not
get removed by other LLVM passes after code generation.

After DeLICM, it is possible to have two writes of the same value to
the same location in the same statement when it determined that those
writes do not conflict (write the same value).
Teach -polly-simplify to remove one of the writes. It interferes with
the pattern matching of matrix-multiplication kernels and also seem
to not be optimized away by LLVM.
The algorthm is simple, has O(n^2) behaviour (n = max number of
MemoryAccesses in a statement) and only matches the most obvious cases,
but seem to be enough to pattern-match Boost ublas gemm.
Not handled cases include:
- StoreInst instructions (a.k.a. explicit writes), since the value might
be loaded or overwritten between the two stores.
- PHINode, especially LCSSA, when the PHI value matches with on other's.
- Partial writes (in preparation)

This new pass removes unnecessary accesses and writes. It currently
supports 2 simplifications, but more are planned.
It removes write accesses that write a loaded value back to the location
it was loaded from. It is a typical artifact from DeLICM. Removing it
will get rid of bogus dependencies later in dependency analysis.
It also removes statements without side-effects. ScopInfo already
removes these, but the removal of unnecessary writes can result in
more side-effect free statements.
