This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

This patch fixes an issue where we would compute an unnecessarily small alignment during scalar promotion when no store is not to be guaranteed to execute, but we've proven load speculation safety. Since speculating a load requires proving the existing alignment is valid at the new location (see Loads.cpp), we can use the alignment fact from the load.
For non-atomics, this is a performance problem. For atomics, this is a correctness issue, though an *incredibly* rare one to see in practice. For atomics, we might not be able to lower an improperly aligned load or store (i.e. i32 align 1). If such an instruction makes it all the way to codegen, we *may* fail to codegen the operation, or we may simply generate a slow call to a library function. The part that makes this super hard to see in practice is that the memory location actually *is* well aligned, and instcombine knows that. So, to see a failure, you have to have a) hit the bug in LICM, b) somehow hit a depth limit in InstCombine/ValueTracking to avoid fixing the alignment, and c) then have generated an instruction which fails codegen rather than simply emitting a slow libcall. All around, pretty hard to hit.

Doing scalar promotion w/o being able to prove the alignment of the hoisted load or sunk store is a bug. Update tests to actually show the alignment so that impact of the patch which fixes this can be seen.

This is similar to the allocfn case - if an alloca is not captured, then it's
necessarily thread-local.

Summary:
Make isGuaranteedToExecute use the
isGuaranteedToTransferExecutionToSuccessor helper, and make that helper
a bit more accurate.
There's a potential performance impact here from assuming that arbitrary
calls might not return. This probably has little impact on loads and
stores to a pointer because most things alias analysis can reason about
are dereferenceable anyway. The other impacts, like less aggressive
hoisting of sdiv by a variable and less aggressive hoisting around
volatile memory operations, are unlikely to matter for real code.
This also impacts SCEV, which uses the same helper. It's a minor
improvement there because we can tell that, for example, memcpy always
returns normally. Strictly speaking, it's also introducing
a bug, but it's not any worse than everywhere else we assume readonly
functions terminate.

This patch teaches LICM's implementation of store promotion to exploit the fact that the memory location being accessed might be provable thread local. The fact it's thread local weakens the requirements for where we can insert stores since no other thread can observe the write. This allows us perform store promotion even in cases where the store is not guaranteed to execute in the loop.
Two key assumption worth drawing out is that this assumes a) no-capture is strong enough to imply no-escape, and b) standard allocation functions like malloc, calloc, and operator new return values which can be assumed not to have previously escaped.
In future work, it would be nice to generalize this so that it works without directly seeing the allocation site. I believe that the nocapture return attribute should be suitable for this purpose, but haven't investigated carefully. It's also likely that we could support unescaped allocas with similar reasoning, but since SROA and Mem2Reg should destroy those, they're less interesting than they first might seem.
