Summary:
Use MemorySSA, if requested, to do less conservative memory dependency
checking.
This change doesn't enable the MemorySSA enhanced EarlyCSE in the
default pipelines, so should be NFC.

The rules for removing trivially dead stores are a lot less complicated than loads. Since we know the later store post dominates the former and the former dominates the later, unless the former has side effects other than the actual store, we can remove it. One slightly surprising thing is that we can freely remove atomic stores, even if the later one isn't atomic. There's no guarantee the atomic one was every visible.
For the moment, we don't handle DSE of ordered atomic stores. We could extend the same chain of reasoning to them, but the catch is we'd then have to model the ordering effect without a store instruction. Since our fences are a stronger than our operation orderings, simple using a fence isn't an obvious win. This arguable calls for a refinement in our fence specification, but that's (much) later work.

Summary: As a follow-up to rL255054 I wasn't able to convince myself that the code did what I thought, so I wrote more tests.

This patch teaches the fully redundant load part of EarlyCSE how to forward from atomic and volatile loads and stores, and how to eliminate unordered atomics (only). This patch does not include dead store elimination support for unordered atomics, that will follow in the near future.
The basic idea is that we allow all loads and stores to be tracked by the AvailableLoad table. We store a bit in the table which tracks whether load/store was atomic, and then only replace atomic loads with ones which were also atomic.
No attempt is made to refine our handling of ordered loads or stores. Those are still treated as full fences. We could pretty easily extend the release fence handling to release stores, but that should be a separate patch.
