As it turns out, modref queries are broken with CFLAA. Specifically,
the data source we were using for determining modref behaviors
explicitly ignores operations on non-pointer values. So, it wouldn't
note e.g. storing an i32 to an i32* (or loading an i64 from an i64*).
It also ignores external function calls, rather than acting
conservatively for them.
(N.B. These operations, where necessary, *are* tracked by CFLAA; we just
use a different mechanism to do so. Said mechanism is relatively
imprecise, so it's unlikely that we can provide reasonably good modref
answers with it as implemented.)

Currently, CFLAnders assumes that values it hasn't seen don't alias
anything. This patch fixes that. Given that the only way for this to
happen is to query AA, rely on specific transformations happening, then
query AA again (looking for a specific set of queries), lit testing is a
bit difficult. If someone really wants a test, I'm happy to add one.

This patch lets CFLAnders respond to mod-ref queries. It also includes
a small bugfix to CFLSteens.

This patch teaches FunctionInfo about offsets.
Like the last patch, this one doesn't introduce any visible
functionality change (the core algorithm knows nothing about offsets;
they're just plumbed through). Tests will come when we start acting
differently because of the offsets.

(N.B. I made a tiny change to Jia's patch to avoid warnings by GCC: I
put DenseMapInfo specializations in the `llvm` namespace. Only realized
that those appeared when compiling locally. :) )

This patch adds function summary support to CFLAnders. It also comes
with a lot of tests! Woohoo!

This patch adds more specific edges to CFLAndersAliasAnalysis. The goal
of these edges is to give us more information about *how* two values
that MayAlias alias. With this, we can now tell cases like
a = b; // ergo, a may alias b
apart from
a = c;
b = c;
// so, a may alias b, but only because they were both assigned to c.
...And others.

This patch adds proper handling of stratified attributes into our
anders-style CFLAA implementation. It also comes bundled with more
CFLAnders tests. :)

This adds an incomplete anders-style implementation for CFLAA. It's
incomplete in that it's missing interprocedural analysis, attrs
handling, etc. and that it needs more tests. More tests and features
will be added in future commits.

StratifiedSets (as implemented) is very fast, but its accuracy is also
limited. If we take a more aggressive andersens-like approach, we can be
way more accurate, but we'll also end up being slower.
So, we've decided to split CFLAA into CFLSteensAA and CFLAndersAA.
Long-term, we want to end up in a place where CFLSteens is queried
first; if it can provide an answer, great (since queries are basically
map lookups). Otherwise, we'll fall back to CFLAnders, BasicAA, etc.
This patch splits everything out so we can try to do something like
that when we get a reasonable CFLAnders implementation.
