In Polly we used both the term 'scattering' and the term 'schedule' to describe
the execution order of a statement without actually distinguishing between them.
We now uniformly use the term 'schedule' for the execution order. This
corresponds to the terminology of isl.
History: CLooG introduced the term scattering as the generated code can be used
as a sequential execution order (schedule) or as a parallel dimension
enumerating different threads of execution (placement). In Polly and/or isl the
term placement was never used, but we uniformly refer to an execution order as a
schedule and only later introduce parallelism. When doing so we do not talk
about about specific placement dimensions.

This change is a step towards using a single isl_schedule object throughout
Polly. At the moment the schedule is just constructed from the flat
isl_union_map that defines the schedule. Later we will obtain it directly
from the scop and potentially obtain a schedule with a non-trivial internal
structure that will allow faster dependence analysis.

isl_union_map_compute_flow() has been replaced by
isl_union_access_info_compute_flow(). This change does not intend to
change funcitonality, yet. However, it will allow us to pass in subsequent
changes schedule trees to the dependence analysis instead of flat schedules.
This should speed up dependence analysis for important cases significantly.

The new Dependences struct in the DependenceInfo holds all information
that was formerly part of the DependenceInfo. It also provides the
same interface for the user to access this information.
This is another step to a more general ScopPass interface that does
allow multiple SCoPs to be "in flight".

We rename the Dependences pass to DependenceInfo as a first step to a
caching pass policy. The new DependenceInfo pass will later provide
"Dependences" for a SCoP.
To keep consistency the test folder is renamed too.
