Those commits created an artificial edge from a cleanup to a synthesized
catchswitch in order to get the MSVC personality routine to execute
cleanups which don't cleanupret and are not wrapped by a catchswitch.
This worked well enough but is not a complete solution in situations
where there the cleanup infinite loops.
However, the real deal breaker behind this approach comes about from a
degenerate case where the cleanup is post-dominated by unreachable *and*
throws an exception. This ends poorly because the catchswitch will
inadvertently catch the exception.
Because of this we should go back to our previous behavior of not
executing certain cleanups (identical behavior with the Itanium ABI
implementation in clang, GCC and ICC).
N.B. I think this could be salvaged by making the catchpad rethrow the
exception and properly transforming throwing calls in the cleanup into
invokes.

Cleanups in C++ are a little weird. They are only guaranteed to be
reliably executed if, and only if, there is a viable catch handler which
can handle the exception.
This means that reachability of a cleanup is lexically determined by it
being nested with a try-block which unwinds to a catch. It is *cannot*
be reasoned about by examining the control flow edges leaving a cleanup.
Usually this is not a problem. It becomes a problem when there are *no*
edges out of a cleanup because we believed that code post-dominated by
the cleanup is dead. In LLVM's case, this code is what informs the
personality routine about the presence of a suitable catch handler.
However, the lack of edges to that catch handler makes the handler
become unreachable which causes us to remove it. By removing the
handler, the cleanup becomes unreachable.
Instead, inject a catch-all handler with every cleanup that has no
unwind edges. This will allow us to properly unwind the stack.
This fixes PR25997.

Summary:
A funclet EH pad may be exited by an unwind edge, which may be a
cleanupret exiting its cleanuppad, an invoke exiting a funclet, or an
unwind out of a nested funclet transitively exiting its parent. Funclet
EH personalities require all such exceptional exits from a given funclet to
have the same unwind destination, and EH preparation / state numbering /
table generation implicitly depends on this. Formalize it as a rule of
the IR in the LangRef and verifier.

SimplifyCFG allows tail merging with code which terminates in
unreachable which, in turn, makes it possible for an invoke to end up in
a funclet which it was not originally part of.
Using operand bundles on invokes allows us to determine whether or not
an invoke was part of a funclet in the source program.
Furthermore, it allows us to unambiguously answer questions about the
legality of inlining into call sites which the personality may have
trouble with.

It turns out that terminatepad gives little benefit over a cleanuppad
which calls the termination function. This is not sufficient to
implement fully generic filters but MSVC doesn't support them which
makes terminatepad a little over-designed.
Depends on D15478.

While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Windows EH funclets need to always return to a single parent funclet. However, it is possible for earlier optimizations to combine funclets (probably based on one funclet having an unreachable terminator) in such a way that this condition is violated.
These changes add code to the WinEHPrepare pass to detect situations where a funclet has multiple parents and clone such funclets, fixing up the unwind and catch return edges so that each copy of the funclet returns to the correct parent funclet.

The MSVC doesn't really support exception specifications so let's just
turn these into cleanuppads. Later, we might use terminatepad to more
efficiently encode the "noexcept"-ness of a function body.

We are experimenting with a new approach to saving and restoring SSA
values used across funclets: let the register allocator do the dirty
work for us.
However, this means that we need to be able to clone commoned blocks
without relying on demotion.
