I had used `std::remove_if` under the assumption that it moves the
predicate matching elements to the end, but actaully the elements
remaining towards the end (after the iterator returned by
`std::remove_if`) are indeterminate. Fix the bug (and make the code
more straightforward) by using a temporary SmallVector, and add a test
case demonstrating the issue.

Sequences of range checks expressed using guards, like
guard((I - 2) u< L)
guard((I - 1) u< L)
guard((I + 0) u< L)
guard((I + 1) u< L)
guard((I + 2) u< L)
can sometimes be combined into a smaller sequence:
guard((I - 2) u< L AND (I + 2) u< L)
if we can prove that (I - 2) u< L AND (I + 2) u< L implies all of checks
expressed in the previous sequence.
This change teaches GuardWidening to do this kind of merging when
feasible.

Summary:
Implement guard widening in LLVM. Description from GuardWidening.cpp:
The semantics of the `@llvm.experimental.guard` intrinsic lets LLVM
transform it so that it fails more often that it did before the
transform. This optimization is called "widening" and can be used hoist
and common runtime checks in situations like these:
```
%cmp0 = 7 u< Length
call @llvm.experimental.guard(i1 %cmp0) [ "deopt"(...) ]
call @unknown_side_effects()
%cmp1 = 9 u< Length
call @llvm.experimental.guard(i1 %cmp1) [ "deopt"(...) ]
...
```
to
```
%cmp0 = 9 u< Length
call @llvm.experimental.guard(i1 %cmp0) [ "deopt"(...) ]
call @unknown_side_effects()
...
```
If `%cmp0` is false, `@llvm.experimental.guard` will "deoptimize" back
to a generic implementation of the same function, which will have the
correct semantics from that point onward. It is always _legal_ to
deoptimize (so replacing `%cmp0` with false is "correct"), though it may
not always be profitable to do so.
NB! This pass is a work in progress. It hasn't been tuned to be
"production ready" yet. It is known to have quadriatic running time and
will not scale to large numbers of guards
