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.

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.

Summary:
Now that there is a one-to-one mapping from MachineFunction to
WinEHFuncInfo, we don't need to use a DenseMap to select the right
WinEHFuncInfo for the current funclet.
The main challenge here is that X86WinEHStatePass is an IR pass that
doesn't have access to the MachineFunction. I gave it its own
WinEHFuncInfo object that it uses to calculate state numbers, which it
then throws away. As long as nobody creates or removes EH pads between
this pass and SDAG construction, we will get the same state numbers.
The other thing X86WinEHStatePass does is to mark the EH registration
node. Instead of communicating which alloca was the registration through
WinEHFuncInfo, I added the llvm.x86.seh.ehregnode intrinsic. This
intrinsic generates no code and simply marks the alloca in use.

Also Fix a buglet where SEH tables had ranges that spanned funclets.
The remaining tests using the old landingpad IR are preparation tests,
and will be deleted along with the old preparation.

Apparently this is important, otherwise _except_handler3 assumes that
the registration node is corrupted and ignores it.
Also fix a bug in WinEHPrepare where we would insert code after a
terminator instruction.

The runtime does not restore CSRs when transferring control back to the
function handling the exception. According to the experts on IRC, LLVM's
register allocator has no way to model register clobbers that only
happen on one edge of the CFG. For now, don't worry about trying to use
the meager three CSRs available on 32-bit X86 and just say that such
invokes preserve nothing.

Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.
These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.
Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.

The incoming EBP value established by the runtime is actually a pointer
to the end of the EH registration object, and not the true parent
function frame pointer. Clang doesn't need llvm.x86.seh.exceptioninfo
anymore because we know that the exception info pointer is at a fixed
offset from this incoming EBP.
The llvm.x86.seh.recoverfp intrinsic takes an EBP value provided by the
EH runtime and returns a pointer that is usable with llvm.framerecover.
The llvm.x86.seh.restoreframe intrinsic is inserted by the 32-bit
specific preparation pass in blocks targetted by the EH runtime. It
re-establishes any physical registers used by the parent function to
address the stack, such as the frame, base, and stack pointers.
Neither of these intrinsics correctly handle stack realignment prologues
yet, but it's possible to add that later.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

This intrinsic is like framerecover plus a load. It recovers the EH
registration stack allocation from the parent frame and loads the
exception information field out of it, giving back a pointer to an
EXCEPTION_POINTERS struct. It's designed for clang to use in SEH filter
expressions instead of accessing the EXCEPTION_POINTERS parameter that
is available on x64.
This required a minor change to MC to allow defining a label variable to
another absolute framerecover label variable.
