analyses into LLVM's Analysis library rather than having them in
a Transforms library.
This is motivated by the need to have the core AliasAnalysis
infrastructure be aware of the ObjCARCAliasAnalysis. However, it also
seems like a nice and clean separation. Everything was very easy to move
and this doesn't create much clutter in the analysis library IMO.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

The RCIdentity root ("Reference Count Identity Root") of a value V is a
dominating value U for which retaining or releasing U is equivalent to
retaining or releasing V. In other words, ARC operations on V are
equivalent to ARC operations on U.
This is a useful property to ascertain since we can use this in the ARC
optimizer to make it easier to match up ARC operations by always mapping
ARC operations to RCIdentityRoots instead of pointers themselves. Then
we perform pairing of retains, releases which are applied to the same
RCIdentityRoot.
In general, the two ways that we see RCIdentical values in ObjC are via:
1. PointerCasts
2. Forwarding Calls that return their argument verbatim.
As such in ObjC, two RCIdentical pointers must always point to the same
memory location.
Previously this concept was implicit in the code and various methods
that dealt with this concept were given functional names that did not
conform to any name in the "ARC" model. This often times resulted in
code that was hard for the non-ARC acquanted to understand resulting in
unhappiness and confusion.

This adds back r222061, but now calls initializePAEvalPass from the correct
library to avoid link problems.
Original message:
Don't make assumptions about the name of private global variables.
Private variables are can be renamed, so it is not reliable to make
decisions on the name.
The name is also dropped by the assembler before getting to the
linker, so using the name causes a disconnect between how llvm makes a
decision (var name) and how the linker makes a decision (section it is
in).
This patch changes one case where we were looking at the variable name to use
the section instead.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

business.
This header includes Function and BasicBlock and directly uses the
interfaces of both classes. It has to do with the IR, it even has that
in the name. =] Put it in the library it belongs to.
This is one step toward making LLVM's Support library survive a C++
modules bootstrap.

Summary:
I searched Transforms/ and Analysis/ for 'ByVal' and updated those call
sites to check for inalloca if appropriate.
I added tests for any change that would allow an optimization to fire on
inalloca.

clang.arc.used is an interesting call for ARC since ObjCARCContract
needs to run to remove said intrinsic to avoid a linker error (since the
call does not exist).

Since we handle optimizable objc_retainBlocks through strength reduction
in OptimizableIndividualCalls, we know that all code after that point
will only see non-optimizable objc_retainBlock calls. IsForwarding is
only called by functions after that point, so it is ok to just classify
objc_retainBlock as non-forwarding.

This also required adding 2x headers Dependency Analysis.h/Provenance Analysis.h
and a .cpp file DependencyAnalysis.cpp to unentangle the dependencies inbetween
ObjCARCContract and ObjCARCOpts.
