A basic block could contain:
%cp = cleanuppad []
cleanupret from %cp unwind to caller
This basic block is empty and is thus a candidate for removal. However,
there can be other uses of %cp outside of this basic block. This is
only possible in unreachable blocks.
Make our transform more correct by checking that the pad has a single
user before removing the BB.
This fixes PR28005.

A cleanuppad is not cheap, they turn into many instructions and result
in additional spills and fills. It is not worth keeping a cleanuppad
around if all it does is hold a lifetime.end instruction.
N.B. We first try to merge the cleanuppad with another cleanuppad to
avoid dropping the lifetime and debug info markers.

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.

Clang now passes the adjectives as an argument to catchpad.
Getting the CatchObj working is simply a matter of threading another
static alloca through codegen, first as an alloca, then as a frame
index, and finally as a frame offset.

The rest of the EH pads are fine, since they have at most one label and
take fewer operands for the personality.
Old catchpad vs. new:
%5 = catchpad [i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @"\01?filt$0@0@main@@" to i8*)] to label %__except.ret.10 unwind label %catchendblock.9
-----
%5 = catchpad [i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @"\01?filt$0@0@main@@" to i8*)]
to label %__except.ret.10 unwind label %catchendblock.9
