useAA significantly improves the handling of vector code that has TBAA
information attached. It also helps other cases, as shown by the testsuite
changes here. The only real downside I've seen is that it interferes with
MergeConsecutiveStores. The problem is that that optimization works top
down, starting at the first store in the chain, and looks for cases where
the chain result is only used by a single related store. These related
stores don't alias, so useAA will have rewritten all the later stores to
use a different chain input (typically the same one as the first store).
I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages though, so for now I've
just disabled alias analysis for the unaligned-01.ll test.

Most SelectionDAG code drops the TBAA info when creating a new form of a
load and store (e.g. during legalization, or when converting a plain
load to an extending one). This patch tries to catch all cases where
the TBAA information can legitimately be carried over.
The patch adds alternative forms of getLoad() and getExtLoad() that take
a MachineMemOperand instead of individual fields. (The corresponding
getTruncStore() already exists.) The idea is to use the MachineMemOperand
forms when all fields are carried over (size, pointer info, isVolatile,
isNonTemporal, alignment and TBAA info). If some adjustment is being
made, e.g. to narrow the load, then we still pass the individual fields
but also pass the TBAA info.
