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 patch tries to merge duplicate landing pads when they branch to a common shared target.
Given IR that looks like this:
lpad1:
%exn = landingpad {i8*, i32} personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0
cleanup
br label %shared_resume
lpad2:
%exn2 = landingpad {i8*, i32} personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0
cleanup
br label %shared_resume
shared_resume:
call void @fn()
ret void
}
We can rewrite the users of both landing pad blocks to use one of them. This will generally allow the shared_resume block to be merged with the common landing pad as well.
Without this change, tail duplication would likely kick in - creating N (2 in this case) copies of the shared_resume basic block.
