Mainly adding paranoid checks for the closing brace of a function to
help with FileCheck error readability. Also some other minor changes.
No actual CHECK changes.

The normal dataflow sequence in the ARC optimizer consists of the following
states:
Retain -> CanRelease -> Use -> Release
The optimizer before this patch stored the uses that determine the lifetime of
the retainable object pointer when it bottom up hits a retain or when top down
it hits a release. This is correct for an imprecise lifetime scenario since what
we are trying to do is remove retains/releases while making sure that no
``CanRelease'' (which is usually a call) deallocates the given pointer before we
get to the ``Use'' (since that would cause a segfault).
If we are considering the precise lifetime scenario though, this is not
correct. In such a situation, we *DO* care about the previous sequence, but
additionally, we wish to track the uses resulting from the following incomplete
sequences:
Retain -> CanRelease -> Release (TopDown)
Retain <- Use <- Release (BottomUp)
*NOTE* This patch looks large but the most of it consists of updating
test cases. Additionally this fix exposed an additional bug. I removed
the test case that expressed said bug and will recommit it with the fix
in a little bit.

The semantics of ARC implies that a pointer passed into an objc_autorelease
must live until some point (potentially down the stack) where an
autorelease pool is popped. On the other hand, an
objc_autoreleaseReturnValue just signifies that the object must live
until the end of the given function at least.
Thus objc_autorelease is stronger than objc_autoreleaseReturnValue in
terms of the semantics of ARC* implying that performing the given
strength reduction without any knowledge of how this relates to
the autorelease pool pop that is further up the stack violates the
semantics of ARC.
*Even though objc_autoreleaseReturnValue if you know that no RV
optimization will occur is more computationally expensive.

If an objc_retainBlock has the copy_on_escape metadata attached to it
AND if the block pointer argument only escapes down the stack, we are
allowed to strength reduce the objc_retainBlock to to an objc_retain and
thus optimize it.
Current there is logic in the ARC data flow analysis to handle
this case which is complicated and involved making distinctions in
between objc_retainBlock and objc_retain in certain places and
considering them the same in others.
This patch simplifies said code by:
1. Performing the strength reduction in the initial ARC peephole
analysis (ObjCARCOpts::OptimizeIndividualCalls).
2. Changes the ARC dataflow analysis (which runs after the peephole
analysis) to consider all objc_retainBlock calls to not be optimizable
(since if the call was optimizable, we would have strength reduced it
already).
This patch leaves in the infrastructure in the ARC dataflow analysis to
handle this case, which due to 2 will just be dead code. I am doing this
on purpose to separate the removal of the old code from the testing of
the new code.

Listing all of the attributes for the callee of a call/invoke instruction is way
too much and makes the IR unreadable. Use references to attributes instead.

The reason that this occurs is that tail calling objc_autorelease eventually
tail calls -[NSObject autorelease] which supports fast autorelease. This can
cause us to violate the semantic gaurantees of __autoreleasing variables that
assignment to an __autoreleasing variables always yields an object that is
placed into the innermost autorelease pool.
The fix included in this patch works by:
1. In the peephole optimization function OptimizeIndividualFunctions, always
remove tail call from objc_autorelease.
2. Whenever we convert to/from an objc_autorelease, set/unset the tail call
keyword as appropriate.
*NOTE* I also handled the case where objc_autorelease is converted in
OptimizeReturns to an autoreleaseRV which still violates the ARC semantics. I
will be removing that in a later patch and I wanted to make sure that the tree
is in a consistent state vis-a-vis ARC always.
Additionally some test cases are provided and all tests that have tail call marked
objc_autorelease keywords have been modified so that tail call has been removed.
*NOTE* One test fails due to a separate bug that I am going to commit soon. Thus
I marked the check line TMP: instead of CHECK: so make check does not fail.

pointers-to-strong-pointers may be in play. These can lead to retains and
releases happening in unstructured ways, foiling the optimizer. This fixes
rdar://12150909.

I really need to find a way to automate this, but I can't come up with a regex
that has no false positives while handling tricky cases like custom check
prefixes.

traversal, consider nodes for which the only successors are backedges
which the traversal is ignoring to be exit nodes. This fixes a problem
where the bottom-up traversal was failing to visit split blocks along
split loop backedges. This fixes rdar://10989035.

the optimizer doesn't eliminate objc_retainBlock calls which are needed
for their side effect of copying blocks onto the heap.
This implements rdar://10361249.
