Jessica Paquette c984e21394 [Outliner] Add tail call support
This commit adds tail call support to the MachineOutliner pass. This allows
the outliner to insert jumps rather than calls in areas where tail calling is
possible. Outlined tail calls include the return or terminator of the basic
block being outlined from.

Tail call support allows the outliner to take returns and terminators into
consideration while finding candidates to outline. It also allows the outliner
to save more instructions. For example, in the X86-64 outliner, a tail called
outlined function saves one instruction since no return has to be inserted.
