AliasSetTracker has special case handling for memset, memcpy and memmove which pre-existed argmemonly on functions and readonly and writeonly on arguments. This patch generalizes it using the AA infrastructure to any call correctly annotated.
The motivation here is to cut down on confusion, not performance per se. For most instructions, there is a direct mapping to alias set. However, this is not guaranteed by the interface and was not in fact true for these three intrinsics *and only these three intrinsics*. I kept getting myself confused about this invariant, so I figured it would be good to clearly distinguish between a instructions and alias sets. Calls happened to be an easy target.
The nice side effect is that custom implementations of memset/memcpy/memmove - including wrappers discovered by IPO - can now be optimized the same as builts by LICM.
Note: The actual removal of the memset/memtransfer specific handling will happen in a follow on NFC patch. It was originally part of this one, but separate for ease of review and rebase.

The fix is fairly simple, but is says something unpleasant about the usage and testing of invariant.start/end scopes that this went undetected. To put this in perspective, *any* invariant.end in a loop flowing through LICM crashed. I haven't bothered to figure out just how far back this goes, but it's not caused by any of the recent changes. We're probably talking months if not years.

Summary:
This change teaches DSE that the atomic memory intrinsics are stores
that can be eliminated, and can allow other stores to be eliminated.
This change specifically does not teach DSE that these intrinsics
can be partially eliminated (i.e. length reduced, and dest/src changed);
that will be handled in another change.

Summary:
The LibFunc::Func enum holds enumerators named for libc functions.
Unfortunately, there are real situations, including libc implementations, where
function names are actually macros (musl uses "#define fopen64 fopen", for
example; any other transitively visible macro would have similar effects).
Strictly speaking, a conforming C++ Standard Library should provide any such
macros as functions instead (via <cstdio>). However, there are some "library"
functions which are not part of the standard, and thus not subject to this
rule (fopen64, for example). So, in order to be both portable and consistent,
the enum should not use the bare function names.
The old enum naming used a namespace LibFunc and an enum Func, with bare
enumerators. This patch changes LibFunc to be an enum with enumerators prefixed
with "LibFFunc_". (Unfortunately, a scoped enum is not sufficient to override
macros.)
There are additional changes required in clang.

I tried to be as close as possible to the strongest check that
existed before; cleaning these up properly is left for future work.

virtual interface on AliasAnalysis only deals with ModRef information.
This interface was both computing memory locations by using TLI and
other tricks to estimate the size of memory referenced by an operand,
and computing ModRef information through similar investigations. This
change narrows the scope of the virtual interface on AliasAnalysis
slightly.
Note that all of this code could live in BasicAA, and be done with
a single investigation of the argument, if it weren't for the fact that
the generic code in AliasAnalysis::getModRefBehavior for a callsite
calls into the virtual aspect of (now) getArgModRefInfo. But this
patch's arrangement seems a not terrible way to go for now.
The other interesting wrinkle is how we could reasonably extend LLVM
with support for custom memory location sizes and mod/ref behavior for
library routines. After discussions with Hal on the review, the
conclusion is that this would be best done by fleshing out the much
desired support for extensions to TLI, and support these types of
queries in that interface where we would likely be doing other library
API recognition and analysis.

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.
