PHI that has at least one unrelocated input cannot cause any issues by itself,
though its uses should be carefully verified. With this patch PHIs are allowed
to have any inputs but when all inputs are unrelocated the PHI is marked as
unrelocated and if not all inputs are unrelocated then the PHI is marked as
poisoned. Poisoned pointers can be used only in three ways: to derive new
pointers, in PHIs or in comparisons against constants that are exclusively
derived from null.

Original Patch and summary by Philip Reames.
RewriteStatepointsForGC tries to rewrite a function in a manner where
the optimizer can't end up using a pointer value after it might have
been relocated by a safepoint. This pass checks the invariant that
RSForGC is supposed to establish and that (if we constructed semantics
correctly) later passes must preserve.
This has been a really useful diagnostic tool when initially developing
the rewriting scheme and has found numerous bugs.
