Summary:
Part of the changes in D44564 made BasicAA not CFG only due to it using
PhiAnalysisValues which may have values invalidated.
Subsequent patches (rL340613) appear to have addressed this limitation.
BasicAA should not be invalidated by non-CFG-altering passes.
A concrete example is MemCpyOpt which preserves CFG, but we are testing
it invalidates BasicAA.

The way that PhiValues is integrated with BasicAA it is possible for a pass
which uses BasicAA to pick up an instance of BasicAA that uses PhiValues without
intending to, and then delete values from a function in a way that causes
PhiValues to return dangling pointers to these deleted values. Fix this by
having a set of callback value handles to invalidate values when they're
deleted.

By using PhiValuesAnalysis we can get all the values reachable from a phi, so
we can be more precise instead of giving up when a phi has phi operands. We
can't make BaseicAA directly use PhiValuesAnalysis though, as the user of
BasicAA may modify the function in ways that PhiValuesAnalysis can't cope with.
For this optional usage to work correctly BasicAAWrapperPass now needs to be not
marked as CFG-only (i.e. it is now invalidated even when CFG is preserved) due
to how the legacy pass manager handles dependent passes being invalidated,
namely the depending pass still has a pointer to the now-dead dependent pass.
