This is an alternative to D66980, which was reverted. Instead of
inserting a pseudo instruction that optionally expands to nothing, add a
pass that inserts int3 when appropriate after basic block layout.

This reverts r370525 (git commit 0bb1630685)
Also reverts r370543 (git commit 185ddc08ee)
The approach I took only works for functions marked `noreturn`. In
general, a call that is not known to be noreturn may be followed by
unreachable for other reasons. For example, there could be multiple call
sites to a function that throws sometimes, and at some call sites, it is
known to always throw, so it is followed by unreachable. We need to
insert an `int3` in these cases to pacify the Windows unwinder.
I think this probably deserves its own standalone, Win64-only fixup pass
that runs after block placement. Implementing that will take some time,
so let's revert to TrapUnreachable in the mean time.
llvm-svn: 370829
Users have complained llvm.trap produce two ud2 instructions on Win64,
one for the trap, and one for unreachable. This change fixes that.
TrapUnreachable was added and enabled for Win64 in r206684 (April 2014)
to avoid poorly understood issues with the Windows unwinder.
There seem to be two major things in play:
- the unwinder
- C++ EH, _CxxFrameHandler3 & co
The unwinder disassembles forward from the return address to scan for
epilogues. Inserting a ud2 had the effect of stopping the unwinder, and
ensuring that it ran the EH personality function for the current frame.
However, it's not clear what the unwinder does when the return address
happens to be the last address of one function and the first address of
the next function.
The Visual C++ EH personality, _CxxFrameHandler3, needs to figure out
what the current EH state number is. It does this by consulting the
ip2state table, which maps from PC to state number. This seems to go
wrong when the return address is the last PC of the function or catch
funclet.
I'm not sure precisely which system is involved here, but in order to
address these real or hypothetical problems, I believe it is enough to
insert int3 after a call site if it would otherwise be the last
instruction in a function or funclet. I was able to reproduce some
similar problems locally by arranging for a noreturn call to appear at
the end of a catch block immediately before an unrelated function, and I
confirmed that the problems go away when an extra trailing int3
instruction is added.
MSVC inserts int3 after every noreturn function call, but I believe it's
only necessary to do it if the call would be the last instruction. This
change inserts a pseudo instruction that expands to int3 if it is in the
last basic block of a function or funclet. I did what I could to run the
Microsoft compiler EH tests, and the ones I was able to run showed no
behavior difference before or after this change.

Summary:
I found the following case having tail blocks with no successors merging opportunities after block placement.
Before block placement:
bb0:
...
bne a0, 0, bb2:
bb1:
mv a0, 1
ret
bb2:
...
bb3:
mv a0, 1
ret
bb4:
mv a0, -1
ret
The conditional branch bne in bb0 is opposite to beq.
After block placement:
bb0:
...
beq a0, 0, bb1
bb2:
...
bb4:
mv a0, -1
ret
bb1:
mv a0, 1
ret
bb3:
mv a0, 1
ret
After block placement, that appears new tail merging opportunity, bb1 and bb3 can be merged as one block. So the conditional constraint for merging tail blocks with no successors should be removed. In my experiment for RISC-V, it decreases code size.
