Summary:
Adding part of the changes in D30369 (needed to make progress):
Current patch updates AliasAnalysis and MemoryLocation, but does _not_ clean up MemorySSA.
Original summary from D30369, by dberlin:
Currently, we have instructions which affect memory but have no memory
location. If you call, for example, MemoryLocation::get on a fence,
it asserts. This means things specifically have to avoid that. It
also means we end up with a copy of each API, one taking a memory
location, one not.
This starts to fix that.
We add MemoryLocation::getOrNone as a new call, and reimplement the
old asserting version in terms of it.
We make MemoryLocation optional in the (Instruction, MemoryLocation)
version of getModRefInfo, and kill the old one argument version in
favor of passing None (it had one caller). Now both can handle fences
because you can just use MemoryLocation::getOrNone on an instruction
and it will return a correct answer.
We use all this to clean up part of MemorySSA that had to handle this difference.
Note that literally every actual getModRefInfo interface we have could be made private and replaced with:
getModRefInfo(Instruction, Optional<MemoryLocation>)
and
getModRefInfo(Instruction, Optional<MemoryLocation>, Instruction, Optional<MemoryLocation>)
and delegating to the right ones, if we wanted to.
I have not attempted to do this yet.

Summary:
Implements PR889
Removing the virtual table pointer from Value saves 1% of RSS when doing
LTO of llc on Linux. The impact on time was positive, but too noisy to
conclusively say that performance improved. Here is a link to the
spreadsheet with the original data:

This change makes it invalid to directly delete a Value, User, or
Instruction pointer. Instead, such code can be rewritten to a null check
and a call Value::deleteValue(). Value objects tend to have their
lifetimes managed through iplist, so for the most part, this isn't a big
deal. However, there are some places where LLVM deletes values, and
those places had to be migrated to deleteValue. I have also created
llvm::unique_value, which has a custom deleter, so it can be used in
place of std::unique_ptr<Value>.
I had to add the "DerivedUser" Deleter escape hatch for MemorySSA, which
derives from User outside of lib/IR. Code in IR cannot include MemorySSA
headers or call the MemoryAccess object destructors without introducing
a circular dependency, so we need some level of indirection.
Unfortunately, no class derived from User may have any virtual methods,
because adding a virtual method would break User::getHungOffOperands(),
which assumes that it can find the use list immediately prior to the
User object. I've added a static_assert to the appropriate OperandTraits
templates to help people avoid this trap.

Analysis, it has Analysis passes, and once NewGVN is made an Analysis,
this removes the cross dependency from Analysis to Transform/Utils.
