Remove implicit ilist iterator conversions from LLVMAnalysis.
I came across something really scary in `llvm::isKnownNotFullPoison()`
which relied on `Instruction::getNextNode()` being completely broken
(not surprising, but scary nevertheless). This function is documented
(and coded to) return `nullptr` when it gets to the sentinel, but with
an `ilist_half_node` as a sentinel, the sentinel check looks into some
other memory and we don't recognize we've hit the end.
Rooting out these scary cases is the reason I'm removing the implicit
conversions before doing anything else with `ilist`; I'm not at all
surprised that clients rely on badness.
I found another scary case -- this time, not relying on badness, just
bad (but I guess getting lucky so far) -- in
`ObjectSizeOffsetEvaluator::compute_()`. Here, we save out the
insertion point, do some things, and then restore it. Previously, we
let the iterator auto-convert to `Instruction*`, and then set it back
using the `Instruction*` version:
Instruction *PrevInsertPoint = Builder.GetInsertPoint();
/* Logic that may change insert point */
if (PrevInsertPoint)
Builder.SetInsertPoint(PrevInsertPoint);
The check for `PrevInsertPoint` doesn't protect correctly against bad
accesses. If the insertion point has been set to the end of a basic
block (i.e., `SetInsertPoint(SomeBB)`), then `GetInsertPoint()` returns
an iterator pointing at the list sentinel. The version of
`SetInsertPoint()` that's getting called will then call
`PrevInsertPoint->getParent()`, which explodes horribly. The only
reason this hasn't blown up is that it's fairly unlikely the builder is
adding to the end of the block; usually, we're adding instructions
somewhere before the terminator.

CaptureTracking becomes very expensive in large basic blocks while
calling PointerMayBeCaptured. PointerMayBeCaptured scans the BB the
number of times equal to the number of uses of 'BeforeHere', which is
currently capped at 20 and bails out with Tracker->tooManyUses().
The bottleneck here is the number of calls to PointerMayBeCaptured * the
basic block scan. In a testcase with a 82k instruction BB,
PointerMayBeCaptured is called 130k times, leading to 'shouldExplore'
taking 527k runs, this currently takes ~12min.
To fix this we locally (within PointerMayBeCaptured) number the
instructions in the basic block using a DenseMap to cache instruction
positions/numbers. We build the cache incrementally every time we need
to scan an unexplored part of the BB, improving compile time to only
take ~2min.
This triggers in the flow: DeadStoreElimination -> MepDepAnalysis ->
CaptureTracking.
Side note: after multiple runs in the test-suite I've seen no
performance nor compile time regressions, but could note a couple of
compile time improvements:

The functions {pred,succ,use,user}_{begin,end} exist, but many users
have to check *_begin() with *_end() by hand to determine if the
BasicBlock or User is empty. Fix this with a standard *_empty(),
demonstrating a few usecases.

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

directory. These passes are already defined in the IR library, and it
doesn't make any sense to have the headers in Analysis.
Long term, I think there is going to be a much better way to divide
these matters. The dominators code should be fully separated into the
abstract graph algorithm and have that put in Support where it becomes
obvious that evn Clang's CFGBlock's can use it. Then the verifier can
manually construct dominance information from the Support-driven
interface while the Analysis library can provide a pass which both
caches, reconstructs, and supports a nice update API.
But those are very long term, and so I don't want to leave the really
confusing structure until that day arrives.

subsequent changes are easier to review. About to fix some layering
issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to
match the usage in Memory.inc.

to find loops if the From and To instructions were in the same block.
Refactor the code a little now that we need to fill to start the CFG-walking
algorithm with more than one starting basic block sometimes.
Special thanks to Andrew Trick for catching an error in my understanding of
natural loops in code review.

Adds unit tests for it too.
Split BasicBlockUtils into an analysis-half and a transforms-half, and put the
analysis bits into a new Analysis/CFG.{h,cpp}. Promote isPotentiallyReachable
into llvm::isPotentiallyReachable and move it into Analysis/CFG.
