critical edge has been split. The MachineDominatorTree will when lazy update the
underlying dominance properties when require.
** Context **
This is a follow-up of r215410.
Each time a critical edge is split this invalidates the dominator tree
information. Thus, subsequent queries of that interface will be slow until the
underlying information is actually recomputed (costly).
** Problem **
Prior to this patch, splitting a critical edge needed to query the dominator
tree to update the dominator information.
Therefore, splitting a bunch of critical edges will likely produce poor
performance as each query to the dominator tree will use the slow query path.
This happens a lot in passes like MachineSink and PHIElimination.
** Proposed Solution **
Splitting a critical edge is a local modification of the CFG. Moreover, as soon
as a critical edge is split, it is not critical anymore and thus cannot be a
candidate for critical edge splitting anymore. In other words, the predecessor
and successor of a basic block inserted on a critical edge cannot be inserted by
critical edge splitting.
Using these observations, we can pile up the splitting of critical edge and
apply then at once before updating the DT information.
The core of this patch moves the update of the MachineDominatorTree information
from MachineBasicBlock::SplitCriticalEdge to a lazy MachineDominatorTree.
** Performance **
Thanks to this patch, the motivating example compiles in 4- minutes instead of
6+ minutes. No test case added as the motivating example as nothing special but
being huge!
The binaries are strictly identical for all the llvm test-suite + SPECs with and
without this patch for both Os and O3.
Regarding compile time, I observed only noise, although on average I saw a
small improvement.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

address of the PassInfo directly instead of calling getPassInfo.
This eliminates a bunch of dynamic initializations of static data.
Also, fold RegisterPassBase into PassInfo, make a bunch of its
data members const, and rearrange some code to initialize data
members in constructors instead of using setter member functions.
