Nikita Popov f89f7da999 [IR] Convert null-pointer-is-valid into an enum attribute
The "null-pointer-is-valid" attribute needs to be checked by many
pointer-related combines. To make the check more efficient, convert
it from a string into an enum attribute.

In the future, this attribute may be replaced with data layout
properties.

Eric Christopher cee313d288 Revert "Temporarily Revert "Add basic loop fusion pass.""
The reversion apparently deleted the test/Transforms directory.

Will be re-reverting again.

Eric Christopher a863435128 Temporarily Revert "Add basic loop fusion pass."
As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).

This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Manoj Gupta 77eeac3d9e llvm: Add support for "-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks"
Summary:
Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel.
This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers.

More details : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/601

GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.

-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.

This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.
