Summary:
Allow struct fields SRA and dead stores. This works by considering fields accesses from getElementPtr to be considered as a possible pointer root that can be cleaned up.
We check that the variable can be SRA by recursively checking the sub expressions with the new isSafeSubSROAGEP function.
basically this allows the array in following C code to be optimized out
struct Expr {
int a[2];
int b;
};
static struct Expr e;
int foo (int i)
{
e.b = 2;
e.a[i] = 1;
return e.b;
}

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

We now, from clang, can turn arrays of
static short g_data[] = {16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
into structs of the form
@g_data = internal global <{ [8 x i16], [8 x i16] }> ...
GlobalOpt will incorrectly SROA it, not realising that the access to the first
element may overflow into the second. This fixes it by checking geps more
thoroughly.
I believe this makes the globalsra-partial.ll test case invalid as the %i value
could be out of bounds. I've re-purposed it as a negative test for this case.
