Summary:
This change adds some verification in the IR verifier around struct path
TBAA metadata.
Other than some basic sanity checks (e.g. we get constant integers where
we expect constant integers), this checks:
- That by the time an struct access tuple `(base-type, offset)` is
"reduced" to a scalar base type, the offset is `0`. For instance, in
C++ you can't start from, say `("struct-a", 16)`, and end up with
`("int", 4)` -- by the time the base type is `"int"`, the offset
better be zero. In particular, a variant of this invariant is needed
for `llvm::getMostGenericTBAA` to be correct.
- That there are no cycles in a struct path.
- That struct type nodes have their offsets listed in an ascending
order.
- That when generating the struct access path, you eventually reach the
access type listed in the tbaa tag node.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

This change is mostly motivated by exposing information about the original query instruction to the actual scanning work in getPointerDependencyFrom when used by GVN PRE. In a follow up change, I will use this to be more precise with regards to the semantics of volatile instructions encountered in the scan of a basic block.
Worth noting, is that this change (despite appearing quite simple) is not semantically preserving. By providing more information to the helper routine, we allow some optimizations to kick in that weren't previously able to (when called from this code path.) In particular, we see that treatment of !invariant.load becomes more precise. In theory, we might see a difference with an ordered/atomic instruction as well, but I'm having a hard time actually finding a test case which shows that.
Test wise, I've included new tests for !invariant.load which illustrate this difference. I've also included some updated TBAA tests which highlight that this change isn't needed for that optimization to kick in - it's handled inside alias analysis itself.
Eventually, it would be nice to factor the !invariant.load handling inside alias analysis as well.

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm
and many of the tests in cfe (even handling many `CHECK` lines). I've
attached it (or will attach it in a moment if you're speedy) to PR21532
to help everyone update their out-of-tree testcases.
This is part of PR21532.

Remove the command line argument "struct-path-tbaa" since we should not depend
on command line argument to decide which format the IR file is using. Instead,
we check the first operand of the tbaa tag node, if it is a MDNode, we treat
it as struct-path aware TBAA format, otherwise, we treat it as scalar TBAA
format.
When clang starts to use struct-path aware TBAA format no matter whether
struct-path-tbaa is no, and we can auto-upgrade existing bc files, the support
for scalar TBAA format can be dropped.
Existing testing cases are updated to use the struct-path aware TBAA format.

replacement to make it at least as generic as the instruction being replaced.
This includes:
* dropping nsw/nuw flags
* getting the least restrictive tbaa and fpmath metadata
* merging ranges
Fixes PR12979.
