analyses to have a common type which is enforced rather than using
a char object and a `void *` type when used as an identifier.
This has a number of advantages. First, it at least helps some of the
confusion raised in Justin Lebar's code review of why `void *` was being
used everywhere by having a stronger type that connects to documentation
about this.
However, perhaps more importantly, it addresses a serious issue where
the alignment of these pointer-like identifiers was unknown. This made
it hard to use them in pointer-like data structures. We were already
dodging this in dangerous ways to create the "all analyses" entry. In
a subsequent patch I attempted to use these with TinyPtrVector and
things fell apart in a very bad way.
And it isn't just a compile time or type system issue. Worse than that,
the actual alignment of these pointer-like opaque identifiers wasn't
guaranteed to be a useful alignment as they were just characters.
This change introduces a type to use as the "key" object whose address
forms the opaque identifier. This both forces the objects to have proper
alignment, and provides type checking that we get it right everywhere.
It also makes the types somewhat less mysterious than `void *`.
We could go one step further and introduce a truly opaque pointer-like
type to return from the `ID()` static function rather than returning
`AnalysisKey *`, but that didn't seem to be a clear win so this is just
the initial change to get to a reliably typed and aligned object serving
is a key for all the analyses.
Thanks to Richard Smith and Justin Lebar for helping pick plausible
names and avoid making this refactoring many times. =] And thanks to
Sean for the super fast review!
While here, I've tried to move away from the "PassID" nomenclature
entirely as it wasn't really helping and is overloaded with old pass
manager constructs. Now we have IDs for analyses, and key objects whose
address can be used as IDs. Where possible and clear I've shortened this
to just "ID". In a few places I kept "AnalysisID" to make it clear what
was being identified.

Besides a general consistently benefit, the extra layer of indirection
allows the mechanical part of https://reviews.llvm.org/D23256 that
requires touching every transformation and analysis to be factored out
cleanly.
Thanks to David for the suggestion.

As it turns out, modref queries are broken with CFLAA. Specifically,
the data source we were using for determining modref behaviors
explicitly ignores operations on non-pointer values. So, it wouldn't
note e.g. storing an i32 to an i32* (or loading an i64 from an i64*).
It also ignores external function calls, rather than acting
conservatively for them.
(N.B. These operations, where necessary, *are* tracked by CFLAA; we just
use a different mechanism to do so. Said mechanism is relatively
imprecise, so it's unlikely that we can provide reasonably good modref
answers with it as implemented.)

This patch lets CFLAnders respond to mod-ref queries. It also includes
a small bugfix to CFLSteens.

This patch teaches FunctionInfo about offsets.
Like the last patch, this one doesn't introduce any visible
functionality change (the core algorithm knows nothing about offsets;
they're just plumbed through). Tests will come when we start acting
differently because of the offsets.
Patch by Jia Chen.
(N.B. I made a tiny change to Jia's patch to avoid warnings by GCC: I
put DenseMapInfo specializations in the `llvm` namespace. Only realized
that those appeared when compiling locally. :) )

This patch simplifies the graph builder by encoding nodes as {Value,
Dereference Level} pairs. This lets us kill edge types, and allows us to
get rid of hacks in StratifiedSets (like addAttrsBelow/...). This
simplification also allows us to remove InstantiatedRelations and
InstantiatedAttrs.

This removes a few fields from the graph builder by making us compute
things (that we'd always compute anyway) more eagerly.

"More things" = StratifiedAttrs and various bits like interprocedural

StratifiedSets (as implemented) is very fast, but its accuracy is also
limited. If we take a more aggressive andersens-like approach, we can be
way more accurate, but we'll also end up being slower.
So, we've decided to split CFLAA into CFLSteensAA and CFLAndersAA.
Long-term, we want to end up in a place where CFLSteens is queried
first; if it can provide an answer, great (since queries are basically
map lookups). Otherwise, we'll fall back to CFLAnders, BasicAA, etc.
This patch splits everything out so we can try to do something like
that when we get a reasonable CFLAnders implementation.
