SimplifyCFG allows tail merging with code which terminates in
unreachable which, in turn, makes it possible for an invoke to end up in
a funclet which it was not originally part of.
Using operand bundles on invokes allows us to determine whether or not
an invoke was part of a funclet in the source program.
Furthermore, it allows us to unambiguously answer questions about the
legality of inlining into call sites which the personality may have
trouble with.

While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Summary:
This ensures that BranchFolding (and similar) won't remove these blocks.
Also allow AsmPrinter::EmitBasicBlockStart to process MBBs which are
address-taken but do not have BBs that are address-taken, since otherwise
its call to getAddrLabelSymbolTableToEmit would fail an assertion on such
blocks. I audited the other callers of getAddrLabelSymbolTableToEmit
(and getAddrLabelSymbol); they all have BBs known to be address-taken
except for the call through getAddrLabelSymbol from
WinException::create32bitRef; that call is actually now unreachable, so
I've removed it and updated the signature of create32bitRef.
This fixes PR25168.

Summary:
We now use the block for the catchpad itself, rather than its normal
successor, as the funclet entry.
Putting the normal successor in the map leads downstream funclet
membership computations to erroneous results.
