Taiju Tsuiki 44f9c585b9 Update NRVO logic to support early return
Summary:
The previous implementation misses an opportunity to apply NRVO (Named Return Value
Optimization) below. That discourages user to write early return code.

```
struct Foo {};

Foo f(bool b) {
  if (b)
    return Foo();
  Foo oo;
  return oo;
}
```
That is, we can/should apply RVO for a local variable if:
 * It's directly returned by at least one return statement.
 * And, all reachable return statements in its scope returns the variable directly.
While, the previous implementation disables the RVO in a scope if there are multiple return
statements that refers different variables.

On the new algorithm, local variables are in NRVO_Candidate state at first, and a return
statement changes it to NRVO_Disabled for all visible variables but the return statement refers.
Then, at the end of the function AST traversal, NRVO is enabled for variables in NRVO_Candidate
state and refers from at least one return statement.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
