Alina Sbirlea dfd14adeb0 Generalize MergeBlockIntoPredecessor. Replace uses of MergeBasicBlockIntoOnlyPred.
Summary:
Two utils methods have essentially the same functionality. This is an attempt to merge them into one.
1. lib/Transforms/Utils/Local.cpp : MergeBasicBlockIntoOnlyPred
2. lib/Transforms/Utils/BasicBlockUtils.cpp : MergeBlockIntoPredecessor

Prior to the patch:
1. MergeBasicBlockIntoOnlyPred
Updates either DomTree or DeferredDominance
Moves all instructions from Pred to BB, deletes Pred
Asserts BB has single predecessor
If address was taken, replace the block address with constant 1 (?)

2. MergeBlockIntoPredecessor
Updates DomTree, LoopInfo and MemoryDependenceResults
Moves all instruction from BB to Pred, deletes BB
Returns if doesn't have a single predecessor
Returns if BB's address was taken

After the patch:
Method 2. MergeBlockIntoPredecessor is attempting to become the new default:
Updates DomTree or DeferredDominance, and LoopInfo and MemoryDependenceResults
Moves all instruction from BB to Pred, deletes BB
Returns if doesn't have a single predecessor
Returns if BB's address was taken

Uses of MergeBasicBlockIntoOnlyPred that need to be replaced:

1. lib/Transforms/Scalar/LoopSimplifyCFG.cpp
Updated in this patch. No challenges.

2. lib/CodeGen/CodeGenPrepare.cpp
Updated in this patch.
  i. eliminateFallThrough is straightforward, but I added using a temporary array to avoid the iterator invalidation.
  ii. eliminateMostlyEmptyBlock(s) methods also now use a temporary array for blocks
Some interesting aspects:
  - Since Pred is not deleted (BB is), the entry block does not need updating.
  - The entry block was being updated with the deleted block in eliminateMostlyEmptyBlock. Added assert to make obvious that BB=SinglePred.
  - isMergingEmptyBlockProfitable assumes BB is the one to be deleted.
  - eliminateMostlyEmptyBlock(BB) does not delete BB on one path, it deletes its unique predecessor instead.
  - adding some test owner as subscribers for the interesting tests modified:
    test/CodeGen/X86/avx-cmp.ll
    test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/nested-loop-conditions.ll
    test/CodeGen/AMDGPU/si-annotate-cf.ll
    test/CodeGen/X86/hoist-spill.ll
    test/CodeGen/X86/2006-11-17-IllegalMove.ll

3. lib/Transforms/Scalar/JumpThreading.cpp
Not covered in this patch. It is the only use case using the DeferredDominance.
I would defer to Brian Rzycki to make this replacement.
