Michael Kruse 8d0b734e71 Let MemoryAccess remember its purpose
There are three possible reasons to add a memory memory access: For explicit load and stores, for llvm::Value defs/uses, and to emulate PHI nodes (the latter two called implicit accesses). Previously MemoryAccess only stored IsPHI. Register accesses could be identified through the isScalar() method if it was no IsPHI. isScalar() determined the number of dimensions of the underlaying array, scalars represented by zero dimensions.

For the work on de-LICM, implicit accesses can have more than zero dimensions, making the distinction of isScalars() useless, hence now stored explicitly in the MemoryAccess. Instead, we replace it by isImplicit() and avoid the term scalar for zero-dimensional arrays as it might be confused with llvm::Value which are also often referred to as scalars (or alternatively, as registers).

No behavioral change intended, under the condition that it was impossible to create explicit accesses to zero-dimensional "arrays".

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
