Tobias Grosser 808cd69a92 Use schedule trees to represent execution order of statements
Instead of flat schedules, we now use so-called schedule trees to represent the
execution order of the statements in a SCoP. Schedule trees make it a lot easier
to analyze, understand and modify properties of a schedule, as specific nodes
in the tree can be choosen and possibly replaced.

This patch does not yet fully move our DependenceInfo pass to schedule trees,
as some additional performance analysis is needed here. (In general schedule
trees should be faster in compile-time, as the more structured representation
is generally easier to analyze and work with). We also can not yet perform the
reduction analysis on schedule trees.

For more information regarding schedule trees, please see Section 6 of

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.
