Michael Kruse bc88a78cb4 [Simplify] Rewrite redundant write detection algorithm.
The previous algorithm was to search a writes and the sours of its value
operand, and see whether the write just stores the same read value back,
which includes a search whether there is another write access between
them. This is O(n^2) in the max number of accesses in a statement
(+ the complexity of isl comparing the access functions).

The new algorithm is more similar to the one used for searching for
overwrites and coalescable writes. It scans over all accesses in order
of execution while tracking which array elements still have the same
value since it was read. This is O(n), not counting the complexity
within isl. It should be more reliable than trying to catch all
non-conforming cases in the previous approach. It is also less code.

We now also support if the write is a partial write of the read's
domain, and to some extent non-affine subregions.

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.
