Sanjoy Das d7389d6261 [MachineBlockPlacement] Don't make blocks "uneditable"
Summary:
This fixes an issue with MachineBlockPlacement due to a badly timed call
to `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true.  The timeline is as
follows:

 1. `MachineBlockPlacement::maybeTailDuplicateBlock` calls
    `TailDup.shouldTailDuplicate` on its argument, which in turn calls
    `analyzeBranch` with `AllowModify` set to true.

 2. This `analyzeBranch` call edits the terminator sequence of the block
    based on the physical layout of the machine function, turning an
    unanalyzable non-fallthrough block to a unanalyzable fallthrough
    block.  Normally MBP bails out of rearranging such blocks, but this
    block was unanalyzable non-fallthrough (and thus rearrangeable) the
    first time MBP looked at it, and so it goes ahead and decides where
    it should be placed in the function.

 3. When placing this block MBP fails to analyze and thus update the
    block in keeping with the new physical layout.

Concretely, before (1) we have something like:

```
LBL0:
  < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL1 >
  jmp LBL1

LBL1:
  ... A

LBL2:
  ... B
```

In (2), analyze branch simplifies this to

```
LBL0:
  < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 >
  ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump removed

LBL1:
  ... A

LBL2:
  ... B
```

In (3), MachineBlockPlacement goes ahead with its plan of putting LBL2
after the first block since that is profitable.

```
LBL0:
  < unknown terminator op that may branch to LBL2 >
  ;; jmp LBL1 <- redundant jump

LBL2:
  ... B

LBL1:
  ... A
```

and the program now has incorrect behavior (we no longer fall-through
from `LBL0` to `LBL1`) because MBP can no longer edit LBL0.

There are several possible solutions, but I went with removing the teeth
off of the `analyzeBranch` calls in TailDuplicator.  That makes thinking
about the result of these calls easier, and breaks nothing in the lit
test suite.

I've also added some bookkeeping to the MachineBlockPlacement pass and
used that to write an assert that would have caught this.
