getModRefInfo() queries currently track whether the result is a
MustAlias on a best-effort basis. The only user of this functionality
is the optimized memory access type in MemorySSA -- which in turn
has no users. Given that this functionality has not found a user
since it was introduced five years ago (in D38862), I think we
should drop it again.
The context is that I'm working to separate FunctionModRefBehavior
to track mod/ref for different location kinds (like argmem or
inaccessiblemem) separately, and the fact that ModRefInfo also has
an unrelated Must flag makes this quite awkward, especially as this
means that NoModRef is not a zero value. If we want to retain the
functionality, I would probably split getModRefInfo() results into
a part that just contains the ModRef information, and a separate
part containing a (best-effort) AliasResult.

With opaque pointers, we cannot use the pointer element type to
determine the LocationSize for the AA query. Instead, -aa-eval
tests are now required to have an explicit load or store for any
pointer they want to compute alias results for, and the load/store
types are used to determine the location size.
This may affect ordering of results, and sorting within one result,
as the type is not considered part of the sorted string anymore.
To somewhat minimize the churn, printing still uses faux typed
pointer notation.
strcpy/strcat/strncat access memory starting from the passed in
pointers. Construct memory locations for their args using getAfter.
Discussed in D114872.

The size argument of strncpy can be used as bound for the size of
its pointer arguments.
strncpy is guaranteed to write N bytes and reads up to N bytes.

The size argument for memset_chk is an upper bound for the size of the
pointer argument. memset_chk may write less than the specified length,
if it exceeds the specified max size and aborts.

This patch adds support for memcmp in MemoryLocation::getForArgument.
memcmp reads from the first 2 arguments up to the number of bytes of the
third argument.
