D106185 allows us to determine if a store is needed easily. Using that
knowledge we can start to delete dead stores.
In AAIsDead we now track more state as an instruction can be dead (= the
old optimisitc state) or just "removable". A store instruction can be
removable while being very much alive, e.g., if it stores a constant
into an alloca or internal global. If we would pretend it was dead
instead of only removablewe we would ignore it when we determine what
values a load can see, so that is not what we want.

This patch introduces `getPotentialCopiesOfStoredValue` which uses
AAPointerInfo to determine all "aliases" or "potential copies" of a
value that is stored into memory. This operation can fail but if it
succeeds it means we can visit all "uses" of a value even if it is
temporarily stored in memory.
There are two users for the function:
1) `Attributor::checkForAllUses` which will now ignore the value use
in a store if all "potential copies" can be identified and instead
be visited. This allows various AAs, including AAPointerInfo
itself, to look through memory.
2) `AANoCapture` which uses a custom use tracking through the
CaptureTracker interface and therefore needs to be thought
explicitly.

This patch introduces AAPointerInfo which tracks the uses of a pointer
and places them in "bins" based on their offset from the base and access
size.
As with other AAs, any pointer can be tracked but it is up to the user
to make sense of the results. The user in this patch is AAValueSimplify
and AAPotentialValues which both utilize AAPointerInfo to determine the
value of a load. For now, this is restricted to loads of allocas and
internal globals. Through the use of AAPointerInfo and the "bins" we can
track struct members separately. The users also know that storing only
zeros (at unknown indices) will result in loading only 0 (from unknown
indices). Other than that, the users are flow and context insensitive
(for now).
To deal with the "bins" more easily, AAPointerInfo provides a
forallInterfearingAccesses that applies a callback on all accesses
that might interfere with a given load or store.

Not all attributes are able to handle the interprocedural step and
follow the uses into a call site. Let them be able to combine call site
uses instead. This might result in some unused values/arguments being
leftover but it removes problems where we misused "is dead" even though
it was actually "is simplified/replaced".
We explicitly check for dead values due to constant propagation in
`AAIsDeadValueImpl::areAllUsesAssumedDead` instead.

We have seen various problems when the call graph was not updated or
the updated did not succeed because it involved functions outside the
SCC. This patch adds assertions and checks to avoid accidentally
changing something outside the SCC that would impact the call graph.
It also prevents us from reanalyzing functions outside the current
SCC which could cause problems on its own. Note that the transformations
we do might cause the CG to be "more precise" but the original one would
always be a super set of the most precise one. Since the call graph is
by nature an approximation, it is good enough to have a super set of all
call edges.
The constant value lattice looks like this
```
<None>
|
<undef>
/ | \
... <0> ...
\ | /
<unknown>
```
We did not account for the undef and assumed a value meant we could not
change anymore. Now we actually check if we have the same value as
before, which will signal CHANGED to the users when we go from undef to
a specific constant.
This fixes, among other things, the bug exposed by @ipccp4 in
`value-simplify.ll`.
The update_test_checks script can now check for global symbols and is able
to handle them properly when they differ across prefixes, e.g.,
attribute #0 might be different in different runs.
This patch simply updates all the Attributor tests with the new script.
