Changes since aec08e:
* Adjust placement of a closing brace so that the general case actually runs. Turns out we had *no* coverage of the switch case. I added one in eae90fd.
* Drop .llvm.loop.* metadata from the new branch as there is no longer a loop to annotate.
Original commit message:
This special cases an unconditional latch and a conditional branch latch exit to improve codegen and test readability. I am hoping to reuse this function in the runtime unroll code, but without this change, the test diffs are far too complex to assess.

This adjusts mayHaveSideEffect() to return true for !willReturn()
instructions. Just like other side-effects, non-willreturn calls
(aka "divergence") cannot be removed and cannot be reordered relative
to other side effects. This fixes a number of bugs where
non-willreturn calls are either incorrectly dropped or moved. In
particular, it also fixes the last open problem in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50511.
I performed a cursory review of all current mayHaveSideEffect()
uses, which convinced me that these are indeed the desired default
semantics. Places that do not want to consider non-willreturn as a
sideeffect generally do not want mayHaveSideEffect() semantics at
all. I identified two such cases, which are addressed by D106591
and D106742. Finally, there is a use in SCEV for which we don't
really have an appropriate API right now -- what it wants is
basically "would this be considered forward progress". I've just
spelled out the previous semantics there.

The current loop or any of its sub-loops may be infinite. Unless the
function or the loops are marked as mustprogress, this in itself makes
the loop *not* dead.
This patch moves the logic to check whether the current loop is finite
or mustprogress to `isLoopDead` and also extends it to check the
sub-loops. This should fix PR50511.

This patch handles one particular case of one-iteration loops for which SCEV
cannot straightforwardly prove BECount = 1. The idea of the optimization is to
symbolically execute conditional branches on the 1st iteration, moving in topoligical
order, and only visiting blocks that may be reached on the first iteration. If we find out
that we never reach header via the latch, then the backedge can be broken.

Currently, LoopDeletion does skip loops that have sub-loops, but this
means we currently fail to remove some no-op loops.
One example are inner loops with live-out values. Those cannot be
removed by itself. But the containing loop may itself be a no-op and the
whole loop-nest can be deleted.
The legality checks do not seem to rely on analyzing inner-loops only
for correctness.
With LoopDeletion being a LoopPass, the change means that we now
unfortunately need to do some extra work in parent loops, by checking
some conditions we already checked. But there appears to be no
noticeable compile time impact:

This changes patch leads to ~10 more loops being deleted on
MultiSource, SPEC2000, SPEC2006 with -O3 & LTO
This patch is also required (together with a few others) to eliminate a
no-op loop in omnetpp as discussed on llvm-dev 'LoopDeletion / removal of
empty loops.' (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-December/147462.html)
This change becomes relevant after removing potentially infinite loops
is made possible in 'must-progress' loops (D86844).
Note that I added a function call with side-effects to an outer loop in
`llvm/test/Transforms/LoopDeletion/update-scev.ll` to preserve the
original spirit of the test.
