a pointer. This makes it consistent with all the other methods in
FunctionPass, as well as with ModulePass::getModule(). NFC.

* before/after pass execution
* after a pass fails
* before/after an analysis is computed
After getting this infrastructure in place, we can start providing common developer utilities like pass timing, IR printing after pass execution, etc.

- change this for consistency - everything else similar takes/returns a
Function pointer - the FuncBuilder ctor,
Block/Value/Instruction::getFunction(), etc.
- saves a whole bunch of &s everywhere

An analysis can be any class, but it must provide the following:
* A constructor for a given IR unit.
struct MyAnalysis {
// Compute this analysis with the provided module.
MyAnalysis(Module *module);
};
Analyses can be accessed from a Pass by calling either the 'getAnalysisResult<AnalysisT>' or 'getCachedAnalysisResult<AnalysisT>' methods. A FunctionPass may query for a cached analysis on the parent module with 'getCachedModuleAnalysisResult'. Similary, a ModulePass may query an analysis, it doesn't need to be cached, on a child function with 'getFunctionAnalysisResult'.
By default, when running a pass all cached analyses are set to be invalidated. If no transformation was performed, a pass can use the method 'markAllAnalysesPreserved' to preserve all analysis results. As noted above, preserving specific analyses is not yet supported.

The definitions of derived passes have now changed and passes must adhere to the following:
* Inherit from a CRTP base class FunctionPass/ModulePass.
- This class provides several necessary utilities for the transformation:
. Access to the IR unit being transformed (getFunction/getModule)
. Various utilities for pass identification and registration.
* Provide a 'PassResult runOn(Function|Module)()' method to transform the IR.
- This replaces the runOn* functions from before.
This patch also introduces the notion of the PassManager. This allows for simplified construction of pass pipelines and acts as the sole interface for executing passes. This is important as FunctionPass will no longer have a 'runOnModule' method.
