Summary:
If the only use of a value is a start or end lifetime intrinsic then mark the intrinsic as trivially dead. This should allow for that value to then be removed as well.
Currently, this only works for allocas, globals, and arguments.

InstCombine removes pairs of start+end intrinsics that don't
have anything in between them. Currently this is done by starting
at the start intrinsic and scanning forwards. This patch changes
it to start at the end intrinsic and scan backwards.
The motivation here is as follows: When we process the start
intrinsic, we have not yet looked at the following instructions,
which may still get folded/removed. If they do, we will only be
able to remove the start/end pair on the next iteration. When we
process the end intrinsic, all the instructions before it have
already been visited, and we don't run into this problem.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

When a va_start or va_copy is immediately followed by a va_end (ignoring
debug information or other start/end in between), then it is safe to
remove the pair. As this code shares some commonalities with the lifetime
markers, this has been factored to helper functions.
This InstCombine pattern kicks-in 3 times when running the LLVM test
suite.
