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.

From C11 and C++11 onwards, a forward-progress requirement has been
introduced for both languages. In the case of C, loops with non-constant
conditionals that do not have any observable side-effects (as defined by
6.8.5p6) can be assumed by the implementation to terminate, and in the
case of C++, this assumption extends to all functions. The clang
frontend will emit the `mustprogress` function attribute for C++
functions (D86233, D85393, D86841) and emit the loop metadata
`llvm.loop.mustprogress` for every loop in C11 or later that has a
non-constant conditional.
This patch modifies LoopDeletion so that only loops with
the `llvm.loop.mustprogress` metadata or loops contained in functions
that are required to make progress (`mustprogress` or `willreturn`) are
checked for observable side-effects. If these loops do not have an
observable side-effect, then we delete them.
Loops without observable side-effects that do not satisfy the above
conditions will not be deleted.

This emits a remark when LoopDeletion deletes a dead loop, using the
source location of the loop's header. There are currently two reasons
for removing the loop: invariant loop or loop that never executes.

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

Summary:
Currently, we incorrectly update exit blocks of loops when there are multiple
edges from a single exiting block to the exit block. This can happen when we
have switches as the terminator of the exiting blocks.
The fix here is to correctly update the phi nodes in the exit block, and remove
all incoming values *except* for one which is from the preheader.
Note: Currently, this error can manifest only while deleting non-executed loops. However, it
is possible to trigger this error in invariant loops, once we enhance the logic
around the exit conditions for the loop check.

Summary:
Currently, loop deletion deletes loop where the only values
that are used outside the loop are loop-invariant.
This patch adds logic to delete loops where the loop is proven to be
never executed (i.e. the only predecessor of the loop preheader has a
constant conditional branch as terminator, and the preheader is not the
taken target). This will remove loops that become dead after
loop-unswitching generates constant conditional branches.
The next steps are:
1. moving the loop deletion implementation to LoopUtils.
2. Add logic in loop-simplifyCFG which will support changing conditional
constant branches to unconditional branches. If loops become unreachable in this
process, they can be removed using `deleteDeadLoop` function.
