This changes getDomMemoryDef to check if a Current is a valid
candidate for elimination before checking for reads. Before the change,
we were spending a lot of compile-time in checking for read accesses for
Current that might not even be removable.
This patch flips the logic, so we skip Current if they cannot be
removed before checking all their uses. This is much more efficient in
practice.
It also adds a more aggressive limit for checking partially overlapping
stores. The main problem with overlapping stores is that we do not know
if they will lead to elimination until seeing all of them. This patch
limits adds a new limit for overlapping store candidates, which keeps
the number of modified overlapping stores roughly the same.
This is another substantial compile-time improvement (while also
increasing the number of stores eliminated). Geomean -O3 -0.67%,
ReleaseThinLTO -0.97%.

For DSE with MemorySSA it is beneficial to manually traverse the
defining access, instead of using a MemorySSA walker, so we can
better control the number of steps together with other limits and
also weed out invalid/unprofitable paths early on.
This patch requires a follow-up patch to be most effective, which I will
share soon after putting this patch up.
This temporarily XFAIL's the limit tests, because we now explore more
MemoryDefs that may not alias/clobber the killing def. This will be
improved/fixed by the follow-up patch.
This patch also renames some `Dom*` variables to `Earlier*`, because the
dominance relation is not really used/important here and potentially
confusing.
This patch allows us to aggressively cut down compile time, geomean
-O3 -0.64%, ReleaseThinLTO -1.65%, at the expense of fewer stores
removed. Subsequent patches will increase the number of removed stores
again, while keeping compile-time in check.
