We cannot simply replace arguments that carry attributes like `nest`,
`inalloca`, `sret`, and `byval`. Except for the last one, which we can
replace if it is not written, we bail for now.
Trying to deduce information for declarations and calls sites of
declarations is not useful in practice but only for testing. Add a flag
that disables this by default but also enable it in the tests.
The misc.ll test will verify the flag "works" as expected.
Summary:
If control is transferred to a successor is the key question when it
comes to liveness. The new implementation puts that question in the
focus and thereby providing a clean way to assume certain CFG edges are
dead or instructions will not transfer control.

Summary:
This patch introduces initial `AAValueSimplify` which simplifies a value in a context.
example
- (for function returned) If all the return values are the same and constant, then we can replace callsite returned with the constant.
- If an internal function takes the same value(constant) as an argument in the callsite, then we can replace the argument with that constant.
