This enables use of MemorySSA instead of MemDep in MemCpyOpt. To
allow this without significant compile-time impact, the MemCpyOpt
pass is moved directly before DSE (in the cases where this was not
already the case), which allows us to reuse the existing MemorySSA
analysis.
Unlike the MemDep-based implementation, the MemorySSA-based MemCpyOpt
can also perform simple optimizations across basic blocks.

This patch adds a new !annotation metadata kind which can be used to
attach annotation strings to instructions.
It also adds a new pass that emits summary remarks per function with the
counts for each annotation kind.
The intended uses cases for this new metadata is annotating
'interesting' instructions and the remarks should provide additional
insight into transformations applied to a program.
To motivate this, consider these specific questions we would like to get answered:
* How many stores added for automatic variable initialization remain after optimizations? Where are they?
* How many runtime checks inserted by a frontend could be eliminated? Where are the ones that did not get eliminated?
Discussed on llvm-dev as part of 'RFC: Combining Annotation Metadata and Remarks'

The LoopDistribute pass is missing from the LTO pipeline, so
-enable-loop-distribute has no effect during post-link. The pre-link
loop distribution doesn't seem to survive the LTO pipeline either.
With this patch (and -flto -mllvm -enable-loop-distribute) we see a 43%
uplift on SPEC 2006 hmmer for AArch64. The rest of SPECINT 2006 is
unaffected.
