Remove memory writes that are overwritten by later writes. This works
for StoreInsts:
store double 21.0, double* %A
store double 42.0, double* %A
scalar writes at the end of a statement and mixes of these.
Multiple writes can be the result of DeLICM, which might map multiple
writes to the same location when it knows that these do no conflict
(for instance because they write the same value). Such writes
interfere with pattern-matched optimization such as gemm and may not
get removed by other LLVM passes after code generation.

After DeLICM, it is possible to have two writes of the same value to
the same location in the same statement when it determined that those
writes do not conflict (write the same value).
Teach -polly-simplify to remove one of the writes. It interferes with
the pattern matching of matrix-multiplication kernels and also seem
to not be optimized away by LLVM.
The algorthm is simple, has O(n^2) behaviour (n = max number of
MemoryAccesses in a statement) and only matches the most obvious cases,
but seem to be enough to pattern-match Boost ublas gemm.
Not handled cases include:
- StoreInst instructions (a.k.a. explicit writes), since the value might
be loaded or overwritten between the two stores.
- PHINode, especially LCSSA, when the PHI value matches with on other's.
- Partial writes (in preparation)

This new pass removes unnecessary accesses and writes. It currently
supports 2 simplifications, but more are planned.
It removes write accesses that write a loaded value back to the location
it was loaded from. It is a typical artifact from DeLICM. Removing it
will get rid of bogus dependencies later in dependency analysis.
It also removes statements without side-effects. ScopInfo already
removes these, but the removal of unnecessary writes can result in
more side-effect free statements.
