If we've already established an invariant scope with an earlier generation, we don't want to hide it in the scoped hash table with one with a later generation. I noticed this when working on the invariant-load handling, but it also applies to the invariant.start case as well.
Without this change, my previous patch for invariant-load regresses some cases, so I'm pushing this without waiting for review. This is why you don't make last minute tweaks to patches to catch "obvious cases" after it's already been reviewed. Bad Philip!

If we have an invariant.start with no corresponding invariant.end, then the memory location becomes invariant indefinitely after the invariant.start. As a result, anything dominated by the start is guaranteed to see the value the memory location had when the invariant.start executed.
This patch adds an AvailableInvariants table which tracks the generation a particular memory location became invariant and then uses that information to allow value forwarding that would otherwise be disallowed by potentially aliasing stores. (Reminder: In EarlyCSE everything clobbers everything by default.)
This should be compatible with the MemorySSA variant, but design is generational. We can and should add first class support for invariant.start within MemorySSA at a later time. I took a quick look at doing so, but probably need some input from a MemorySSA expert.
