Current findBestLoopTop can find and move one kind of block to top, a latch block has one successor. Another common case is:
* a latch block
* it has two successors, one is loop header, another is exit
* it has more than one predecessors
If it is below one of its predecessors P, only P can fall through to it, all other predecessors need a jump to it, and another conditional jump to loop header. If it is moved before loop header, all its predecessors jump to it, then fall through to loop header. So all its predecessors except P can reduce one taken branch.

As discussed on PR27654, this patch fixes the triples of a lot of aarch64 tests and enables lit tests on windows
This will hopefully help stop cases where windows developers break the aarch64 target

This reapplies commit r271930, r271915, r271923. They hit a bug in
Thumb which is fixed in r272258 now.
The original message:
The code layout that TailMerging (inside BranchFolding) works on is not the
final layout optimized based on the branch probability. Generally, after
BlockPlacement, many new merging opportunities emerge.
This patch calls Tail Merging after MBP and calls MBP again if Tail Merging
merges anything.
