Siddharth Bhat 7bc77e87c8 [ScopInfo] Add option to treat all function parameters as dereferencible.
Dragonegg generates most function parameters as pointers to the actual
parameters. However, it does not mark these parameters with the
dereferencable attribute.

Polly is conservative when it comes to invariant load
hoisting, thus we add runtime checks to invariant load hoisted pointers
when we do not know that pointers are dereferencable. This is correct behaviour,
but is a performance penalty.

Add a flag that allows all pointer parameters to be dereferencable. That
way, polly can speculatively load-hoist paramters to functions without
runtime checks.
