Sameer Sahasrabuddhe 1d0244aed7 Reapply CycleInfo: Introduce cycles as a generalization of loops ...

Reverts 02940d6d2202. Fixes breakage in the modules build.

LLVM loops cannot represent irreducible structures in the CFG. This
change introduce the concept of cycles as a generalization of loops,
along with a CycleInfo analysis that discovers a nested
hierarchy of such cycles. This is based on Havlak (1997), Nesting of
Reducible and Irreducible Loops.

The cycle analysis is implemented as a generic template and then
instatiated for LLVM IR and Machine IR. The template relies on a new
GenericSSAContext template which must be specialized when used for
each IR.
