Chijun Sima b98fe759b3 [DTU] Refine the interface and logic of applyUpdates
Summary:
This patch separates two semantics of `applyUpdates`:
1. User provides an accurate CFG diff and the dominator tree is updated according to the difference of `the number of edge insertions` and `the number of edge deletions` to infer the status of an edge before and after the update.
2. User provides a sequence of hints. Updates mentioned in this sequence might never happened and even duplicated.

Logic changes:

Previously, removing invalid updates is considered a side-effect of deduplication and is not guaranteed to be reliable. To handle the second semantic, `applyUpdates` does validity checking before deduplication, which can cause updates that have already been applied to be submitted again. Then, different calls to `applyUpdates` might cause unintended consequences, for example,
```
DTU(Lazy) and Edge A->B exists.
1. DTU.applyUpdates({{Delete, A, B}, {Insert, A, B}}) // User expects these 2 updates result in a no-op, but {Insert, A, B} is queued
2. Remove A->B
3. DTU.applyUpdates({{Delete, A, B}}) // DTU cancels this update with {Insert, A, B} mentioned above together (Unintended)
```
But by restricting the precondition that updates of an edge need to be strictly ordered as how CFG changes were made, we can infer the initial status of this edge to resolve this issue.

Interface changes:
The second semantic of `applyUpdates`  is separated to `applyUpdatesPermissive`.
These changes enable DTU(Lazy) to use the first semantic if needed, which is quite useful in `transforms/utils`.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
