Summary:
Use the new LoopVersioning facility (D16712) to add noalias metadata in
the vector loop if we versioned with memchecks. This can enable some
optimization opportunities further down the pipeline (see the included
test or the benchmark improvement quoted in D16712).
The test also covers the bug I had in the initial version in D16712.
The vectorizer did not previously use LoopVersioning. The reason is
that the vectorizer performs its transformations in single shot. It
creates an empty single-block vector loop that it then populates with
the widened, if-converted instructions. Thus creating an intermediate
versioned scalar loop seems wasteful.
So this patch (rather than bringing in LoopVersioning fully) adds a
special interface to LoopVersioning to allow the vectorizer to add
no-alias annotation while still performing its own versioning.
As the vectorizer propagates metadata from the instructions in the
original loop to the vector instructions we also check the pointer in
the original instruction and see if LoopVersioning can add no-alias
metadata based on the issued memchecks.

Summary:
If we decide to version a loop to benefit a transformation, it makes
sense to record the now non-aliasing accesses in the newly versioned
loop. This allows non-aliasing information to be used by subsequent
passes.
One example is 456.hmmer in SPECint2006 where after loop distribution,
we vectorize one of the newly distributed loops. To vectorize we
version this loop to fully disambiguate may-aliasing accesses. If we
add the noalias markers, we can use the same information in a later DSE
pass to eliminate some dead stores which amounts to ~25% of the
instructions of this hot memory-pipeline-bound loop. The overall
performance improves by 18% on our ARM64.
The scoped noalias annotation is added in LoopVersioning. The patch
then enables this for loop distribution. A follow-on patch will enable
it for the vectorizer. Eventually this should be run by default when
versioning the loop but first I'd like to get some feedback whether my
understanding and application of scoped noalias metadata is correct.
Essentially my approach was to have a separate alias domain for each
versioning of the loop. For example, if we first version in loop
distribution and then in vectorization of the distributed loops, we have
a different set of memchecks for each versioning. By keeping the scopes
in different domains they can conveniently be defined independently
since different alias domains don't affect each other.
As written, I also have a separate domain for each loop. This is not
necessary and we could save some metadata here by using the same domain
across the different loops. I don't think it's a big deal either way.
Probably the best is to review the tests first to see if I mapped this
problem correctly to scoped noalias markers. I have plenty of comments
in the tests.
Note that the interface is prepared for the vectorizer which needs the
annotateInstWithNoAlias API. The vectorizer does not use LoopVersioning
so we need a way to pass in the versioned instructions. This is also
why the maps have to become part of the object state.
Also currently, we only have an AA-aware DSE after the vectorizer if we
also run the LTO pipeline. Depending how widely this triggers we may
want to schedule a DSE toward the end of the regular pass pipeline.

Summary:
LAA currently generates a set of SCEV predicates that must be checked by users.
In the case of Loop Distribute/Loop Load Elimination, no such predicates could have
been emitted, since we don't allow stride versioning. However, in the future there
could be SCEV predicates that will need to be checked.
This change adds support for SCEV predicate versioning in the Loop Distribute, Loop
Load Eliminate and the loop versioning infrastructure.

This reverts commit r250239.
It seems unwanted changes got committed here, and part of
the patch does not seem correct.
For instance RoundUpToAlignment() is called without its returned
value actually used.

Since Ashutosh made findDefsUsedOutsideOfLoop public, we can clean this
up.
Now clients that don't compute DefsUsedOutsideOfLoop can just call
versionLoop() and computing DefsUsedOutsideOfLoop will happen
implicitly. With that there is no reason to expose addPHINodes anymore.
Ashutosh, you can now drop the calls to findDefsUsedOutsideOfLoop and
addPHINodes in LVerLICM and things should just work.

r243382 changed the behavior to always require a set of memchecks to be
passed to LoopVer. This change restores the prior behavior as an
alternative to the new behavior. This allows the checks to be
implicitly taken from the LAA object.

The previous commits moved this functionality into the client.
Also remove the now unused member variable.

Before the patch, the checks were generated internally in
addRuntimeCheck. Now, we use the new overloaded version of
addRuntimeCheck that takes the ready-made set of checks as a parameter.
The checks are now generated by the client (LoopDistribution) with the
new RuntimePointerChecking::generateChecks API.
Also the new printChecks API is used to print out the checks for
debugging.
This is to continue the transition over to the new model whereby clients
will get the full set of checks from LAA, filter it and then pass it to
LoopVersioning and in turn to addRuntimeCheck.

Summary:
The class will obviously need improvement down the road. For one, there
is no reason that addPHINodes would have to be exposed like that. I
will make this and other improvements in follow-up patches.
The main goal is to be able to share this functionality. The
LoopLoadElimination pass I am working on needs it too. Later we can
move other clients as well (LV and Ashutosh's LICMVer).
