Jonas Paulsson 72374d2610 [ScheduleDAGInstrs::buildSchedGraph()] Handling of memory dependecies rewritten.
The buildSchedGraph() was in need of reworking as the AA features had been
added on top of earlier code. It was very difficult to understand, and buggy.
There had been found cases where scheduling dependencies had actually been
missed (see r228686).

AliasChain, RejectMemNodes, adjustChainDeps() and iterateChainSucc() have
been removed. There are instead now just the four maps from Value to SUs, which
have been renamed to Stores, Loads, NonAliasStores and NonAliasLoads.

An unknown store used to become the AliasChain, but now becomes a store mapped
to 'unknownValue' (in Stores). What used to be PendingLoads is instead the
list of SUs mapped to 'unknownValue' in Loads.

RejectMemNodes and adjustChainDeps() used to be a safety-net for everything.
The SU maps were sometimes cleared and SUs were put in RejectMemNodes, where
adjustChainDeps() would look. Instead of this, a more straight forward approach
is used in maintaining the SU maps without clearing them and simply letting
them grow over time. Instead of the cutt-off in adjustChainDeps() search, a
reduction of maps will be done if needed (see below).

Each SUnit either becomes the BarrierChain, or is put into one of the maps. For
each SUnit encountered, all the information about previous ones are still
available until a new BarrierChain is set, at which point the maps are cleared.

For huge regions, the algorithm becomes slow, therefore the maps will get
reduced at a threshold (current default is 1000 nodes), by a fraction (default 1/2).
These values can be tuned by use of CL options in case some test case shows that
they need to be changed (-dag-maps-huge-region and -dag-maps-reduction-size).

There has not been any considerable change observed in output quality or compile
time. There may now be more DAG edges inserted than before (i.e. if A->B->C,
then A->C is not needed). However, in a comparison run there were fewer total
calls to AA, and a somewhat improved compile time, which means this seems to
be not a problem.
