(This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first caused two assertion
failures and was reverted. See https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25687)
The patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D13745 is broken into four parts:
1. New interfaces without functional changes (http://reviews.llvm.org/D13908).
2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities
as weights (http://reviews.llvm.org/D14361).
3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.
4. Remove old interfaces.
This patch is 3+4 above. In this patch, MBB won't provide weight-based
interfaces any more, which are totally replaced by probability-based ones.
The interface addSuccessor() is redesigned so that the default probability is
unknown. We allow unknown probabilities but don't allow using it together
with known probabilities in successor list. That is to say, we either have a
list of successors with all known probabilities, or all unknown
probabilities. In the latter case, we assume each successor has 1/N
probability where N is the number of successors. An assertion checks if the
user is attempting to add a successor with the disallowed mixed use as stated
above. This can help us catch many misuses.
All uses of weight-based interfaces are now updated to use probability-based
ones.

The patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D13745 is broken into four parts:
1. New interfaces without functional changes.
2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities
as weights.
3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.
4. Remove old interfaces.
This the second patch above. In this patch SelectionDAG starts to use
probability-based interfaces in MBB to add successors but other MC passes are
still using weight-based interfaces. Therefore, we need to maintain correct
weight list in MBB even when probability-based interfaces are used. This is
done by updating weight list in probability-based interfaces by treating the
numerator of probabilities as weights. This change affects many test cases
that check successor weight values. I will update those test cases once this
patch looks good to you.

In if-conversion, there is a utility function MergeBlocks() that is used to merge blocks. However, when new edges are built in this function the edge weight is either not provided or not updated properly, leading to a modified CFG with incorrect edge weights. This patch corrects this issue.
