simplification has been performed. This is a bit less efficient
(requires another ilist walk of the basic blocks) but shouldn't matter
in practice. More importantly, it's just too much work to keep track of
all the various ways the return instructions can be mutated while
simplifying them. This fixes yet another crasher, reported by Daniel
Dunbar.

dead code, including dead return instructions in some cases. Otherwise,
we end up having a bogus poniter to a return instruction that blows up
much further down the road.
It turns out that this pattern is both simpler to code, easier to update
in the face of enhancements to the inliner cleanup, and likely cheaper
given that it won't add dead instructions to the list.
Thanks to John Regehr's numerous test cases for teasing this out.

blocks in the function cloner. This removes the last case of trivially
dead code that I've been seeing in the wild getting inlined, analyzed,
re-inlined, optimized, only to be deleted. Nukes a FIXME from the
cleanup tests.

aggressively. There are lots of dire warnings about this being expensive
that seem to predate switching to the TrackingVH-based value remapper
that is automatically updated on RAUW. This makes it easy to not just
prune single-entry PHIs, but to fully simplify PHIs, and to recursively
simplify the newly inlined code to propagate PHINode simplifications.
This introduces a bit of a thorny problem though. We may end up
simplifying a branch condition to a constant when we fold PHINodes, and
we would like to nuke any dead blocks resulting from this so that time
isn't wasted continually analyzing them, but this isn't easy. Deleting
basic blocks *after* they are fully cloned and mapped into the new
function currently requires manually updating the value map. The last
piece of the simplification-during-inlining puzzle will require either
switching to WeakVH mappings or some other piece of refactoring. I've
left a FIXME in the testcase about this.

to instead rely on much more generic and powerful instruction
simplification in the function cloner (and thus inliner).
This teaches the pruning function cloner to use instsimplify rather than
just the constant folder to fold values during cloning. This can
simplify a large number of things that constant folding alone cannot
begin to touch. For example, it will realize that 'or' and 'and'
instructions with certain constant operands actually become constants
regardless of what their other operand is. It also can thread back
through the caller to perform simplifications that are only possible by
looking up a few levels. In particular, GEPs and pointer testing tend to
fold much more heavily with this change.
This should (in some cases) have a positive impact on compile times with
optimizations on because the inliner itself will simply avoid cloning
a great deal of code. It already attempted to prune proven-dead code,
but now it will be use the stronger simplifications to prove more code
dead.

regressed seriously here, we are no longer removing allocas during
inline cleanup. This appears to be because of lifetime markers "using"
them. =/ I'll look into this shortly.
