dfadb4e9ee [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to the call instruction
See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.

Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.

When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.

This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.

This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).

No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.

This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.

Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.

About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.

    return line
  return line[:match.start()] + match.group(1)[:match.group(1).rfind('*')].rstrip() + match.group(2) + line[match.end():]

  sys.stdout.write(conv(re.search(pat, line), line))

8fbd606127 FoldBranchToCommonDest merges branches into a single branch with or/and of the condition. It has a heuristics for estimating when some of the dependencies are processed by out-of-order processors. This patch adds another rule to the heuristics that says that if the "BonusInstruction" that we speculatively execute is used by the condition of the second branch then it is okay to hoist it. This change exposes more opportunities for other passes to transform the code. It does not matter that much that we if-convert the code because the selectiondag builder splits or/and branches into multiple branches when profitable.

537b5180e9 SimplifyCFG has a heuristics for out-of-order processors that decides when it is worthwhile to merge branches. It tries to estimate if the operands of the instruction that we want to hoist are ready. This commit marks function arguments as 'ready' because they require no calculation. This boosts libquantum and a few other workloads from the testsuite.
