5aba2a8293 Integrate Jeffery Yasskin's suggestions with respect to
traps flowing through memory references, add some text to
better cover phi nodes and externally-visible side effects,
add an example of instructions being control-dependent
on a trap value, and reword some of the existing trap rules.

a75ad3c1ca Add an initial description of a new concept: trap values, and change
the definition of the nsw and nuw flags to make use of it.

nsw was introduced to help optimizers answer yes to the following:

  // Can we change i from i32 to i64 to eliminate the cast inside the loop?
  for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;

  // Can we assume that this loop will eventually terminate?
  for (int i = 0; i <= n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;

In its current form, it isn't truly sufficient for either.

In the first case, if the increment overflows, it'll still have some
valid i32 value; sign-extending it will produce a value which is 33
homogeneous sign bits trailed by 31 independent undef bits. If i is
promoted to i64, it won't have those same values when it reaches that
point. (The compiler could recover here by reasoning about how i is
used by the load, but that's a lot more complicated and isn't always
possible.)

In the second case, there is no value for i which will be greater than
n, so having the increment return undef on overflow doesn't help.

Trap values are a formalization of some existing concepts that we have
about LLVM IR, and give the optimizers a better basis for answering yes
to both questions above.

83ebc265b3 Reintroduce the InlineHint function attribute.
This time it's for real! I am going to hook this up in the frontends as well.

The inliner has some experimental heuristics for dealing with the inline hint.
When given a -respect-inlinehint option, functions marked with the inline
keyword are given a threshold just above the default for -O3.

We need some experiments to determine if that is the right thing to do.

cdefc1c441 add the ability for TargetData to return information about legal integer
datatypes on a given CPU.  This is intended to allow instcombine and other
transformations to avoid converting big sequences of operations to an
inconvenient width, and will help clean up after SRoA.  See also "Adding 
legal integer sizes to TargetData" on Feb 1, 2009 on llvmdev, and PR3451.

cbab35746f Make blockaddress(@func, null) be valid, and make 'deleting a basic
block with a blockaddress still referring to it' replace the invalid 
blockaddress with a new blockaddress(@func, null) instead of a 
inttoptr(1).

This changes the bitcode encoding format, and still needs codegen 
support (this should produce a non-zero value, referring to the entry
block of the function would also be quite reasonable).

c54e1a5528 Move the integer type out of 'derived' and into 'primitive'. This permits us
to explain that derived types are all composed of other types, which primitive
types aren't. Without moving integer out of derived, this wouldn't be true.

Perform a few trivial cleanups; 'i1' went from a link to #t_primitive to
#t_integer (a holdover from when it was a bool type I suppose).
