Dead phi nodes are needed for code motion (such as copy propagation),
where a new use would be placed in a location that would be dominated
by a dead phi. Such a transformation is not legal for copy propagation,
and the existence of the phi would prevent it, but if the phi is not
there, it may appear to be valid.

Change TargetInstrInfo API to take `MachineInstr&` instead of
`MachineInstr*` in the functions related to predicated instructions
(I'll try to come back later and get some of the rest). All of these
functions require non-null parameters already, so references are more
clear. As a bonus, this happens to factor away a host of implicit
iterator => pointer conversions.
No functionality change intended.

data flow between physical registers.
This commit implements the creation of the actual data flow graph.
